THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, May 21, 2009. 

Hon. NANCY PELOSI, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MADAM SPEAKER: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed Fiscal Year 2010 Budget amendments for the Departments 

of Commerce, Defense, Education, Health and Human Services, 

Homeland Security, Justice, and State and Other International 

Programs, as well as the District of Columbia. Also included are 

amendments to general provisions included in Title VI of the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 

2009. These amendments would not affect the totals in my FY 2010 

Budget. 

In addition, this transmittal contains an FY 2010 amendment for 

the Legislative Branch. As a matter of comity and per tradition, 

this appropriations request for the Legislative Branch is transmitted without change. 

The details of these requests are set forth in the enclosed letter 

from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. 

Sincerely, 

BARACK OBAMA. 

Enclosure.

Estimate No. 4, 111th Cong., 1st Sess. 

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 

Washington, DC, May 21, 2009. 

The PRESIDENT, The White House. 

Submitted for your consideration are requests for the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Education, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Justice, and State and Other International Programs, as well as the District of Columbia. Also included are amendments to general provisions included in Title VI 

of the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations 

Act, 2009. These amendments are necessary to correctly reflect 

policies assumed in your Fiscal Year 2010 Budget. The proposed 

Budget totals would not be affected by these requests. 

In addition, the Budget Appendix volume contains an incorrect 

description of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Salaries and Expenses account. The narrative portion of the account 

was not updated from the FY 2009 Budget request and was inadvertently carried forward for the FY 2010 narrative. The FY 2010 

Budget does not propose to collect a fee for the Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission on contract settlements for commodity futures. The narrative language in the 2010 Budget Appendix, however, inadvertently refers to a proposal to establish such a fee. This 

error is restricted to just the narrative description; the appropriations language, Budget schedules, and Budget totals correctly reflect the FY 2010 policy. 

This transmittal contains an FY 2010 amendment for the Legislative Branch. As a matter of comity and per tradition, this appropriations request for the Legislative Branch is transmitted without 

change. 

RECOMMENDATION

I have reviewed these amendments and am satisfied that they 

are necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the heads of the affected agencies in recommending that you transmit the proposals 

to the Congress. 

Sincerely, 

PETER R. ORSZAG, 

Director. 

Enclosure.
