Submitted for your consideration is a notification to Congress 

pursuant to Title I of the District of Columbia Appropriations Act, 

2005, Public Law 108–335, regarding the proposed use of public 

safety funds provided to the District of Columbia. 

In fiscal years 2003, 2004, and 2005, a total of $40,717,600 in 

public safety funds have been appropriated to the District of Columbia ‘‘to reimburse the District of Columbia for the costs of public safety expenses related to security events in the District of Columbia and for the costs of providing support to respond to immediate and specific terrorist threats or attacks.’’ [Division C, District 

of Columbia Appropriations Act of Public Law 108–7, the Consolidated Appropriations Resolution, 2003; Division C, District of Columbia Appropriations Act of Public Law 108–199, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004; Title I of District of Columbia Appropriations Act, 2005, Public Law 108–335]. As required by the respective Appropriation Acts, these funds are available only upon a 

Presidential notification to Congress. No further action by Congress 

is required. Of the amounts appropriated, you released $10,623,873 

on November 3, 2003, $10,288,548 on December 6, 2004, and 

$2,471,588 on April 29, 2005. 

We are recommending approval of $10,151,538 included in the

The remaining funds of $7,182,053 will be available to reimburse 

future requests by the District subject to notification of Congress. 

I have carefully reviewed this request and am satisfied that it is 

necessary at this time. Therefore, I recommend that you sign the 

attached message to Congress transmitting the proposed use of 

these funds. 

Sincerely, 

JOSHUA B. BOLTEN,
