THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, February 16, 2006. 

Hon. J. DENNIS HASTERT, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: Today, I am submitting a request for Fiscal 

Year 2006 supplemental appropriations of $72.4 billion for ongoing 

military and intelligence operations in support of Operation Iraqi 

Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and selected other international activities. These funds support U.S. Armed Forces and Coalition partners as we advance democracy, fight the terrorists and 

insurgents, and train and equip Iraqi security forces so that they 

can defend their sovereignty and freedom. Already more than 35 

Iraqi battalions have assumed control of their own areas of responsibility. This request provides the resources necessary to continue 

that effort so the Coalition can continue to hand over control of 

more territory to Iraqi forces. 

In Afghanistan, our Armed Forces continue to track down terrorists, help the Afghan people rebuild their country, and train and 

equip Afghan security forces so that Afghanistan may continue to 

take control of its democratic future. Our coalition has trained 

many thousands of Afghan soldiers and police. These forces are 

risking their lives to fight our common enemy. This request provides the resources necessary to continue the train and equip effort 

so Afghan forces can eventually provide for the security of their 

own citizens. 

The request includes funds to confront the threat from Improvised Explosive Devices and to improve the protection of our forces. 

In addition, the request addresses the need for substantial investment to repair or replace equipment worn out or lost in military 

operations. It also provides additional funding to cover the costs of 

restructuring the Army and Marine Corps into more agile, self-sustaining units that provide increased combat effectiveness critical to 

winning the Global War on Terror. 

The request includes bonuses and incentive pay to properly compensate American troops for the sacrifices they make in defense of 

freedom. It also includes funds to cover enhanced benefits for survivors of all military members and provides for newly-authorized 

benefits for those injured in combat. 

The request also provides funds for the extraordinary security 

and operating costs associated with supporting U.S. diplomatic activity in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

The request includes funds to help create political and economic 

stability in post-conflict areas, help Iraqis protect and sustain their 

infrastructure, and build Iraqi capacity at the national and provincial levels for better, more responsive, and transparent governance. 

The request also supports the successful Commander’s Emergency 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with HEARING
2 

Response program that enables military commanders to respond to 

urgent, small-scale, humanitarian relief and reconstruction needs 

in their area of responsibility. These counter-insurgency and stabilization activities help build civilian capabilities to ensure the 

transition to greater Iraqi self-reliance. Coupling increased civilian 

capacity with increased military capacity is essential to sustained 

progress in all realms—security, political, and economic—and is essential to neutralizing the insurgents and defeating the terrorists. 

Finally, the supplemental requests funds for urgent, unanticipated needs to help relieve human suffering associated with a 

number of humanitarian crises, including Sudan and other parts of 

Africa, assistance for refugees, and the costs of humanitarian relief 

and reconstruction efforts in response to the devastating earthquake in Pakistan. The request also includes funding to address 

urgent democracy-promotion activities in Iran. 

I hereby designate the specific proposals in the amounts requested herein as emergency requirements. This request reflects 

urgent and essential requirements. I ask the Congress to appropriate the funds as requested and promptly send the bill to me for 

signature. The details of the request are set forth in the enclosed 

letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. 

Sincerely, 

GEORGE W. BUSH. 

Enclosure.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 

Washington, DC, February 16, 2006. 

The PRESIDENT, The White House. 

Submitted for your consideration is a request for FY 2006 supplemental appropriations totaling $72.4 billion to fund ongoing military, diplomatic, and intelligence operations in the Global War on 

Terror; stabilization and counter-insurgency activities in Iraq and 

Afghanistan; and other humanitarian assistance. This request supports our Strategy for Victory in Iraq and efforts to support democracy in Afghanistan. This request is in addition to the $50 billion 

already appropriated for FY 2006 Global War on Terror costs. 

A total of $65.3 billion of the new supplemental request is for the 

Department of Defense (DOD); $2.9 billion is for Intelligence Community management and classified programs in support of the 

Global War on Terror; $4.2 billion is for international functions, including the Department of State; and $16 million is for other agencies, including the Departments of Justice and the Treasury for 

counter-terrorism efforts and assistance to the new Iraqi government. The major categories of funding are highlighted below. 

Military and Intelligence Operations 

• This request includes over $38 billion to fund combat operations in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom during FY 2006. The two key elements in this category are pay and operational costs—such as food, water, spare 

parts, transportation, and logistics support. • Funding is also requested for a range of other items including: 

medical benefits and welfare/morale programs for the military; 

higher fuel costs; new military construction in theater; and intelligence activities supporting the Global War on Terror. • The request includes $2.9 billion for a wide range of classified 

activities in support of the Global War on Terror. These activities 

include support to military operations, intelligence collection and 

analysis, and overseas law enforcement efforts. Also included are 

funds to enhance the capabilities of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and to sustain National Counterterrorism Center operations. 

Equipment and Force Structure Changes 

• The request includes $8.3 billion to refurbish or replace equipment that is worn out or damaged from operating in harsh conditions in Iraq and Afghanistan, $2.0 billion to confront the evolving 

threat from Improvised Explosive Devices, and $2.6 billion to improve the protection of our forces by adding armor to all convoy 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with HEARING
4 

trucks, and buying armored security vehicles, night vision equipment, and helicopter survivability systems. 

• The request also seeks $3.4 billion to continue investment in 

Army Modularity, a multi-year plan to restructure the Army’s 

forces by creating new, more flexible and self-sufficient brigadesized units. This marks the last year supplemental funds will be 

requested for this plan. Funds are requested as part of the base 

budget in FY 2007 and beyond. Supplemental funds are necessary 

now to support the accelerated creation of new modular combat brigades, which will reduce deployment frequency and stress on soldiers and their families. When completed, Modularity will also increase the number of active Army combat brigades by 30 percent 

and reorganize the remainder of active, guard, and reserve combat 

and support forces. An additional $0.2 billion is requested for the 

Marine Corps and other services to continue implementing organizational changes that increase combat effectiveness and reduce the 

frequency of deployments for specialized units. 

Iraq and Afghanistan Security Forces and Coalition Partners Support 

• The request continues support for a robust effort to build Iraqi 

and Afghan security forces through the Iraq Security Forces Fund 

($3.7 billion) and the Afghan Security Forces Fund ($2.2 billion). 

This funding is key to our Strategy for Victory in Iraq, turning over 

control of more territory to Iraqi forces, and ensuring democracy in 

Afghanistan. 

• The proposal also includes $2.0 billion for our Coalition partners’ activities in direct support of our military operations, including Pakistan’s counter-terrorist operations along its border with Afghanistan and the Polish forces’ efforts in Iraq. 

• The request includes $423 million in additional funds to continue the Commander’s Emergency Response Program, the successful program that enables U.S. military commanders to respond to 

urgent, small-scale humanitarian relief and reconstruction needs in 

their area of responsibility. This program is important to the success of the counter-insurgency effort in both Iraq and Afghanistan. 

International Affairs and Stabilization Activities 

• The request seeks $4.2 billion for international affairs programs as follows. 

—$1.7 billion for extraordinary wartime costs for the State 

Department embassy and the United States Agency for International Development operations and their security in Iraq and 

Afghanistan; 

—$1.6 billion to help create political and economic stability 

in post-conflict areas, help Iraqis protect and sustain their infrastructure, and build Iraqi capacity at the national and provincial levels for better, more responsive and transparent governance. Coupling increased civilian capacity with increased 

military capacity is essential to sustained progress in all 

realms—security, political, and economic—and is essential to 

neutralizing the insurgents and defeating the insurgents. 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with HEARING

—$514 million for urgent humanitarian relief and peacekeeping funding for Darfur and Southern Sudan, including 

funding for the African Union mission in Darfur. —$149 million for refugees and emergency food aid to respond to crises, primarily in Africa. —$126 million for the U.S. response to the devastating 

earthquake in Pakistan. —$46 million for a limited number of unanticipated costs to 

support our reconstruction commitment to Afghanistan, including debt forgiveness and emergency electric power needs. —$75 million for democracy promotion activities for Iran. 

Recommendation 

This request fulfills known and urgent requirements that cannot 

reasonably be met through the use of existing agency funds. I recommend that you designate the specific proposals contained in this 

transmittal as emergency requirements. 

I have carefully reviewed these proposals and am satisfied that 

they are necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the heads of the 

affected Departments and agencies in recommending you transmit 

the proposals to the Congress. 

Legislative Branch 

This request also contains $41.2 million in emergency supplemental requirements for the U.S. House of Representatives and the 

Architect of the Capitol for security purposes. As a matter of comity, appropriations requests of the Legislative Branch are commonly transmitted without change. 

Sincerely, 

JOSHUA B. BOLTEN, 

Director.

The request provides $1.489 billion for emergency programs that 

will help create political and economic stability in post-conflict 

areas, help Iraqis protect and sustain their infrastructure, and 

build Iraqi capacity at the national and provincial levels for better, 

more responsive and transparent governance. Coupling increased 

civilian capacity with increased military capacity is essential to 

sustained progress in all realms—security, political, and economic—and is essential to neutralizing the insurgents and defeating the insurgents. This request would provide: • $675 million in program funds to assist provincial and local 

governments develop a transparent and sustainable capacity to 

self-govern, enhance security, create jobs, promote political and economic development, and facilitate the implementation of the new 

Iraqi constitution. At least eight Provincial Reconstruction Teams

advise the Iraqi Special Tribunal (IST), the Iraqi court charged 

with investigating and trying members of the former regime for 

war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide; and 

• $10 million to promote democracy activities as Iraqis transition 

to its first democratically-elected government. Funds will be used 

to assist parliamentary capacity building; train and support the development of political parties and civil society groups, and free 

trade unions; anti-corruption efforts; and an open media. 

Afghanistan 

This request also provides $43 million for unanticipated requirements in Afghanistan, including: 

• $11 million for the subsidy cost of 100 percent debt reduction 

for Afghanistan. The Administration, along with Afghanistan’s 

other primary creditors, is now ready to pursue debt forgiveness for 

the government of Afghanistan as announced in February 2006. 

• $32 million for power sector projects, including aid for the replacement of crucial emergency generating equipment, and critical 

early stage components of the Northeast Transmission Project, a 

$500 million effort, which is funded primarily by other bilateral 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with HEARING

northern cities and Kabul, and will drastically reduce the need for 

emergency diesel fuel imports in Afghanistan. 

Pakistan 

This request also includes $40.5 million to reimburse the account 

and fund ongoing reconstruction in Pakistan in response to last 

year’s devastating earthquake. Activities include rebuilding the 

physical primary healthcare infrastructure in affected districts, as 

well as assistance to strengthen the capacities of district basic education and healthcare systems, with the goals of rebuilding the lost

the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) and for support of 

United Nations peacekeeping efforts in Sudan through transfer to 

the Contributions to International Peacekeeping Activities (CIPA)

The request fully supports the African Union’s (AU) work in 

Darfur, Sudan. It will help to ensure that the AU has the resources 

necessary to provide for continued humanitarian access, as well as 

to protect civilians. In the period prior to enactment of this supplemental request, the Administration will continue to support the 

AMIS mission by deferring some activities in other peacekeeping 

operations programs including the Global Peacekeeping Operations 

Initiative, which is the Administration’s effort to strengthen worldwide peacekeeping capacity. Once supplemental resources are proVerDate Aug 31 2005 13:45 Mar 03, 2006 Jkt 049012 PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 6602 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HD090.XXX HD090

vided, funding will be restored to this complementary, high priority 

program. 

The request also fully supports the U.S. initiative to transition 

from the AMIS force to a United Nations effort by enabling a funding transfer to the CIPA account. On January 12, 2006, the AU 

Peace and Security Council agreed in principle to seek a transition 

from the AMIS force to a UN operation within the framework of 

partnership between the AU, the UN, and their respective members. The United Nations Security Council has begun to consider 

transitioning from the AU force in Darfur to a UN force. Funding 

within the Peacekeeping Operations account with potential transfer 

to the CIPA account to fund subsequent UN assessments would 

preserve flexibility, given the range of options and scenarios that 

will be addressed by the Security Council. The Administration anticipates a robust Chapter 7 mandate for a UN mission in Darfur 

that would charge the UN mission with monitoring ceasefire agreements, protecting civilians, protecting the humanitarian response, 

and monitoring compliance with previous Security Council resolutions.

integration and security in Iraq by funding continued work on the 

national electronic payments system. This system would eliminate 

the need to transport cash, knit together financial institutions 

across the country, and help integrate Iraq’s financial systems between the local and national governments in a manner consistent 

with the new Iraqi constitution and elections. Funding will purchase equipment and hire technical advisors.

GENERAL PROVISIONS 

Transfer Authority for funds within the Supplemental 

Sec. . Upon his determination that such action is necessary in 

the national interest, the Secretary of Defense may transfer between 

appropriations up to $4,000,000,000 of the funds made available to 

the Department of Defense in this Act: Provided, That the Secretary 

shall notify the Congress promptly of each transfer made pursuant 

to this authority: Provided further, That the transfer authority provided in this section is in addition to any other transfer authority 

available to the Department of Defense: Provided further, That the 

authority in this section is subject to the same terms and conditions 

as the authority provided in section 8005 of the Department of Defense, Appropriations Act, 2006, except for the fourth proviso. 

This provision would provide the Department of Defense (DOD) 

with needed flexibility by allowing up to $4 billion of the funds appropriated in this act to be transferred between accounts. The Secretary of Defense will notify the Congress promptly of all such 

transfers, and this transfer authority will be in addition to any 

other transfer authority provided to DOD. 

Additional Transfer Authority for funds within the DOD Appropriations 

Sec. . Section 8005 of the Department of Defense Appropriations 

Act, 2006, (Public Law 109–148; 119 Stat. 2680), is amended by 

striking ‘‘$3,750,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$5,000,000,000’’. 

This provision would provide DOD with needed flexibility by allowing up to $5 billion of the funds appropriated to DOD to be 

transferred between accounts. The additional authority would give 

the Secretary the necessary flexibility to accommodate changing 

circumstances as we prosecute the War on Terror. DOD must have 

the ability to respond to urgent requirements in support of deployed forces, such as force protection requirements, in a timely 

manner. 

Defense Cooperation Account 

Sec. . During fiscal year 2006 and from funds in the Defense Cooperation Account, the Secretary of Defense may transfer not to exceed $5,800,000 to such appropriations or funds of the Department 

of Defense as he shall determine for use consistent with the purposes 

for which such funds were contributed and accepted: Provided, That 

such amounts shall be available for the same time period as the appropriation to which transferred. (10 U.S.C. 2608). 

10 U.S.C. 2608 provides DOD the authority to collect contributions from individuals, countries and international organizations. 

These contributions are deposited into the Defense Cooperation Account, but may be obligated or expended only to the extent and in 

the manner provided in subsequent appropriations Acts. This proposal would provide the necessary appropriation for the current 

balance of the account, $5.8 million, to be spent in support of the 

Global War on Terrorism.

United States Contribution to NATO Common-Funded Budgets in 

FY 2006 

Sec. . Section 1005(c)(2) of the National Defense Authorization 

Act, FY 2006 (P.L. 109–163) is amended by striking ‘‘$289,447,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$345,547,000’’. The FY 2006 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) authorized the Department of Defense to make a contribution of 

$289.4 million to the NATO Military Budget in 2006. On February 

7, 2006, the 26 NATO members agreed on cost figures to cover the 

full expansion of the International Security Assistance Force 

(ISAF), a United Nations-mandated mission in Afghanistan that 

exists to create a stable and secure environment in Kabul and its 

vicinity. The Military Budget costs for the expanded ISAF mission 

are estimated at an annual cost of 205 million Euros, of which the 

United States cost share of 22.5428 percent is 47 million Euros, or 

$56.1 million (at $1 = ÷0.8378). In order to meet these revised cost 

obligations, the current authorization cap as specified in the NDAA 

must be raised. 

The expansion of ISAF will enable NATO to take on additional 

responsibilities in Afghanistan, including taking over operations in 

southern Afghanistan from the U.S.-led coalition. The expansion 

will also allow the United States to re-deploy approximately 3,000 

soldiers currently stationed in Afghanistan. The increase in the 

NATO Military Budget will cover costs associated with management of the port of debarkation, support to medical facilities (role 

2 and 3), support to communication systems, support to headquarters activities, fuel storage, travel, transportation, and supplies. 

Drug Interdiction and Counter-Drug Activities, Defense 

Sec. . (a) Authority To Provide Support.—Of the amount appropriated by this Act under the heading, ‘‘Drug Interdiction and 

Counter-Drug Activities, Defense’’, not to exceed $40,000,000 may be 

made available for support for counter-drug activities of the Governments of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and 

Uzbekistan: Provided, That such support shall be in addition to 

support provided for the counter-drug activities of such Governments under any other provision of the law. 

(b) Types of Support.—(1) Except as specified in subsections (b)(2) 

and (b)(3) of this section, the support that may be provided under 

the authority in this section shall be limited to the types of support 

specified in section 1033(c)(1) of the National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (P.L. 105–85, as amended by P.L. 106–398 

and P.L. 108–136), and conditions on the provision of support as 

contained in section 1033 shall apply for fiscal year 2006. 

(2) The Secretary of Defense may transfer vehicles, aircraft, and 

detection, interception, monitoring and testing equipment to said 

Governments for counter-drug activities. 

(3) For the Government of Afghanistan, the Secretary of Defense 

may also provide individual and crew-served weapons, and ammunition for counter-drug security forces. 

This section would enable the DOD to increase its assistance to 

the counter-narcotics forces of the governments of Afghanistan and 

neighboring friendly countries. Improving their counter-drug capaVerDate Aug 31 2005 13:45 Mar 03, 2006 Jkt 049012 PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 6602 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HD090.XXX HD090

bilities will allow the U.S. and its regional partners to more effectively stem the tide of drug trafficking in the region. Curtailing the 

drug trade will help to dry up one source of funding for terrorist 

elements in the region. 

Emergency and Extraordinary Expenses (EEE) Authority 

Sec. . Under the heading, ‘‘Operation and Maintenance, DefenseWide,’’ in title II of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 

2006 (Public Law 109–148), strike ‘‘$36,000,000’’ and insert 

‘‘$56,000,000’’. 

This section would provide the Secretary of Defense with additional authority for extraordinary and emergency expenses, which 

cannot be anticipated, in order to support emergent requirements 

associated with Iraq and the War on Terror. 

Increase in Advance Billing Limitation 

Sec. . Notwithstanding 10 U.S.C. 2208(l), the total amount of 

advance billings rendered or imposed for all working capital funds 

of the Department of Defense in fiscal year 2006 shall not exceed 

$2,000,000,000. 

This provision would increase the limitation on advance billing 

of working capital fund customers from $1 billion to $2 billion in 

FY 2006. Advance billing is a temporary management action to 

avoid insolvency in the working capital funds. The limitation was 

imposed in FY 1999 and the business base of the funds has 

changed significantly since then. To avoid Anti-Deficiency Act violations, agencies may be forced to delay reordering sufficient supplies to maintain inventory levels needed for the war effort. To prevent that, an increase in the advance billing limitation to $2 billion 

is requested. 

Working Capital Funds are designed to be flexible and responsive to customer demands within a business-like structure. The 

Funds have surged in response to the Global War on Terror and, 

in total, are operating at levels 27 percent greater than their peacetime business base. In dollar terms, the Defense Working Capital 

Funds are operating $24 billion above their $89 billion peacetime 

base. For certain of the funds, business has grown 70 to 90 percent 

above the peacetime level. These funds have been priced for their 

expected wartime workload for the last three budgets and no longer 

accumulate cash based on the difference between peacetime and 

wartime workload. Current and projected cash balances are below 

Department minimum targeted levels because of rate reductions, 

cash transfers, and congressional reductions. These low balances 

increase the risk of fund insolvency. The requirement to provide logistics support during war and the financial volatility involved in 

a large and uncertain growth in business dictate a larger advance 

billing limitation for financial flexibility in managing these funds. 

Commander’s Emergency Response Program 

Sec. . In addition to amounts authorized in section 1202(a) of 

Public Law 109–163, from funds made available in this Act to the 

Department of Defense, not to exceed $423,000,000 may be used to 

fund the Commander’s Emergency Response Program and for a 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with HEARING
36 

similar program to assist the people of Afghanistan, to remain 

available until December 31, 2007. 

Commander’s Emergency Response Program (CERP) enhances 

the capability of the military commanders to combat terrorism and 

to support U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 

program provides results that people can see. Examples of projects 

include water and sanitation, electricity, and health care. 

The CERP was first provided appropriated funds and included 

Afghanistan under section 1110 of P.L. 108–106. 

The CERP has proven to be a high-impact program indispensable 

to security and stabilization efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Providing a source of cash, it enables military commanders—who are 

often the only U.S. government officials in daily contact with communities about local needs—to respond immediately to small-scale 

but urgent humanitarian relief and reconstruction requirements. 

The program builds trust and support at the grassroots level. 

Authority to Continue Charging Supervision and Administrative 

Costs to the Iraq Security Forces Fund and Afghan Security 

Forces Fund 

Sec. . Supervision and administration costs associated with a 

construction project funded with Afghan Security Forces Fund or 

Iraq Security Forces Fund appropriations may be obligated at the 

time a construction contract is awarded: Provided, That for the purpose of this section, supervision and administration costs include all 

in-house Government costs. 

This provision would allow DoD to use Afghan Security Forces 

Funds (ASFF) and Iraq Security Forces Funds (ISFF) for supervision and administration costs of construction projects which will 

be completed after FY 2006. To complete ASFF and ISFF projects 

in an efficient and effective manner, the continued oversight of the 

Project Contracting Office is required to close-out ASFF and ISFF 

projects. 

Military Construction Authorization 

Sec. . The military construction project at Augusta, Georgia, authorized in section 2401 Public Law 109–163, is hereby authorized 

in the amount of $340,854,000. This project may be incrementally 

funded. Funds appropriated in Public Law 109–114 for this project 

shall be available to fund the first increment. 

This provision increases the total authorized spending amount to 

complete construction of the National Security Agency’s Regional 

Security Operation Center replacement facilities in Augusta, Georgia. Section 2401 of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 

2006 (P.L. 109–163) authorized $61,466,000 for replacement facilities construction. In addition, the provision clarifies that the 

amount appropriated for construction of the facilities in P.L. 109–

114, estimated at $48,476,000 after rescission, is available to fund 

the first increment of the project. 

Sec. . The military construction project at Kunia, Hawaii, previously authorized in section 2401 of Public Law 109–163, is hereby 

authorized in the amount of $350,490,000. The project may be incrementally funded. Funds appropriated in Public Laws 108–7, 108–


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with HEARING
37 

87, and 109–114 for this project shall be available to fund the first 

increment. 

This provision increases the total authorized spending amount to 

complete construction of the National Security Agency’s Kunia Regional Security Operations Center replacement facilities in Hawaii. 

Section 2401 of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 

2006 (P.L. 109–163) authorized $305,000,000 in spending for the 

project. In addition, the provision clarifies that the amounts appropriated for construction of the facilities in Public Laws 108–7, 108– 87, and 109–114, a total estimated at $147,126,000 after rescissions, is available to fund the first increment of the project. 

Authority to Provide Assistance to Sudan 

Sec. . Funds made available in this Act for foreign assistance 

may be provided for Sudan, notwithstanding any other provision of 

law. 

This authority would permit assistance, particularly under the 

headings ‘‘Economic Support Fund’’ and ‘‘Peacekeeping Operations’’ under this Act, to be provided for Sudan without regard to the multiple, cross-cutting and often redundant restrictions on assistance 

to that country. Sudan is subject to numerous restrictions on foreign assistance. For example, the restrictions relate to Sudan’s 

presence on the state-sponsored terrorism list, Section 508 of the 

annual Foreign Operations Appropriations Act with respect to military coups, and Sudan’s arrears on its bilateral debt with the 

United States. 

Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund 

Sec. . Title II of Public Law 108–106, as amended by Public 

Law 108–309, is further amended under the heading ‘‘Iraq Relief 

and Reconstruction Fund’’ by— (A) (1) striking ‘‘$5,090,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$5,036,000,000’’ for security and law enforcement; 

(2) striking ‘‘$1,960,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$2,349,800,000’’

for justice, public safety infrastructure, and civil society; 

(3) striking ‘‘$4,455,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$4,220,000,000’’

for the electric sector; 

(4) striking ‘‘$1,723,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$1,735,600,000’’

for oil infrastructure; 

(5) striking ‘‘$2,361,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$2,131,100,000’’

for water resources and sanitation; 

(6) striking ‘‘$500,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$465,500,000’’ for 

transportation and telecommunications; 

(7) striking ‘‘$370,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$333,700,000’’ for 

roads, bridges, and construction; 

(8) striking ‘‘$793,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$739,000,000’’ for 

health care; 

(9) striking ‘‘$845,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$805,300,000’’ for 

private sector development; and 

(10) striking ‘‘$342,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$410,000,000’’ for 

education, refugees, human rights, and governance. 

(B) inserting before the period the following: ‘‘: Provided further, That amounts provided under this heading shall remain 

available for an additional 4 years from the date on which the 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with HEARING
38 

availability of such funds would otherwise have expired, if such 

funds are initially obligated before the expiration of the period 

of availability provided herein, except that after such initial obligation any subsequent obligation may be made without regard 

to the sectoral limitations set forth under this heading, as 

amended’’. 

This provision would adjust the current sectoral limitations 

under the heading ‘‘Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund’’ (IRRF) to 

correspond to the existing allocations and allow the Administration 

to provide assistance in accordance with anticipated needs. It 

would also authorize funds obligated during their initial period of 

availability to remain available for obligation for another 4 years 

during which subsequent period they could be deobligated and reobligated without regard to the sectoral limitations initially applicable to them. 

Sec. . To the extent not otherwise authorized, supervision and 

administrative costs of the Department of Defense associated with a 

construction project funded with the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction 

Fund may be obligated at the time a construction contract is awarded or, for pre-existing contracts, by September 30, 2006: Provided, 

That for the purposes of this section, supervision and administration costs include all in-house Government costs. 

This section would overcome any concern that requirements and 

practice applicable to defense appropriations may somehow be 

deemed to apply to prevent the obligation of the entire costs associated with implementing a project, including administrative and supervision costs, at the time the projects costs are obligated before 

expiry of the period of availability; it has been limited to address 

Defense agency concerns so as to avoid any implication that such 

constraints apply generally to foreign assistance funds such as 

IRRF which are appropriated to carry out the purposes of the Foreign Assistance Act and to which such constraints do not apply either as a matter of law or practice. 

Waiver of Authorization Requirements 

Sec. . Funds appropriated or made available by transfer in this 

Act may be obligated and expended notwithstanding section 15 of 

the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956, section 10 of 

Public Law 91–672 (22 U.S.C. 2412), section 504(a)(1) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 414(a)(1)) and section 313 of 

the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 

1995 (Public Law 103–236). 

The waiver of authorization requirements is included because 

there is no foreign relations authorization act for FY 2006. Section 

504 of the National Security Act of 1947 requires that Congress 

specifically authorize agencies to spend funds appropriated for intelligence activities. This provision provides that authorization for 

the supplemental funds appropriated in this Act. 

Emergency Designation 

Sec. . The amounts made available in this Act are designated by 

the Congress as emergency requirements for the specific purposes 

provided herein.
