THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, March 25, 2003. 

Hon. J. DENNIS HASTERT, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: On October 16, 2002, I signed into law the 

‘‘Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 

2002’’ (Public Law 107–243). After condemning Saddam Hussein’s 

continued possession of chemical and biological weapons, obstruction of inspections, and brutal repression of the Iraqi people, the 

Congress affirmed, ‘‘Iraq poses a continuing threat to the national 

security of the United States and international peace and security 

of the Persian Gulf region and remains in material and unacceptable breach of its international obligations.’’

Subsequent to enactment of Public Law 107–243, the United Nations Security Council unanimously agreed to Resolution 1441 offering Iraq one final chance to disarm. After more than a decade 

of deceit and defiance, the regime, yet again, failed to ‘‘fully and 

unconditionally’’ comply. Iraq continues to pose a grave danger to 

global peace and security. The United States and our allies must 

seek to disarm Iraq and liberate the Iraqi people, and we will prevail. 

Today, I submit a request for 2003 supplemental appropriations 

to support Department of Defense operations in Iraq and to 

strengthen the capabilities of our friends and allies who will share 

the burden of military and stabilization activities. Disarming and 

liberating Iraq is a first step. This request also provides immediate 

humanitarian relief, support for reconstruction, and the development of a free-market democracy in Iraq. Finally, the request will 

enhance the safety and well-being of Americans at home and 

abroad with investments managed by the Department of State, the 

Department of Homeland Security, and other agencies. 

This request reflects urgent and essential requirements. Much of 

the funding has been requested with flexible authorities. This flexibility will ensure requirements can be immediately addressed as 

they arise despite the unpredictable scope, duration, and intensity 

of operations. I ask the Congress to appropriate the funds as requested, and promptly send the bill to me for signature. I urge the 

Congress to refrain from attaching items not directly related to the 

emergency at hand. 

This supplemental request provides essential support to help 

guarantee the success and safety of our men and women in uniform, to help enhance the security of America and her citizens, and 

to establish an Iraqi nation, free, prospering and at peace with its 

neighbors. 

Sincerely, 

GEORGE W. BUSH.

[Estimate No. 4, 108th Cong., 1st Sess.] 

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 

Washington, DC, March 25, 2003. 

The PRESIDENT, The White House. 

Submitted for your consideration are requests for FY 2003 supplemental appropriations that would provide funds to cover military operations, relief and reconstruction activities in Iraq, ongoing 

operations in the global war on terrorism, enhancements to the 

safety of U.S. diplomats and citizens abroad, support for U.S. allies 

critical to succeeding in the war, and homeland security protection 

and response measures. 

You have made the decision to use all necessary means to enforce 

multiple U.N. Security Council Resolutions and implement the 

Joint Congressional Resolution to disarm Iraq. To achieve these objectives, enhance security in the United States, and support crucial 

friends and allies, the request for supplemental funds includes: 

Department of Defense and classified activities 

$62.6 billion is requested to address the costs related to military 

operations against Iraq and sustaining efforts in the continuing 

global war on terrorism. The request includes funds for preparatory 

costs already incurred, the estimated costs associated with military 

operations against Iraq, and replenishing munitions that are likely 

to be expended. The proposal also includes funds to support other 

nations in the global war on terrorism. 

The request is built on the key assumption that U.S. military action in Iraq will be swift and decisive. We are seeking funds in a 

consolidated emergency response account which will allow the maximum flexibility to promptly transfer funds as needed to the appropriate agency, service, or account as the war advances. The request 

includes: 

Defense Emergency Response Fund ($59.9 billion) 

• At least $53.4 billion for Military Operations in Iraq. This 

amount would cover the costs associated with: the mobilization to 

active duty of Reserve and National Guard personnel to support 

military operations on a full-time basis, including pay, travel, per 

diem, and health care; personnel necessary to maintain critical 

manning at authorized levels and special pays, such as Imminent 

Danger Pay, Family Separation Allowance, and Foreign Duty Pay; 

support for active duty military personnel; and, operations, such as 

incremental flying hours, ship steaming days, ground operations, 

special airlift missions, increased associated ship and aircraft 

maintenance, associated logistics support, fuel purchases, base support, and reconstruction. These funds also will reimburse accounts 

4

used for projects completed or underway that were necessary to 

prepare for military action in Iraq. 

• Up to $3.7 billion for Munitions Replenishment. These funds 

would be used to replenish munitions expended during military operations in Iraq and in the global war on terrorism. These funds 

could be used to replace precision munitions, ammunition, and 

other conventional munitions in order to restore inventories to preconflict levels. 

• At least $1.7 billion for Classified Activities. These funds would 

cover the costs associated with classified activities undertaken in 

Iraq and in the global war on terrorism. 

• Up to $1.1 billion for Equipment Procurement and Research 

and Development. These funds would be used to develop, procure, 

and upgrade systems necessary to prosecute the global war on terrorism, including operations in Iraq. These systems include command, control, communications, computer and intelligence equipment, chemical and biological detection and decontamination gear, 

targeting devices, and spare and repair parts needed to keep pace 

with increased operational tempo. 

Other Defense Accounts ($2.7 billion) 

• $1.4 billion to Support Coalition Partners. These funds would 

assist key cooperating nations supporting military operations in 

Iraq and the global war on terrorism. 

• $0.7 billion for Other Programs. These funds would cover the 

costs to repair potential damage to Iraqi oil facilities and assure an 

adequate internal distribution infrastructure. Funds would also 

continue U.S. efforts to support Colombia’s unified campaign 

against narcotics trafficking and terrorist activities and would continue training of the Afghan National Army. 

• $0.4 billion for Fuel. This amount would cover the increased 

cost of fuel. 

• $0.2 billion for Military Construction. These funds would be 

used to construct facilities in Guantanamo Bay, the government’s 

focal point for the processing, interrogation, adjudication, and detention of enemy combatants captured in the global war on terrorism. The funds also would cover construction of taxiways, parking aprons at Air Force facilities in the Middle East, and construction of housing and facilities for military and civilian personnel of 

coalition partners supporting the global war on terrorism. 

Department of State 

$296 million is proposed for necessary operating costs for the Department of State, evacuation of U.S. citizens worldwide, and assistance for refugees for internally displaced persons due to the 

conflict with Iraq. 

• $101 million for Diplomatic and Consular Programs. These 

funds would provide for additional operating costs for the Department of State globally, in Iraq, and to enhance worldwide security 

programs.

• $66 million for Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consular 

Service. These funds would be used to evacuate U.S. government 

employees and private citizens and to provide additional services to 

5

American citizens should the need arise. Funds would be returned 

to the Treasury if unused by year’s end. • $50 million for the U.S. Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund (ERMA). These funds would replenish resources to 

enable this account to respond to urgent, unforeseen refugee and 

migration events. ERMA funds were used to support international 

organizations’ prepositioning of supplies related to potential conflict. • $34 million for the Andean Counterdrug Initiative. These funds 

would be used for needed security and counterdrug assistance in 

Colombia. • $25 million for International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement. These funds would be used for border security requirements in Pakistan. • $20 million for Embassy Security, Construction and Maintenance. These funds would be used for immediate temporary facilities for State Department and other agency employees in Iraq. 

International Assistance Programs 

$5.02 billion is requested to support key coalition partners in the 

conflict with Iraq and in the global war on terrorism. This request 

includes: • $2.1 billion for Foreign Military Financing. These funds will 

strengthen the forces of our partners and allies in military and stabilization operations in Iraq and the ongoing war on terrorism. $1 

billion would be made available for Israel to enhance security in 

light of threats posed by the war with Iraq. • $2.4 billion for the Economic Support Fund (ESF). These funds 

would provide critical economic support to Jordan, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Egypt and support educational and economic opportunities in the Middle East. In addition, loan guarantees will be made 

available to Israel. Of the total requested for ESF, $40 million 

would reimburse amounts used to preposition relief and reconstruction supplies and services prior to the conflict. 

• $0.2 billion for Peacekeeping Operations. These funds would assist coalition partners and front line states supporting operations 

in Iraq, including funding for follow on stabilization activities. 

• $150 million for the United States Emergency Fund for Complex Foreign Crises. This contingency fund would be used for a 

range of unforeseen needs including support for stabilization operations in Iraq. Use of this Fund would require a Presidential determination that a complex emergency exists and that it is in the national interest to use the Fund to respond to it. 

• $120 million for International Disaster Assistance ($80 million) 

and Child Survival and Health Programs Fund ($40 million).

These resources would reimburse these accounts for funds used to 

preposition people, supplies, and commodities prior to the conflict 

with Iraq. 

• $28 million for Nonproliferation, Anti-Terrorism, Demining 

and Related Programs. These funds would be used in Afghanistan 

for antiterrorism training, protection equipment, and demining, 

and for antiterrorism training programs in other countries. 

• $22 million for Operating Expenses of the Agency for International Development (USAID). These funds would help cover the 

6

cost of potential evacuations of USAID personnel, fund start-up 

costs for USAID operations in Iraq, and help cover costs of the 

USAID Inspector General for auditing reconstruction and relief activities in Iraq. 

Broadcasting Board of Governors 

• $30.5 million for International Broadcasting Operations. These 

funds would be used to accelerate Middle East Television Network 

start-up and increase radio broadcasting to Iraq. 

Homeland Security Requirements 

$4.25 billion is proposed to address Homeland Security requirements, which includes: • $3.5 billion for the Department of Homeland Security. This 

would provide $1.5 billion for prevention and response operations 

of departmental agencies, such as increased border and maritime 

operations, including Coast Guard support of the Department of 

Defense; and $2.0 billion for Office for Domestic Preparedness assistance to state and local governments to support federally-coordinated terrorism prevention and security enhancements at this time 

of heightened threat, and terrorism preparedness for first responders. • $500.0 million for the Department of Justice. These funds 

would support immediate and emerging terrorism-related prevention and response requirements, including additional intelligence 

and investigative activities. • $250.0 million for the Executive Office of the President’s Emergency Response Fund. These funds would support immediate and 

emerging terrorism-related prevention and response requirements 

throughout the federal government. 

Specific homeland security requirements must be flexible enough 

to meet emerging threats or respond to attacks, so precise allocation of these funds cannot be determined in advance. Congressional 

notification would be provided 15 days prior to any anticipated allocation of funds. 

Executive Office of the President (EXOP) 

• $2.4 billion is requested for EXOP for Relief and Reconstruction 

in Iraq. This request would fund a new flexible account focused on 

Iraq relief and reconstruction. $1.7 billion is requested to support 

reconstruction in the areas of health, water/sanitation, education, 

electricity, transportation, telecommunications, rule of law/governance, economic and financial policy, and agriculture. $543 million 

is requested for humanitarian assistance to refugees, internally displaced persons, and vulnerable individuals, including humanitarian 

demining in and around Iraq. In addition, up to $200 million will 

be available to replenish accounts drawn down to buy emergency 

food stocks for the Iraqi people. Flexible authorities for this account 

will allow quick transfer of funds to all agencies involved in relief 

and reconstruction as requirements are defined. These funds are in 

addition to reimbursements for costs already incurred to preposition relief supplies. The total commitment of resources for Iraq relief and reconstruction is approximately $3.5 billion. This includes 

funds made available under the DoD heading for oil field repair, 

7

contingency accounts, and reimbursement for pre-positioning supplies. • Additional funding for the Executive Office of the President is 

discussed under Homeland Security Requirements. 

Legislative Branch 

• $125 million is requested for the Legislative Branch. These 

funds would support immediate and emerging terrorism-related 

prevention and response requirements throughout the Legislative 

Branch. 

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. 

Sincerely, 

MITCHELL E. DANIELS, Jr. 

Director. 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, DEFENSE-WIDE

For an additional amount for ‘‘Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide,’’ to remain available until expended, $1,400,000,000, 

which may be used, notwithstanding any other provision of law, for 

payments to Pakistan, Jordan, and other key cooperating nations, 

for logistical and military-related support provided, or to be provided, to the United States in connection with military action in 

Iraq and the global war on terrorism: Provided, That such payments may be made in such amounts as the Secretary of Defense, 

with concurrence of the Secretary of State and in consultation with 

the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, may determine, in his discretion, and such determination is final and conclusive upon the accounting officers of the United States.

This request would fund payments to key cooperating nations 

(e.g., Pakistan, Jordan) providing logistical and military support to 

U.S. military operations in Iraq and in connection with the global 

war on terrorism. This request includes $1.3 billion for payments 

to coalition countries participating in or providing military, 

logistical, or other support for military operations in Afghanistan 

and $0.1 billion for military operations in Iraq. Such support includes transportation into the theater, providing supplies to coalition forces in the theater, and helping coalition forces with communications support.

further, That the funds transferred shall be merged with and shall 

be available for the same purposes and for the same time period, as 

the appropriation to which transferred: Provided further, That the 

transfer authority provided in this paragraph is in addition to any 

other transfer authority available to the Department of Defense: Provided further, That upon a determination that all or part of the 

funds transferred from this appropriation are not necessary for the 

purposes provided herein, such amounts may be transferred back to 

this appropriation.

This request would fund increased operational tempo in Colombia’s unified campaign against narcotics trafficking and terrorist 

activities. 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

DEFENSE EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND

For an additional amount for ‘‘Defense Emergency Response 

Fund,’’ $59,863,200,000, to remain available until expended, of 

which notwithstanding any other provision of law, amounts shall be 

available as follows:

(1) at least $53,346,000,000 for military operations in Iraq 

and the global war on terrorism;

(2) up to $3,700,000,000 to replenish munitions expended for 

military operations in Iraq and the global war on terrorism;

(3) up to $1,050,200,000 for research, development, testing, 

and evaluation (RDT&E), and procurement of equipment necessary to engage in military operations in Iraq and the global 

war on terrorism;

(4) at least $1,717,000,000 for classified programs, in addition to amounts provided herein for RDT&E and procurement; 

and

(5) not to exceed $50,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2003, to support the military operations or activities 

of foreign nations in furtherance of the global war on terrorism, 

including equipment, supplies, services, and funding on such 

terms as the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the 

Secretary of State, may determine:

Provided, That the Secretary of Defense may transfer the funds provided herein to appropriations for military personnel; operation and 

maintenance; Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster Assistance, and 

Civic Aid; procurement; research, development, test and evaluation; 

military construction; the Defense Health Program; and working 

capital funds: Provided further, That the funds transferred shall be 

merged with and shall be available for the same purposes and for 

the same time period, as the appropriation to which transferred: 

Provided further, That the transfer authority provided in this paragraph is in addition to any other transfer authority available to the 

Department of Defense: Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense shall submit a report no later than 30 days after the end of 

9

each fiscal quarter to the Defense Oversight Committees of the details of any transfer of funds from the ‘‘Defense Emergency Response 

Fund’’: Provided further, That upon a determination that all or part 

of the funds transferred from this appropriation are not necessary 

for the purposes provided herein, such amounts may be transferred 

back to this appropriation.

This request would fund personnel, personnel support, and other 

support costs of military operations in Iraq and the global war on 

terrorism. Appropriating the funding in the Defense Emergency Response Fund (DERF), with its own transfer authority, would provide the flexibility to allocate resources to Components on a timely 

basis despite the unpredictable scope, duration, and intensity of 

these military operations. The Department of Defense (DoD) will 

continue to track the funding separately to ensure proper accounting for the costs of the war. 

This request includes almost $53.4 billion to cover the costs associated with: the mobilization to active duty of Reserve and National 

Guard personnel to support military operations on a full time basis, 

including pay, travel, per diem, and health care; personnel necessary to maintain critical manning at authorized levels and special pays, such as Imminent Danger Pay, Family Separation Allowance, and Foreign Duty Pay; support for active duty military personnel; and operations, such as incremental flying hours, ship 

steaming days, ground operations, special airlift missions, increased associated ship and aircraft maintenance, associated logistics support, fuel purchases, base support, and reconstruction. 

These funds also will reimburse accounts used for projects completed or underway that were necessary to prepare for military action in Iraq. 

The request also includes up to $3.7 billion to replenish munitions expended or expected to be expended as a result of actual operations in Iraq, training, and related activities in the global war 

on terrorism. The funding would replenish inventories and could 

include precision-guided weapons such as the Laser Guided Bomb, 

Joint Standoff Weapon, Javelin, TOW, Army Tactical Missile System, Multiple Launch Rocket System, Patriot, and conventional 

ammunition, which could include bomb bodies, small and medium 

caliber ammunition, tank ammunition, mortars, artillery, rockets, 

and others as necessary. 

The request includes up to $1.1 billion for procurement and research, development, test, and evaluation requirements to support 

military operations in Iraq. These funds would cover critical requirements, such as command, control, communications, computer 

and intelligence equipment, chemical and biological detection and 

decontamination gear, targeting devices, and spares and repair 

parts needed to keep pace with increased operational tempo. 

The request includes at least $1.7 billion for classified programs, 

which will be further described in the classified annex to this request. 

In addition, the request would fund distribution of humanitarian 

daily rations. Further, it would fund the repair and maintenance 

of work consistent with the terms of the Oman Access Agreement 

for U.S. caused damages to Thumrait and Masirah airports. 

10

This DERF language also authorizes DoD, with the concurrence 

of the Secretary of State, to use up to $50 million of the amount 

appropriated to the DERF for the limited purpose of supporting 

military operations or activities of foreign nations in furtherance of 

the global war on terrorism. The provision would permit DoD to respond to immediate requirements to support foreign military forces 

by sustaining their personnel and logistical operations in order to 

ensure that these forces can continue to engage effectively and cooperatively in military operations and activities that advance U.S. 

military objectives in the global war on terrorism. The provision 

complements the Department of State’s international security assistance program, which is designed to meet peacetime requirements. The provision would enable DoD to support foreign forces 

rapidly, in response to emerging, unanticipated emergency requirements. The requirement for the concurrence of the Secretary of 

State ensures that the implementation of this authority is exercised in a manner consistent with and supportive of other foreign 

assistance programs. 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

NATURAL RESOURCES RISK REMEDIATION FUND

For expenses necessary to address emergency fire fighting, repair 

of damage to oil facilities and related infrastructure and preserve 

a distribution capability, $489,300,000, to remain available until 

expended: Provided, That the Secretary of Defense may accept from 

any person, foreign government, or international organization, and 

credit to this fund, any contribution of money for such purposes: 

Provided, That the Secretary of Defense may transfer these funds to 

other appropriations or funds of the Department of Defense to carry 

out such purposes, or to reimburse such appropriations or funds for 

expenses incurred for such purposes: Provided further, That funds 

so transferred shall be merged with and shall be available for the 

same purposes and for the same time period as the appropriation 

or fund to which transferred: Provided further, That the transfer 

authority provided in this paragraph is in addition to any other 

transfer authority available to the Department of Defense: Provided 

further, That upon a determination that all or part of the funds 

transferred from this appropriation are not necessary for the purposes provided, such amounts may be transferred back to this appropriation.

This request would provide funds for emergency fire fighting, repair to damaged oil facilities, and to preserve or rebuild the fuel 

distribution system.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, NAVY

For an additional amount for ‘‘Military Construction, Navy,’’ $48,100,000, to remain available until expended.

This request would fund military construction projects in Guantanamo Bay, the worldwide focal point of the U.S. government for 

processing, interrogation, adjudication, and detention of enemy 

combatants captured in the global war on terrorism. Additional facilities are required for military commissions, the Criminal Investigation Task Force, a sensitive compartmented information facility, isolation and interrogation facilities, and berthing (metal panel 

huts) to house all guard and security forces. 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, AIR FORCE

For an additional amount for ‘‘Military Construction, Air Force,’’

$129,400,000, to remain available until expended.

This request would fund the planning, design, and construction 

of several Air Force facilities: planning and design ($5.1 million); 

construction of a parallel taxiway ($25.0 million) and a C–130 aircraft parking apron ($11.0 million) at classified locations; the construction of an explosive ordinance pad at Diego Garcia ($3.2 million); and the construction of headquarters, billeting, medical, dining, and related facilities for military and civilian representatives 

of coalition partners supporting operations in Iraq ($85.1 million). 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

REVOLVING AND MANAGEMENT FUNDS

DEFENSE WORKING CAPITAL FUNDS

For an additional amount for ‘‘Defense Working Capital Funds,’’

$430,000,000.

This request would provide for increased cost of fuel required to 

support military units and operations. 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

SEC. ll. Under the heading, ‘‘Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide,’’ in title II of the Department of Defense Appropriations 

Act, 2003 (Public Law 107–248), strike ‘‘$25,000,000’’ and insert ‘‘$50,000,000’’. Section 166a of title 10, United States Code, is 

amended by striking ‘‘$7,000,000’’ in subsection (e)(1)(A) and inserting ‘‘$15,000,000’’; by striking ‘‘$1,000,000’’ in subsection (e)(1)(B) 

12

and inserting ‘‘$10,000,000’’; and by striking ‘‘$2,000,000’’ in subsection (e)(1)(C) and inserting ‘‘$10,000,000’’. This section would provide the Secretary of Defense with additional authority for the CINC Initiative Fund (CIF) in order to support unforeseen low-cost, high-benefit initiatives that enhance joint 

warfighting capabilities in support of military operations in Iraq 

and the global war on terrorism. This provision recognizes that the 

environment in which today’s combatant commanders operate is 

vastly different from that which existed prior to the global war on 

terrorism and the military operations against Iraq. The pace and 

type of current operations are such that requests for funding support for emergent/unforeseen needs by the combatant commanders 

have increased in number and amount. Increased CIF authority is 

needed immediately to reduce these risks to our soldiers, sailors, 

marines, and airmen. 

SEC. ll. Under the heading, ‘‘Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide,’’ in title II of the Department of Defense Appropriations 

Act, 2003 (Public Law 107–248), strike ‘‘$34,500,000’’ and insert ‘‘$69,000,000’’. This section would also 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 ongoing war on terrorism. 

SEC. ll. (a) AVAILABILITY OF AMOUNTS FOR MILITARY CON- STRUCTION RELATING TO TERRORISM.—Amounts made available to 

the Department of Defense from funds appropriated in this Act may 

be used to carry out military construction projects, not otherwise authorized by law, that the Secretary of Defense determines are necessary to respond to or protect against acts or threatened acts of terrorism. 

(b) NOTICE TO CONGRESS.—Not later than 15 days before obligating amounts available under subsection (a) for military construction projects referred to in that subsection, the Secretary shall notify 

the appropriate committees of Congress of the following: 

(1) the determination to use such amounts for the project; and

(2) the estimated cost of the project and the accompanying 

Form 1391.

(c) APPROPRIATE COMMITTEES OF CONGRESS DEFINED.—In this 

section the term ‘‘appropriate committees of Congress’’ has the meaning given that term in section 2801(c)(4) of title 10, United States 

Code. 

This would provide authority for the Department of Defense to 

undertake military construction projects with the requirement that 

the Congress be provided with a description and cost estimate 15 

days before obligating the amounts. 

SEC. ll. Section 8005 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2003 (Public Law 107–248), is amended by striking 

‘‘$2,000,000,000’’, and inserting ‘‘2.5 percent of the total amount appropriated in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2003 

(Public Law 107–248)’’; and by deleting the fourth proviso. 

This section would provide the Secretary of Defense with additional general transfer authority, critical flexibility necessary to respond to emerging requirements particularly in Iraq, and would remove the deadline for submitting notification of multiple 

13

reprogrammings to the Congress, giving the Department of Defense 

more time to assess mid-year changes in priorities. 

SEC. ll. In addition to amounts made available elsewhere in 

this Act for the Department of Defense, $165,000,000 is appropriated to the Department of Defense to reimburse applicable appropriations for the value of drawdown support provided by the Department of Defense under the Afghanistan Freedom Support Act of 

2002: Provided, That this appropriation shall not increase the limitation set forth in section 202(b) of that Act: Provided further, That 

the Secretary of Defense may transfer the funds provided herein to 

the applicable appropriations of the Department of Defense: Provided further, That the funds transferred shall be merged with and 

shall be available for the same purposes and for the same time period as the appropriation to which transferred: Provided further, 

That the transfer authority provided in this section is in addition 

to any other transfer authority available to the Department of Defense. 

This provision would allow DoD to reimburse the Services for a drawdown of $165.0 million under the Afghanistan Freedom Support Act (AFSA) of 2002. This drawdown was necessary to support 

emergent requirements for training and equipping the Afghan National Army (ANA) ($150.0 million); to build a bridge between 

Tajikistan and Afghanistan ($8.0 million); and to assist Jordan in 

its operations in Afghanistan ($7.0 million). Under the authority of 

AFSA, the Military Services reduced their training and exercise accounts, as a means for DoD to absorb the ANA requirement. The 

$165.0 million would be used to restore funds drawn down from the 

Services’ FY 2003 Operation and Maintenance appropriations in the amount of $35.0 million from the Army, $75.0 million from the 

Navy, and $55.0 million from the Air Force. 

SEC. ll. Funds appropriated in this Act, or made available by 

the transfer of funds in or pursuant to this Act, for intelligence activities are deemed to be specifically authorized by the Congress for 

purposes of section 504 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 

U.S.C. 414). 

This section provides that funds appropriated by this Act, or 

made available by transfer of funds in this Act, for intelligence activities are deemed to be specifically authorized by the Congress for 

purposes of section 504 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 

U.S.C. 414). 

SEC. ll. During fiscal year 2003, amounts in or credited to the 

Defense Cooperation Account under 10 U.S.C. 2608(b) shall be 

available for obligation and expenditure consistent with the purposes for which such amounts were contributed and accepted: Provided further, That such amounts shall be available for transfer by 

the Secretary of Defense to such appropriations or funds of the Department of Defense as he shall determine, and be available for the 

same period as the appropriation to which transferred: Provided 

further, That this transfer authority is in addition to any other 

transfer authority available to the Department of Defense: Provided 

further, That the Secretary of Defense shall report to the Congress 

quarterly all transfers made pursuant to this authority.

Pursuant to the statute establishing the Defense Cooperation Account (10 U.S.C. 2608), funds in the Defense Cooperation Account 

14

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 remainder of this fiscal 

year. 

SEC. ll. Of the amounts available to the Department of Defense, 

(1) $63,500,000 may be used to reimburse applicable appropriations 

for the value of support provided by the Department of Defense 

under the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998: Provided, That this appropriation shall not increase the limitation set forth in section 

(4)(a)(2)(B) of that Act; and

(2) not to exceed $150,000,000 to remain available until September 30, 2003, may be used to support indigenous forces assisting 

United States military operations or activities relating to the global 

war on terrorism, on such terms and conditions as the Secretary of 

Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, may determine: Provided, That such support may include equipment, supplies, services, and funding:

Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense shall provide quarterly reports on the use of these funds to the Committees on Appropriations: Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense may 

transfer the funds provided herein to the applicable appropriations 

of the Department of Defense: Provided further, That the funds 

transferred shall be merged with and shall be available for the 

same purposes and for the same time period as the appropriation 

to which transferred: Provided further, That the transfer authority 

provided in this section is in addition to any other transfer authority available to the Department of Defense.

In addition, section (4)(a)(2) of the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 is 

amended by adding the following new subparagraph at the end:

‘‘(C) The aggregate value (as defined in section 644(m) of the 

Foreign Assistance Act of 1961) of assistance provided under 

this paragraph may not exceed $150,000,000 in fiscal year 

2003.’’

The first provision would authorize reimbursement funding from 

DoD to the Services for $63.5 million under the Iraq Liberation Act 

of 1998. This support was necessary to address emergent requirements for training and equipping the Free Iraqi Forces (FIF). The 

Military Services reduced their training and exercise accounts as a 

means for DoD to absorb the FIF requirement. The $63.5 million 

would be used to restore the drawdown of $29.0 million from the 

Army, $11.0 million from the Navy, $23.4 million from the Air 

Force, and $0.1 million from the FY 2003 Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide appropriation (required for the Special Operations Command). 

The second provision would make up to $150 million of funds appropriated to DoD available for support to indigenous forces that 

assist U.S. military forces in carrying out military operations or activities, including those in furtherance of the global war on terrorism, and activities necessary to prepare for participation in active military operations. The term ‘‘indigenous forces,’’ as used in 

this provision, refers to irregular forces and resistance movements 

that act in concert with U.S. military forces during U.S. military 

operations. Indigenous forces generally conduct military and paraVerDate Jan 31 2003 02:37 Mar 28, 2003 Jkt 019012 PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HD055.XXX HD055
15

military operations in enemy-held or hostile territory and conduct 

direct offensive low-visibility, covert, or clandestine operations. 

The provision complements existing authorities under which the 

Department of State administers the foreign security assistance 

program in support of sovereign nations. Those authorities permit 

the acquisition or transfer of defense articles and services to foreign nations in order to facilitate their self-defense and participation in multinational security efforts. The proposed provision is designed to provide distinct authority to support foreign indigenous 

forces rapidly in response to emerging, unanticipated emergency requirements that arise with increasing frequency in the current 

wartime security environment. The provision would clarify DoD’s 

authority to promote military cooperation in the global war on terrorism or other urgent military operations or activities by sustaining friendly indigenous forces through flexible military assistance that includes funding the operation and maintenance and personnel costs of these forces. The requirement that the Secretary of 

State concur with the implementation of this authority ensures 

that the temporary, emergency authority will be exercised in a 

manner consistent with and supportive of foreign assistance programs. 

The last provision amends Section 4 of the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 to permit DoD to draw down up to $150 million of DoD’s 

appropriations. 

SEC. ll. EXPANDED USE OF COOPERATIVE THREAT REDUCTION

FUNDS. (a) IN GENERAL.—(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 

during fiscal years 2003 and 2004 the President may use Cooperative Threat Reduction funds, including Cooperative Threat Reduction funds for a prior fiscal year that remain available for obligation as of the date of the enactment of this Act, for proliferation 

threat reduction projects and activities outside the states of the 

former Soviet Union if the President determines that such projects 

and activities will: (A) assist the United States in the resolution of 

critical emerging proliferation threats; or (B) permit the United 

States to take advantage of opportunities to achieve long-standing 

nonproliferation goals.

(2) The amount that may be obligated under paragraph (1) in 

each fiscal year for projects and activities described in that paragraph may not exceed $50,000,000.

(b) AUTHORIZED USES OF FUNDS.—The authority under subsection (a) to use Cooperative Threat Reduction funds for a project 

or activity includes authority to provide equipment, goods, and services for the project or activity.

This provision would authorize the President to use each fiscal 

year up to $50 million in Cooperative Threat Reduction funds outside the states of the former Soviet Union, including Iraq, if the 

President determines such funds would assist the United States resolve critical emerging proliferation threats or otherwise would permit the United States to take advantage of opportunities or requirements, including those related to the Global War on Terrorism, to achieve long-standing nonproliferation goals. Existing 

law limits the use of such funds to the states of the former Soviet 

16

Union. The provision would allow the President to provide equipment, goods, and services for a project or activity. To the extent 

possible, such assistance will be provided to the recipient states 

pursuant to international agreements with terms similar to those 

in existing international agreements concerning the provision of 

Cooperative Threat Reduction assistance to states of the former Soviet Union.

2003: Provided, That funds appropriated by this paragraph shall be 

available notwithstanding section 15 of the State Department Basic 

Authorities Act of 1956, as amended.

The request would ensure that sufficient reserves are available 

to fund the transportation and associated costs of evacuating U.S. 

government employees, their families, and private American citizens, and to provide additional services to American citizens 

abroad should the need arise. Funding for American citizen transportation costs and employee subsistence allowances for U.S. government employees evacuated from their posts would be provided

This request would replenish funds for urgent, unforeseen refugee and migration events. Humanitarian requirements related to 

the situation in Iraq have drawn down the balances in the Fund. 

It is critical for the United States to have sufficient funding to provide front-line, life-saving responses to humanitarian emergencies 

worldwide.

of 1961, as amended, may be utilized by the Government of Turkey 

to pay such fees to the United States Government; Further, the 

President shall determine the terms and conditions for issuing the 

economic assistance authorized in paragraphs (1) and (2). If the

for Afghanistan, Israel, Jordan, Bahrain, Oman, Pakistan, Poland, 

Hungary, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria,

UNITED STATES EMERGENCY FUND FOR COMPLEX FOREIGN CRISES

For necessary expenses to enable the President to respond to un- foreseen complex foreign crises, $150,000,000: Provided, That funds 

appropriated under this heading may be made available only pursuant to a determination by the President that it is in the national 

interest to furnish assistance on such terms and conditions as he 

may determine for the purpose of responding to such crises, including support for peace and humanitarian intervention operations: 

Provided further, That none of the funds appropriated under this 

heading shall be available to respond to natural disasters: Provided 

further, That for funds appropriated under this heading the President may make allocations to Federal agencies to carry out the authorities provided under this heading: Provided further, That funds 

appropriated by this paragraph shall be made available notwithstanding section 10 of Public Law 91–672 and section 15 of the 

State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956: Provided further, 

That the President may furnish assistance under this heading notwithstanding any other provision of law. 

This request would provide resources to quickly and effectively 

respond to complex foreign crises. Given the evolving situation with 

Iraq, the availability of these contingent funds is key to responding 

to unforeseen needs and requirements. These funds could be used 

for a range of foreign assistance activities, including support for 

unanticipated stabilization and humanitarian operations related to 

Iraq. Use of these funds would require a determination by the 

President that a complex emergency exists and that it is in the national interest to furnish assistance in response. This request 

would not fund assistance activities in response to natural disasters because existing contingency funding is available for that purpose.

This request would provide $80 million to reimburse the account 

for funds used to preposition people, supplies, and commodities to

During the period beginning March 1, 2003 and ending September 30, 2005, loan guarantees may be made available to Israel, 

the principal amount, any part of which is to be guaranteed, not to 

exceed $9,000,000,000: Provided, That guarantees may be issued 

under this section only to support activities in the geographic areas 

which were subject to the administration of the Government of 

Israel before June 5, 1967: Provided further, That the amount of 

guarantees that may be issued shall be reduced by an amount equal 

to the amount extended or estimated to have been extended by the 

Government of Israel during the period from March 1, 2003 to the 

date of issue of the guarantee, for activities which the President determines are inconsistent with the objectives and understandings 

reached between the United States and the Government of Israel regarding the implementation of the loan guarantee program: Provided further, That no appropriations are available for the subsidy 

costs for these loan guarantees: Provided further, That the Government of Israel will incur all the costs, as defined in section 502 of 

the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, as amended, associated with 

the loan guarantees, including any non-payment exposure risk: Provided further, That all fees associated with the loan guarantees 

shall be paid by the Government of Israel to the Government of the 

United States: Provided further, That funds made available for assistance to Israel under chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be utilized by the Government 

of Israel to pay such fees to the United States Government: Provided 

further, That the President shall determine the terms and conditions for issuing guarantees, taking into consideration the budgetary 

and economic reforms undertaken by Israel: Provided further, That 

if the President determines that these terms and conditions have 

been breached, the President may suspend or terminate the provision of all or part of the loan guarantees not yet issued under this 

section.

This request authorizes the President to provide up to $9 billion 

in loan guarantees to Israel through the end of fiscal year 2005. 

These loan guarantees will help Israel address economic costs associated with the conflict with Iraq and to implement critical budgetary and economic reforms.

GENERAL PROVISIONS 

SEC. ll. Any appropriation made available in this Act for 

‘‘International Assistance Programs,’’ for ‘‘Department of State,’’ or 

under the heading, ‘‘Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund’’ under 

‘‘Executive Office of the President,’’ may be transferred between such 

appropriations for use for any of the purposes for which the funds 

in the such receiving account may be used: Provided, That the total 

amount transferred shall not exceed $200,000,000.

This would allow transfers among the accounts in the International Assistance Programs, the Department of State portions of 

this request, and the new Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund, 

with a cumulative cap of $200 million. This will allow the President to move funds between accounts to provide the most effective 

possible aid to the Iraqi people and support to our allies in the conflict in Iraq and the war on terrorism. 

SEC. ll. Assistance or other financing under this Act or under 

prior foreign operations, export financing, and related programs appropriations Acts may be provided to support relief and reconstruction in Iraq notwithstanding any other provision of law.

This would extend the authority to provide relief and reconstruction assistance for Iraq ‘‘notwithstanding any other provision of 

law’’ that is provided in the FY 2003 Consolidated Appropriations 

Act. The authority in the Consolidated Appropriations Act expires 

once a supplemental appropriation for Iraq is enacted. This authority continues to be needed to ensure that relief and reconstruction 

assistance for Iraq may be provided swiftly and flexibly. 

SEC. ll. The Iraq Sanctions Act of 1990 is hereby repealed: Provided, That nothing in this section shall affect the applicability of 

the Iran-Iraq Arms Non-Proliferation Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102–484): 

Provided further, That the President may make inapplicable with 

respect to Iraq section 620A of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, 

as amended, or other provision of law that applies to countries that 

have supported terrorism: Provided further, That section 307 of the 

Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, shall not apply with 

respect to programs of international organizations for Iraq: Provided further, That provisions of law that purport to direct the 

United State Government to vote against or oppose loans or other 

uses of funds, including for financial or technical assistance, in 

international financial institutions for Iraq should not be construed 

as applying to Iraq.

This provision would repeal the Iraq Sanctions Act of 1990, 

which requires the President to continue an embargo on Iraq and 

impose certain mandatory sanctions against Iraq, including prohibitions on arms sales, certain exports, foreign assistance and Export-Import Bank Credits. It would also authorize the President to 

make inapplicable with respect to Iraq section 620A, and section 

620G, and section 307 of the Foreign Assistance Act. 

SEC. ll. Notwithstanding any other provision of law herafter, 

the President may authorize the export to Iraq of any item subject 

to the Export Administration Regulations, 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C, or controlled under the International Trafficking in 

Arms Regulations on the United States Munitions List established 

pursuant to section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act, 22 U.S.C. 

25

2778, if the President determines that the export of such item is in 

the national interest of the United States.

This would provide the President with the flexibility to authorize 

exports to Iraq upon determining that they are in the national interest of the United States, notwithstanding statutory restrictions, 

in addition to those in the Iraq Sanctions Act, and those under the 

Arms Export Control Act on exports to Iraq. 

BROADCASTING BOARD OF GOVERNORS

INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING OPERATIONS

For an additional amount for ‘‘International Broadcasting Operations,’’ for activities related to the Middle East Television Network 

broadcasting and radio broadcasting to Iraq, $30,500,000: Provided, That funds appropriated by this paragraph shall be available notwithstanding section 313 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995.

This request would provide $30.5 million for the Middle East Television Network and radio broadcasting to Iraq. The funding would 

support start-up costs to initiate a Middle East Television Network 

which would broadcast news and information in Arabic via satellite 

directly to homes in the Middle East. This network would give people in the region, including Iraq, a means of hearing and understanding American policies and people. The FY 2004 President’s 

Budget includes $30 million for the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which would now be used to fund any remaining start-up 

costs and the first year of operations. The funding also would support increased Arabic radio broadcasting through Voice of America’s Radio Sawa and Radio Free Iraq. 

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

SEC. llll. Section 1113 of the Social Security Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1313), is further amended in subsection (d), by striking ‘‘September 30, 1991’’ and inserting ‘‘September 30, 2003’’. 

This request would eliminate the $1.0 million cap in FY 2003 on 

funds available for the Department of Health and Human Services 

to provide assistance to ill or destitute U.S. citizens who have returned from foreign countries due to war, threat of war, invasion, 

or similar crisis. Removing the cap will provide the appropriate 

flexibility needed to address such crises abroad as was done in 

1991 during the Persian Gulf War when the cap was lifted and 

$1.8 million was utilized for such purposes.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY 

DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT

COUNTERTERRORISM FUND

For an additional amount for ‘‘Counterterrorism Fund,’’ for necessary expenses as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security, $1,500,000,000, to remain available until December 31, 2003, 

to reimburse the appropriation for any Department of Homeland Security organization for the costs of providing support to prevent, 

counter, investigate, respond to, or prosecute unexpected threats or 

acts of terrorism, including payment of rewards in connection with 

these activities, and activities in support of the Department of Defense: Provided, That the Secretary shall notify the Committees on 

Appropriations of the Senate and House of Representatives 15 days 

prior to obligation of any amount of these funds.

This request would provide funding for immediate or emerging 

terrorism-related prevention, preparedness, and response requirements throughout the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). 

Funding would be used to reimburse DHS operating divisions for
