THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, May 2, 2008. 

Hon. NANCY PELOSI, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MADAM SPEAKER: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed amendments to my FY 2009 Budget that provide the necessary resources for ongoing military and intelligence operations, 

as well as foreign assistance activities in support of Operation Iraqi 

Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. They also provide the 

necessary resources for selected other international activities that 

advance our national security, including food assistance to address 

the global food crisis. 

These amendments distribute by account $70 billion of discretionary budget authority included as an allowance in my FY 2009 

Budget for the Global War on Terror. This amount is already 

factored into the FY 2009 Budget projections and would not increase the deficit. 

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

urgent and essential requirements. 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.

[ESTIMATE NO. 2, 110TH CONG., 2D SESS.] 

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 

Washington, DC., May 1, 2008. 

The PRESIDENT, The White House. 

Submitted for your consideration are amendments to your FY 

2009 Budget that would provide necessary resources for ongoing 

military and intelligence operations, as well as civilian diplomatic 

efforts and foreign assistance activities in support of Operation 

Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. They would also 

provide necessary resources for selected other international activities that advance our national security, including urgent food aid. 

These amendments distribute by account $70 billion of discretionary budget authority included as an allowance in your FY 2009 

Budget for the Global War on Terror (GWOT). The amendments, 

therefore, do not affect the total discretionary budget authority proposed in your FY 2009 Budget. This $70 billion request and all 

prior war funding are included in your Administration’s deficit projections. 

Of the amounts to be distributed, $66 billion is for the Department of Defense and classified activities, and $4 billion is for international functions. The major categories of funding are highlighted 

below. 

Military and intelligence operations 

• $45.1 billion to fund combat operations and related activities 

in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). • $3.7 billion to expand the size of the Afghan Security Forces 

and enhance their capacity to conduct counterinsurgency operations independent of U.S. assistance. • $2.0 billion to sustain efforts to enhance the Iraqi Security 

Forces’ capacity to conduct independent counterinsurgency operations. • $1.7 billion for the Commander’s Emergency Response Program in Iraq and Afghanistan to enable commanders to address 

local populations’ urgent needs and gain support in the fight 

against insurgents. 

• $400 million to maintain and enhance medical and rehabilitation services associated with traumatic brain injury and psychological health issues for our Wounded Warriors returning from Iraq 

and Afghanistan. 

• $3.0 billion for classified activities. 

• $2.2 billion for projected increased fuel costs. 

• $900 million to reimburse partners for logistical, military, and 

other support in the GWOT.

Equipment and force structure 

• $3.0 billion to develop anti-improvised explosive device (IED) 

technologies and provide pre-deployment training in methods to 

counter all forms of IEDs. 

• $2.6 billion to transport and maintain Mine Resistant Ambush 

Protected vehicles in theater. 

• $1.3 billion to fund acquisition of 28 additional Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and support systems to enhance protection of U.S. and 

coalition forces. 

• $100 million for new force protection equipment in response to 

emerging threats in order to minimize U.S. casualties. 

International affairs and stabilization activities 

• $2.5 billion for ongoing GWOT activities: 

—$1.4 billion for Iraq, including support for Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs), Iraqi refugees and internally displaced 

persons (IDPs), provincial elections, security and operations, and 

the Office of the Inspector General. 

—$1.1 billion for Afghanistan, including support for democracy 

and governance, agriculture, development, counter-narcotics, PRTs, 

humanitarian activities, and security and operations. 

• $770 million for emergency food aid and assistance to address 

the destabilizing effects of the global food crisis, including support 

for agriculture programs to increase food security. 

• $350 million to expand stability in the Middle East, including 

$200 million for the West Bank, $100 million for Jordan, and $50 

million for Lebanon. 

• $193.2 million for Pakistan to fund military and economic assistance, increase diplomatic activities in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, and expand U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) operations. 

• $122.9 million to support stabilization activities in Africa, including support for Kenya, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 

Uganda, USAID operations in Sudan, and the African Union Mission in Somalia. 

• $35.6 million for increased diplomatic security support to several Middle East peace missions and personnel in Sudan and Somalia. 

• $15 million to advance the six-party talks agreement to address the North Korean nuclear program. 

Recommendation 

This request fulfills known and urgent needs and I recommend 

that you designate the specific amendments 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 Secretary Gates, 

Secretary Rice, Attorney General Mukasey, and Director McConnell in recommending you transmit the proposals to the Congress. 

Sincerely, 

JIM NUSSLE, Director.

For an additional amount for ‘‘Operation and Maintenance Defense-Wide,’’ $3,193,494,000, of which (1) not to exceed $25,000,000 may be used for the Combatant 

Commander Initiative Fund, to be used in support of Operation 

Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom; (2) not to exceed $100,000,000, to remain available until expended may be used, notwithstanding any other provision of 

law, for the purpose of providing specialized training and procuring supplies and specialized equipment and providing such 

supplies and loaning such equipment on a non-reimbursable 

basis to coalition forces supporting United States military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan; (3) not to exceed $50,000,000 may be used, notwithstanding 

any other provision of law, for the purpose of providing for the 

redevelopment of the Iraqi industrial sector by identifying, and 

providing assistance to, factories and other industrial facilities 

that are best situated to resume operations quickly and reemploy the Iraqi workforce; and (4) not to exceed $900,000,000, to remain available until expended, may be used for payments to reimburse Pakistan, Jordan, and other key cooperating nations, for logistical military, 

and other support provided, or to be provided, to United States 

military operations relating to Iraq, Afghanistan or other aspects of combating terrorism, notwithstanding any other provision of law: 

Provided, That the Congress designates this amount as an emergency requirement for this specific purpose: Provided further, That

during Freedom, including classified activities. These activities encompass operations; transportation; supplies and equipment; depot 

maintenance; and command, control, and intelligence capabilities. 

This request would also fund the communication backbone and continuing support for voice, video and data systems management; 

transmission; and satellite services. In addition, this request would 

finance continuing support for contract audit; contract management; media; family support counseling; wounded, ill and injured 

initiatives; and critical infrastructure protection. This request includes funds to support the lift and sustainment costs of coalition 

partners. 

The additional funding authorized for the Combatant Commander Initiative Fund supports unforeseen low-cost, high-benefit 

initiatives that enhance joint warfighting capabilities in support of 

Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. 

The request would also partially fund payments to key cooperating nations (e.g., Pakistan and Jordan) and coalition countries 

providing logistical, military, or other support to U.S. military operations in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, or other aspects of combating terrorism. Such support includes transportation into the theater, providing supplies to 

coalition forces in the theater, and helping coalition forces with 

communication support. 

The proposed language would authorize the Department of De- fense (DOD) to use up to $100 million of Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide funds to provide specialized training, supplies 

and equipment to coalition forces that could not deploy to or conduct their missions in Iraq and Afghanistan without such support. 

This authority will allow specialized pre-deployment training to ensure coalition forces are adequately prepared for deployment. Use 

of this authority to purchase equipment for deployments will allow 

the U.S. Government to retain ownership of such equipment and 

to rotate the equipment to follow-on replacements of coalition forces 

(except for those personal clothing items or other supplies not normally re-issued to follow-on rotations), thus achieving a cost savings. Furthermore, DOD can ensure that coalition forces have current and interoperable equipment, especially counter-improvised 

explosive device equipment, thus potentially reducing casualties for 

both coalition and U.S. forces. 

The proposed language would also provide authority of up to $50 

million to continue the work being done by the Task Force to improve Business and Stability Operations in Iraq, as well as other 

classified activities.

forces to defeat and disarm these weapons. The use of IEDs continues to be a significant challenging threat to U.S. and coalition 

forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. This request will fund action 

against components of the IED system, the IED makers, the trainers, and supporting infrastructures. It will enable the Department 

to meet joint urgent operational needs identified by the field commanders by developing and procuring the latest technologies and 

equipment. The request will fund efforts to improve the Department’s ability to detect IEDs at greater stand-off distances; conduct 

research on counter-IED protective materials; and conduct research 

and development of systems to detect and counter-IED triggers at 

increasing ranges.

TITLE VIII—GENERAL PROVISIONS

FY 2009 Budget Appendix Page: 334 

FY 2009 Pending Request: ——— Proposed Amendment: Language 

Revised Request: ———

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, insert 

the following new sections following Sec. 8058 and before the opening parenthesis of the bill citation:) 

SEC. 8059. SPECIAL TRANSFER AUTHORITY. Upon the determination of the Secretary of Defense that such action is necessary 

in the national interest, the Secretary may transfer between appropriations up to $4,000,000,000 of the funds made available to the 

Department of Defense in this Act and designated as an emergency 

requirement: Provided, That the Secretary shall notify the Congress 

promptly of each transfer made pursuant to the authority in this 

section: Provided further That the authority provided in this section 

is in addition to any other transfer authority available to the Department of Defense and is subject to the same terms and conditions 

as the authority provided in section 8003 of this Act. 

This language will provide the Department with special transfer 

authority to fund emerging requirements. 

SEC. 8060. INTELLIGENCE AUTHORITY. Funds appropriated 

or made available by transfer in this act may be obligated and expended notwithstanding section 504(a)(1) of the National Security 

Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 414(a)(1)). 

This proposed waiver is necessary in order to authorize the Department and the Intelligence Community to obligate supplemental 

amounts for activities funded through the National Intelligence 

Program. 

SEC. 8061. COMMANDER’S EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAM (CERP) AUTHORITY. 

(a) Availability of Funds for CERP. From funds made available 

in this Act to the Department of Defense and designated as an emergency requirement, not to exceed $1,722,000,000, to remain available until December 31, 2009, may be used, notwithstanding any 

other provision of law, to fund the Commander’s Emergency Response Program for the purpose of enabling military commanders in 

Iraq to respond to urgent humanitarian relief and reconstruction requirements within their areas of responsibility by carrying out programs that will immediately assist the Iraqi people, and to fund a 

similar program to assist the people of Afghanistan: Provided, That 

the Secretary of Defense may accept contributions of funds from any 

person, foreign government, or international organization to carry 

out the Commander’s Emergency Response Program in Iraq or Afghanistan, and may use any funds contributed for such purpose. 

(b) Quarterly Reports. Not later than 45 days after the end of each 

fiscal year quarter (beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 

2009), the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report regarding the source of funds and the allocation and use of funds during that quarter that were made availVerDate Aug 31 2005 07:23 May 06, 2008 Jkt 069012 PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 6602 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HD108.XXX HD108

able pursuant to the authority provided in this section or under any 

other provision of law for the purposes of the programs under subsection (a). 

Additional Commander’s Emergency Response Program (CERP) 

authority is required to support the military commanders in winning the support of the locals and in stabilizing Iraq and Afghanistan. The CERP projects are identified by commanders working in 

concert with provincial and district leaders. The military commanders in the field believe that CERP is one of their most valuable weapons in securing and stabilizing the various regions/cities 

in Iraq. The last proviso will allow the Secretary of Defense to accept contributions from the Government of Iraq and others for the 

military commanders to use for CERP projects. 

SEC. 8062. DEFENSE COOPERATION ACCOUNT CONTRIBUTIONS TRANSFER AUTHORITY. During fiscal year 2009, the 

Secretary of Defense may transfer amounts in or credited to the Defense Cooperation Account, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2608, 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: Provided further, That the Secretary shall report to the 

Congress all transfers made pursuant to this authority. 

This authority will allow the Department to obligate any funds 

contributed by the Iraqis and others specifically for the Global War 

on Terror. 

SEC. 8063. SPECIAL COUNTER-DRUG AUTHORITY. 

(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 $30,000,000 may be 

used for support for counter-drug activities of the Governments of 

Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and 

Turkmenistan: 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 subsection 

(b)(2) 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 (Public Law 105–85, as amended by Public 

Laws 106–398, 108–136, and 109–364) and conditions on the provision of support as contained in section 1033 shall apply for fiscal 

year 2009. 

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

detection, interception, monitoring and testing equipment to said 

Governments for counter-drug activities. 

This section would add $30 million in additional Section 1033 authority in FY 2009. Current law authorizes the Department of Defense (DOD) to provide specific types of support, not to exceed $60 

million annually. This authorization has enabled the Department 

and the U.S. Government to bolster nascent security efforts in Afghanistan and Central Asia. The requested authority increases the 

amount of funding DOD can spend to accommodate Afghanistan’s 

and other Central Asia nations’ acute requirements for equipment

and maintenance. These countries are situated either along key 

drug smuggling routes or are facing an increasing threat of 

narcoterrorism. Enhanced interdiction capabilities for the countries 

listed in this legislation are critical to U.S. efforts to stem the flow 

of illicit drugs, and to reduce the threat of narcoterrorism to struggling democracies. 

SEC. 8064. LIFT AND SUSTAIN AUTHORITY FOR IRAQ AND 

AFGHANISTAN. Funds made available to the Department of Defense in this Act and designated as an emergency requirement may 

be used, notwithstanding any other provision of law, to provide supplies, services, transportation, including airlift and sealift and other 

logistical support to coalition forces supporting military and stability operations in Iraq and Afghanistan: Provided, That the Secretary of Defense shall provide quarterly reports to the congressional 

defense committees regarding support provided under this section. 

This section would authorize the Department of Defense (DOD) 

to provide airlift, sealift, and sustainment for countries supporting 

U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The DOD has 

used this authority, generally referred to as Lift and Sustain authority, to support willing coalition countries that otherwise could 

not support U.S. military operations. Smaller coalition countries do 

not have the financial means or the funding to transport their 

forces to and from the operating theater or to sustain their forces 

for extended deployments. Direct support from the United States is 

critical to enabling forces from these countries to remain in theater. 

Without this authority, many coalition countries will not be able to 

maintain their forces in U.S. military operations thus increasing 

the stress on U.S. forces operating in theater. 

SEC. 8065. EXTENSION OF FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR POST 

TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AND TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY. Of the amounts provided under the heading ‘‘Defense Health 

Program’’ in Public Law 110–28 for the treatment of traumatic 

brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. $600,000,000 of 

such amounts shall be available for psychological health and traumatic brain injury: Provided, That of such amounts, $100,000,000 

shall remain available until September 30, 2009. 

The Department needs to extend the period of availability for 

$100 million of the $600 million appropriated for Post-Traumatic 

Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury in the U.S. Troop 

Readiness, Veterans’ Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (Public Law 110–28) to ensure 

funds are executed in a fiscally prudent manner. While the Department has moved aggressively to improve research, prevention, access, diagnosis, mitigation, treatment and rehabilitative care for individuals with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic 

Brain Injury, initial ramp-up and staffing requirements have taken 

longer than expected due to the specialized and cutting-edge nature 

of these programs. To avoid further complications in the execution 

of these funds, the language also clarifies that the funding provided 

for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is available under the more 

broadly defined term of psychological health.

$1,297,700,000, to remain available until September 30, 2010: Provided, That the Congress designates this amount as an emergency 

requirement for this specific purpose: Provided further, That, notwithstanding any other provision of law, of the funds appropriated 

under this heading, up to $15,000,000 may be made available for 

assistance to the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea to support 

the goals of the Six Party Talks: Provided further, That with respect 

to the previous proviso, the Secretary of State shall, not fewer than 

5 days prior to the obligation of funds from this appropriation for 

such purpose, notify the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate 

and the House of Representatives in writing of the details of any 

such obligation. 

This proposal would fund the incremental costs for activities in 

Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, the West Bank, Jordan and North 

Korea. This includes $750 million to support the continuation of urgent assistance programs in Afghanistan. Of this amount, $100 

million would sustain funding for alternative development programs in large poppy producing provinces; $189 million would support road and power projects; $220 million would support democracy and governance programs including support for local elections, 

rule of law, and civil society; $101 million would fund the continuation and expansion of agriculture and economic development programs; $125 million would continue the Local Governance and Capacity Development program at the provincial level; and $15 million would provide support for internally displaced persons (IDPs). 

The proposal would provide $212.8 million for Iraq, including $75 

million for a new, urgent program to support upcoming provincial 

elections that the Iraqi government recently announced and $137.8 

million for the Quick Response Fund to give our Provincial Reconstruction Team leaders the resources they need to support stability 

operations, accelerate provincial economic development, and provide critical employment opportunities. 

This proposal would also provide: 

• $70 million for Pakistan for district elections support, good 

governance programs, and rural health and basic education 

initiatives in conflict regions outside of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas; 

• $150 million for urgent budget support to the Palestinian 

Authority;

• $100 million for Jordan, including $60 million for support 

to communities that have experienced an influx of Iraqi refugees and $40 million to support economic growth, health, education, and governance programs to help Jordan cope with increasing economic pressures; and • $15 million for Heavy Fuel Oil to North Korea in return 

for actions taken by North Korea on denuclearization. Authority is required to provide the heavy fuel oil or an equivalent 

value of energy or economic assistance to North Korea on an 

‘‘action-for-action’’ basis in support of the Six Party Talks. This 

assistance is in return for actions taken by North Korea on 

denuclearization and would allow other programs supporting 

the Six Party Talks.

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, insert 

the following new sections immediately after the language in Sec. 

642 and before the opening parenthesis of the bill citation:) 

AUTHORIZATION 

Sec. 643. Funds appropriated by this Act may be obligated and 

expended notwithstanding section 10 of Public Law 91–672 (22 

U.S.C 2412), section 15 of the State Department Basic Authorities 

Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 2680) and section 504(a)(1) of the National 

Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C 414(a)(1)). 

The proposal contains appropriations for a number of items for 

which authorizations for fiscal year 2009 have not yet been enacted. This provision would allow funds appropriated to be obligated in the absence of a prior authorization of appropriations. 

BUYING POWER MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT 

Sec. 644. Buying Power Maintenance Account. Expired, unobligated balances of funds appropriated for fiscal year 2009 under the 

headings ‘Administration of Foreign Affairs’ and ’Broadcasting 

Board of Governors’ in this or any other Act may be transferred to 


wwoods2 on PRODPC68 with REPORTS

and merged with the Buying Power Maintenance Accounts of the 

Department of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors, respectively, not later than the end of the fifth fiscal year after the last 

fiscal year for which such funds are available for the purposes for 

which appropriated, notwithstanding section 24(b)(7)(D) of the State 

Department Basic Authorities Act. 

This provision would permit the transfer of expired, unobligated 

balances of funds appropriated for fiscal year 2009 to the no-year 

Buying Power Maintenance Accounts of the Department of State 

and Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG). 

This authority will help the Department of State and Broadcasting Board of Governors offset adverse fluctuations in foreign 

currency exchange rates, which in recent years have exerted considerable downward pressure on Department of State and BBG accounts. The provision waives section 24(b)(7)(D) of the State Department Basic Authorities Act (22 U.S.C. 2696(b)(7)(D)), which 

makes such transfers subject to advance appropriations, to clarify 

that exercise of this authority does not require future appropriations. 

The Buying Power Maintenance Account (BPMA) authority was 

established to provide the Department of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors with a mechanism to respond to varying exchange rates; however, both accounts have been depleted and 

are unable to capture exchange rate gains due to the dollar’s prolonged decline overseas.
