IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. SKELTON (for himself and Mrs. TAUSCHER) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services
A BILL
To authorize the appropriation of the $10,000,000,000 re-
serve fund within the national defense budget function
for activities to prosecute the war on terrorism.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Defense Budget Res-
toration Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On September 11, 2001, the United States
was the victim of ruthless and unprovoked terrorist
attacks that killed thousands of innocent citizens.
(2) In the wake of those attacks the United
States has undertaken a global war on terrorism.
(3) The war on terrorism has required the use
of the military capabilities of the United States on
a major scale in multiple theaters of operation si-
multaneously.
(4) The war on terrorism will not be resolved
quickly and is expected to continue for a period of
years.
(5) The nature of the war has already required
increased operational tempo for United States mili-
tary forces, has increased expenditure of resources,
and has strained the ability of United States forces
to meet the demands placed on them.
(6) Several of the uniformed service chiefs and
commanders-in-chief of the regional combatant com-
mands have testified before Congress that additional
manpower is needed in order to be able to perform
all missions associated with the execution of the
United States national military strategy.
(7) The war on terrorism requires the acquisi-
tion and use of more weapon systems, support
equipment, facilities, and other resources to sustain
ongoing operations and to successfully complete fu-
ture operations.
(8) Prosecution of the war on terrorism has
caused the President to request a $48,000,000,000
funding increase for the Department of Defense for
fiscal year 2003.
(9) 
Included 
in 
this 
increase 
is 
a
$10,000,000,000 reserve fund that is unallocated to
any specific programs.
(10) Testimony before Congress clearly estab-
lishes that the Armed Forces are facing significant
shortfalls in manpower, weapons systems, equip-
ment, facilities, and other resources that must be
remedied now.
(11) Section 201 of House Concurrent Resolu-
tion 353 of the One Hundred Seventh Congress, the
Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal
Year 2003, as passed by the House of Representa-
tives, on March 20, 2002, specifically provides that
the House Committees on Armed Services and Ap-
propriations may report a bill or joint resolution pro-
viding up to $10,000,000,000 in additional funding
for the Department of Defense to prosecute the war
on terrorism.
(12) That section further provides that if such
a bill or joint resolution is reported, then the chair-
man of the Committee on the Budget of the House
of Representatives shall increase the funding for
those committees by up to $10,000,000,000.
