Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In order to ensure the most effective counter-proliferation
capabilities of the United States and respond effectively to the
ongoing threat of terrorist activity, I am notifying the Congress of my
intent to transfer $10 million from funds provided in Public Law
107-38, the 2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery
from and Response to Terrorist Acts on the United States, to the
Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States
Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction (the "Commission").
These funds are necessary to support the essential activities of
the Commission in assessing the capabilities and challenges of the
intelligence community regarding the threat of weapons of mass
destruction.
The details of this action are set forth in the enclosed letter
from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Sincerely,
GEORGE W. BUSH
