[Estimate No. 24, 105th Congress, 2d Session]
Executive Office of the President,
Office of Management and Budget,
Washington, DC, December 3, 1998.
The President,
The White House.
Submitted for your consideration is a request to make
available $120.5 million in previously appropriated emergency
funds for the Department of Defense (DoD).
P.L. 105-277, the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999, provided $120.5 million
in emergency funding to DoD for the procurement of crisis
response aviation assets, contingent upon the President
submitting a budget request to the Congress and designating the
entire amount requested as an emergency requirement.
I recommend that you designate the amount requested as an
emergency requirement in accordance with section 251(b)(2)(A)
of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of
1985, as amended. No further congressional action will be
required.
The resources that you are making available will support
the procurement of several aviation assets for use by
Government agencies tasked with critical national security, law
enforcement, and crisis response missions.
I have carefully reviewed this proposal and am satisfied
that it is necessary at this time. Therefore, I recommend that
you make the requested funds available by signing the enclosed
letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Sincerely,
Jacob J. Lew,
Director.
Enclosure.
