<GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT>
April 7, 2003.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and ordered
to be printed
The White House,
Washington, April 3, 2003.
Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: In order to continue the investigation
into the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United
States, I am notifying the Congress of my intent to reallocate
funds previously transferred from the Emergency Response Fund
(ERF).
At this time, $9 million of ERF funds will be transferred
to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United
States to ensure that it has the necessary resources to
investigate fully the terrible tragedy of September 11, 2001.
My Administration is strongly committed to the purpose and
mission of the Commission and will continue to cooperate with
the Commission in accordance with applicable law to help ensure
that it succeeds. I expect that the Commission's final report
will contain important recommendations.
The details of this action are set forth in the enclosed
letter from the Director of the Office of Management and
Budget. I concur with his comments and recommendations.
Sincerely,
George W. Bush.
[Estimate No. 6, 108th Cong., 1st Sess.]
Executive Office of the President,
Office of Management and Budget,
Washington, DC, April 3, 2003.
The President,
The White House.
Submitted for your consideration is a request to reallocate
funds provided in P.L. 107-38, the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations Act for Recovery from and Response to Terrorist
Attacks on the United States, FY 2001. This request would
reallocate funds previously transferred from the Emergency
Response Fund (ERF).
In order to ensure that the National Commission on
Terrorist Attacks upon the United States has sufficient
resources to complete its mission, the Administration now
proposes to reallocate $9 million in ERF funding previously
transferred to the Small Business Administration (SBA) to the
Commission. The SBA funds are available for transfer because
they are in excess of identified disaster loan needs related to
the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The Commission was established in the Legislative Branch on
November 27, 2002, to examine and report facts and causes
related to the September 11th attacks, to report its findings
to the Congress and the President, and to provide
recommendations. This funding will be used to support the
Commission's continuing investigation into the circumstances
and causes of the terrorist attacks. Pursuant to P.L. 107-38,
these funds will be made available immediately after this
designation is forwarded to the Congress.
I have carefully reviewed this proposal and am satisfied
that it is necessary at this time. Therefore, I recommend your
approval of the requested reallocation.
Sincerely,
Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr.,
Director.
Enclosure.
Reallocation of Amounts Previously Appropriated and Transferred From
the Emergency Response Fund
Available Immediately:
Legislative Branch: Legislative Branch Boards and
Commissions--National Commission on Terrorist
Attacks upon the United States...................... $9,000,000
These funds will be used, consistent with Title VI of
Public Law 107-306, to examine and report facts and causes
related to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, to report
to the President and the Congress on the Commission's findings,
and to provide recommendations to prevent future attacks.
Pursuant to Title VI, the Commission's findings are due no
later than May 27, 2004 and the Commission terminates 60 days
thereafter.
