National Emergency Reserve

   This allowance is part of the Administration's budget process reform 
proposal. The proposed National Emergency Reserve will help cover 
emergency costs associated with extraordinarily large domestic 
disasters. The amount of the reserve, $5.6 billion in 2002, is based on 
the average cost of previous large domestic disasters.

Adjustments to Certain Accounts

   This allowance provides for growth in the budgets of certain agencies 
at rates closer to historical levels.
