                                           The White House,
                                         Washington, July 14, 1999.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives.
    Sir: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed requests 
for FY 2000 budget amendments for the Departments of Energy 
(DOE) and Labor, and the Corps of Engineers.
    The amendments include a proposal for $72.0 million that 
would support enhanced security and safeguards within DOE 
facilitated by the establishment of two new corporately focused 
departmental offices. These new offices are the Office of 
Security and Emergency Operations and the Office of Independent 
Oversight and Performance Assurance. Offsets for this request 
are also contained in this transmittal.
    The details of the requests are set forth in the enclosed 
letter from the Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget. I concur with his comments and observations.
            Sincerely,
                                                William J. Clinton.
    Enclosure.
