THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
TRANSMITTING
EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT FOR RECOVERY FROM AND
RESPONSE TO TERRORIST ATTACKS ON THE UNITED STATES
October 17, 2001.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and
ordered to be printed
The White House,
Washington, October 17, 2001.
Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: In accordance with provisions of Public
Law 107-38, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for
Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United
States, FY 2001, I ask the Congress to consider expeditiously
the enclosed proposals, totaling $20 billion, to enable the
Government to continue to provide assistance to the victims of
the September 11th attacks and to deal with the consequences of
the attacks.
Public Law 107-38--legislation crafted and enacted with
strong bipartisan cooperation--provided a total of $40 billion
in emergency funding to the Emergency Response Fund. The $40
billion in emergency expenses enacted in Public Law 107-38 was
provided to assist victims of the attacks and to deal with
other consequences of the attacks, including the costs of: (1)
providing Federal, State, and local preparedness for mitigating
and responding to the attacks; (2) providing support to
counter, investigate, or prosecute domestic or international
terrorism; (3) providing increased transportation security; (4)
repairing public facilities and transportation systems damaged
by the attacks; and (5) supporting national security.
As required by Public Law 107-38, on September 18th, I
designated the entire $40 billion as an emergency funding
requirement. Today, I hereby request and designate these
individual proposals as emergency funding requirements pursuant
to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency
Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended. In addition, I hereby
designate the funds in or credited to the Defense Cooperation
Account during FY 2002 as emergency requirements pursuant to
section 251(b)(2)(A) of such Act.
I am proud that we have continued to work together with
such bipartisan spirit in the weeks following the despicable
attacks on our Nation. Since final estimates of the total
resources needed to address the consequences of this tragedy
will not be known for months to come, I urge the Congress to
enact--without delay--these specific requests that address
immediate, near-term needs and that represent currently defined
and certain requirements.
My Administration does not intend to seek additional
supplemental funding for either domestic or defense needs for
the remainder of this session of Congress. If further
requirements become clear, we will work with the Congress to
address additional needs in the Second Session of the 107th
Congress. In addition, we will assess the manner in which our
FY 2003 Budget will address further needs as they relate to the
September 11th terrorist attacks.
The details of these actions 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,
George W. Bush.
Enclosure.
[Estimate No. 19, 107th Cong., 1st Sess.]
Executive Office of the President,
Office of Management and Budget,
Washington, DC, October 16, 2001.
The President,
The White House.
Submitted for your consideration are emergency funding
requests, totaling $20.0 billion, for various Federal
Departments and agencies, as well as the Legislative and
Judicial Branches. Also included are several language
proposals, including legislation for the Department of Defense,
the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Small
Business Administration.
P.L. 107-38, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act
for Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the
United States, FY 2001, provided $40.0 billion to the Emergency
Response Fund in the Executive Office of the President. The Act
provides that $10 billion would be available without any
further congressional action. Of that amount, you have made
available to date a total of $7.2 billion. In addition, P.L.
107-38 included $10.0 billion that would be available 15 days
after OMB has submitted proposal allocations to the House and
Senate Committee on Appropriations. The $20.0 billion proposed
for your consideration today would not be available for
obligation until enactment in a subsequent emergency
appropriations bill.
The $40 billion in emergency expenses enacted in P.L. 107-
38 was provided to assist victims of the attacks and to deal
with other consequences of the attacks, including the costs of:
(1) providing Federal, State, and local preparedness for
mitigating and responding to the attacks; (2) providing support
to counter, investigate, or prosecute domestic or international
terrorism; (3) providing increased transportation security; (4)
repairing public facilities and transportation systems damaged
by the attacks; and (5) supporting national security. Further,
pursuant to the Act, not less than one half of the $40 billion
is to be ``disaster recovery activities and assistance related
to the terrorist attacks in New York, Virginia, and
Pennsylvania.''
The requests in this transmittal follow an extensive review
of individual agency proposals to identify those requirements
that are immediate and near-term. The current proposals support
identified requirements and represent the crucial initial steps
toward recovery. We will not seek additional supplemental
funding for either domestic or defense needs for the remainder
of this session of Congress. If further requirements become
clear, we will work with the Congress on additional needs that
may arise during the Second Session of the 107th Congress.
As described below and in more detail in the enclosures,
the requests include the following:
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
The funding proposed for USDA would support: enhanced
security for USDA facilities ($17.2 million); design and
construction of a facility in Ames, Iowa to store and conduct
research on biohazards material ($14.1 million); technical
assistance to State, local, Federal, and private sector
entities to improve the identification and response to a
bioterrorist attack ($5.0 million); and training to improve
response to food supply threats, implement countermeasures,
improve data collection and dissemination, and other
bioterrorism protection activities ($8.9 million).
Department of Commerce (DOC)
The $26.9 million in funding proposed for DOC would largely
be used for emergency grants to assist public broadcasters in
restoring facilities and capabilities that were destroyed in
the collapse of the World Trade Center towers and to support
departmental security enhancements, both at home and abroad.
Department of Defense (DOD)
A total of $7.4 billion is now requested to support DOD's
crisis and recovery operations and national security
responsibilities. These resources include: $2,938.0 million for
increased worldwide posture; $1,735.0 million for increased
situational awareness; $925.0 million for repair and upgrade of
the Pentagon: $881.0 million for enhanced force protection;
$545.0 million for offensive counterterrorism; $219.0 million
for improved command and control; and $106.0 million for
initial crisis response.
Department of Education
This proposal would provide $10.0 million to enable the
Department of Education to provide crisis recovery services in
New York and other jurisdictions for students, educators, and
their families under the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and
Communities National Programs Project SERV (School Emergency
Response to Violence).
Department of Energy (DOE)
Of the $117.7 million requested for DOE, $106.0 million
would be used to improve the security of the Nation's nuclear
stockpile and infrastructure, including $91.0 million for
additional on-site security measures and plant reconfiguration
at defense-related national laboratories and production plants
and $15.0 million for additional transportation safeguards and
security to protect and prevent sabotage of stockpile
components and material while in transit.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
An additional $1.6 billion is proposed for HHS' Public
Health and Social Services Emergency Fund. These emergency
resources include expenses necessary to support activities
related to countering potential biological, diseases, and
chemical threats to civilian populations.Among the funds now
requested, $643.6 million would be used to acquire medicines, supplies,
and equipment for the National Pharmaceutical Stockpile to treat an
additional 10 million persons exposed to anthrax and other bacterial
infections, as well as providing an enhanced ability to treat victims
of chemical attacks; $509.0 million would be used to accelerate
production of the smallpox vaccine; and $61.0 million to enhance the
frequency and quality of imported food inspections, and modernize the
import data system.
Department of the Interior (DOI)
A total of $85.5 million is proposed for DOI largely to
increase security and enhance preparedness for attacks against:
key national park sites ($53.0 million); Bureau of Reclamation
dams, power plants, and other critical facilities ($30.3
million); and DOI headquarters buildings ($2.2 million).
Department of Justice (DOJ)
A total of $1.1 billion is now requested to support DOJ's
responsibilities arising from the September 11th terrorist
attacks. The funds include: $538.5 million for extraordinary
expenses incurred by the Federal Bureau of Investigation;
$399.4 million for operations of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service; $101.7 million for U.S. Attorneys, U.S.

the Special Master; $68.1 million for the Office for Victims of
Crime; and $4.4 million for a grant to the Utah Olympic Public
Safety Command for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Department of Labor (DOL)
The funding proposed for DOL would provide $2.0 billion for
National Emergency Grants, authorized under section 173 of the
Workforce Investment Act, to States to assist workers who were
dislocated by the attacks of September 11, 2001. The
Administration will request an additional $1.0 billion for the
National Emergency Grants with the FY 2003 Budget submission.
Grants may provide employment and training assistance,
including assistance in paying to continue health coverage to
dislocated workers, as authorized under the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), if the Governor
certifies in the grant application to the Secretary of Labor
that the attacks of September 11th contributed importantly to
closures or layoffs. An additional $12.6 million would support
needs of various DOL bureaus in recovering from damage incurred
in the attacks in New York, as well as other security measures.
Department of Transportation (DOT)
Of the $733.5 million now requested for DOT, $408.5 million
is proposed for the Federal Aviation Administration to fund
upgrades to airplane cockpit security and permit the
accelerated purchase of planned security equipment for airport
baggage and passenger screening; $203.0 million is proposed for
the Coast Guard to fund reservists activated to support
national defense and homeland security functions, and increased
port security; $85.0 million is proposed for the Federal
Highway Administration, including funding that would fund
repairs and reconstruction of Federal-aid highways, which were
damaged or destroyed by the collapse of the World Trade Center
buildings; $23.5 million is proposed for the Federal Transit
Administration, including funds to replace buses and transit
kiosks that were destroyed by the collapse of the World Trade
Center; and $13.5 million for rail and other security-related
measures.
Department of the Treasury
The $315.2 million in funding proposed for the Treasury
Department would provide: $114.2 million for the Customs
Service to improve and expand airport and aviation security as
well as increase efforts of inspectors at high-risk seaports
and land borders; $104.8 million for the Secret Service to fund
necessary, additional expenses incurred due to the attacks, and
$96.2 million for other Treasury Department emergency expenses,
including $37.2 million for the Internal Revenue Service to
replace damaged equipment in their New York offices.
Corps of Engineers
An additional $139.0 million is requested to support
increased security at over 300 critical Army Corps of Engineers
owned and operated infrastructure facilities (e.g., dams and
navigation facilities), including enhanced physical security
and facility vulnerability assessments to determine further
facility security needs.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
A total of $76.0 million is proposed for EPA and would
support activities such as drinking water assessments,
replacement of equipment destroyed in New York and various
security enhancements.
Executive Office of the President
This proposed would provide $50.0 million to enable the
Executive Office of the President to meet additional
requirements in response to the September 11th terrorist
attacks and to ensure the continuity of support and services to
the President and Vice President of the United States.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
Of the $5.5 billion now requested for FEMA, $4.9 billion
would support additional disaster reliefs in New Jersey, New
York, and Virginia, and would be used to help individual
victims, remove debris from the World Trade Center site, and
assist in the rebuilding of critical public infrastructure. An
additional $0.6 billion would enable FEMA to provide equipment
and training grants to States and localities to improve
terrorism and chemical-biological response capabilities, as
well as support the Office of National Preparedness in its
efforts to improve terrorism preparedness coordination and
liaison between Federal, State, and local governments.
General Services Administration
A total of $200.5 million is requested for the Federal
Buildings Fund to increase security services nationwide at
Federal buildings, for replacement space costs in New York
City, for additional security equipment nationwide, and other
security costs.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
An additional $93.1 million is proposed for NASA in order
to maintain a heightened state of security at 10 field centers
and at NASA headquarters in FY 2002. These funds will provide
resources for the costs of: additional security personnel and
overtime compensation; modifications to security perimeters;
construction of additional checkpoints; additional security
monitoring and communications equipment; relocation of critical
functions and personnel; and increased air and sea patrols at
the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Small Business Administration (SBA)
This proposal would provide $150.0 million for SBA's
disaster loan program to support $600.0 million in low interest
loans to businesses impacted by the terrorist attacks. In an
accompanying request in this transmittal, the Administration
proposes to raise the $1.5 million aggregate cap on loans to a
single borrower to $10.0 million for businesses directly
impacted by the disasters in New York, Virginia, and
Pennsylvania. In addition, the Administration would allow non-
profit organizations and non-depository financial companies to
receive economic injury loans from SBA.
Other Agencies
For costs associated with reconstruction of offices
destroyed during the attacks, increased security measures, and
certain investigative activities, the following amounts are
requested: $1.0 million for the Department of Housing and Urban
Development; $2.0 million for the Department of Veterans
Affairs; $0.3 million for the National Science Foundation; $7.5
million for the Social Security Administration; $6.5 million
for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; $25.0 million for
the District of Columbia; $1.3 million for the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission; $7.0 million for the National Archives
and Records Administration; $0.8 million for the National
Capital Planning Commission; $0.2 million for the National
Labor Relations Board; $0.8 million for the National
Transportation Safety Board; $20.7 million for the Securities
and Exchange Commission; and $28.2 million for the Smithsonian
Institution, including the John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts and the National Gallery of Art.
Legislative Branch
This proposal would provide $256.1 million to the
Legislative Branch to enhance the security posture of the
Capitol Hill complex, the Government Printing Office, and the
General Accounting Office, and to perform actions that can be
taken to reduce the risk and potential damage to life and
property caused by future terrorist events.
Judicial Branch
Of the $31.5 million proposed for the Judicial Branch,
$17.5 million would cover the costs of additional court
security officer hours; $10.0 million would be used to enhance
the security posture of the Supreme Court building; and $4.0
million would support a Supervisory Deputy Marshal responsible
for coordinating security in each judicial district and
circuit.
I have carefully reviewed these proposals and am satisfied
that they are necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the
heads of the affected Departments and agencies in recommending
that you transmit the proposals to the Congress. In addition, I
recommend that you designate the funds in the individual
proposals enclosed as emergency funding requirements pursuant
to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency
Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended. In addition, I
recommend that you designate the funds in or credited to the
Defense Cooperation Account during FY 2002 as emergency
requirements pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of such Act.
Sincerely,
Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr.,
Director.

DEFENSE EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND
For emergency expenses to respond to the September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks on the United States, for ``Defense Emergency
Response Fund,'' $7,045,969,000, to remain available until
expended, to be obligated from amounts made available in Public
Law 107-38.
This proposal would support the following items:
Increased Worldwide Posture ($2,938,000,000): These
resources would fund necessary preparations for, and conduct
of, military response to the September 11, 2001 attacks and the
heightened threat environment. Costs include mobilization of
Reserve Forces, movement of pre-positioned stocks, purchase of
high-priority spare parts and medical stocks that are in short
supply, rebuild of major combat systems to fill current Active
and Reserve unit shortages, and purchase of critical ammunition
to bring stocks required levels. Costs identified cover
initial, limited contingency and humanitarian operations.
Increased Situational Awareness ($1,432,000,000): These
funds will support ongoing military operations and enhance U.S.
intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance, and targeting
capabilities against terrorist organizations.
Enhanced Force Protection ($880,969,000): These resources
would fund actions taken to better protect military personnel
and facilities against terrorist attacks based on vulnerability
assessments. These force protection activities include improved
security, access control, training, chemical-biological
detection and consequence management, and antiterrorism
countermeasures.
Pentagon Repair/Upgrade ($925,000,000): These resources
would be used to repair the damage that resulted from the
September 11th attack on the Pentagon. This includes structural
repairs required to make the building safe, exterior repairs,
and repairs to interior fire and water damage. Also funded is
the costs of equipment replacement damaged in the attack,
relocation and lease costs for displaced employees, and
additional antiterrorism enhancements to the Pentagon.
Offensive Counterterrorism ($545,000,000): These funds
would be used primarily to procure munitions in order to
increase production rates. Funds in this category will position
U.S. military forces to sustain counterterrorism efforts into
the future.
Improved Command and Control ($219,000,000): These funds
would support, upgrade, and enhance U.S. communications
capabilities to provide for more robust command and control.
Such efforts include replacing communications equipment lost in
the attacks, increasing network security, procuring additional
communications gear, and enhancing overall network reliability
and connectivity.
Initial Crisis Response ($106,000,000): These funds are
required to respond to the initial crises in New York,
Virginia, and Pennsylvania and to manage the immediate
consequences of these events. This includes the cost of flying
air patrols and deploying aircraft carriers to protect New York
City and Washington, D.C. In addition, this response funds
military support for disaster relief, including increasing
security at the Pentagon, mortuary services, and support to the
Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Procurement
OTHER PROCUREMENT, AIR FORCE
For emergency expenses to respond to the September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks on the United States, for ``Other
Procurement, Air Force,'' $303,000,000, to remain available

Public Law 107-38.
This proposal would support increased situational
awareness.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
General Provisions
Sec. . Amounts available in the ``Defense Emergency
Response Fund'' shall be available for the purposes set forth
in the 2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for
Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United
States (Public Law 107-38): Provided, That the Fund may be used
to reimburse other appropriations or funds of the Department of
Defense only for costs incurred for such purposes between
September 11 and December 31, 2001: Provided further, That such
Fund may be used to liquidate obligations incurred by the
Department under the authorities in 41 U.S.C. 11 for any costs
incurred for such purposes between September 11 and September
30, 2001: Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense may
transfer to the Fund amounts from any other current
appropriation, to be available for the same purposes as the
Fund: Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense may
transfer funds from the Fund to the appropriation, ``Support
for International Sporting Competitions, Defense,'' to be
merged with, and available for the same time period and for the
same purposes as that appropriation: Provided further, That the
transfer authority provided by this section is in addition to
any other transfer authority available to the Secretary of
Defense: Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense shall
report to the Congress quarterly all transfers made pursuant to
this authority.
This proposal would clarify that amounts appropriated to
the President's Emergency Response Fund by P.L. 107-38, the
2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery
from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States
(``the Act'') and transferred to the Defense Emergency Response
Fund are available for the purposes set forth in that Act.
Further, this proposal would give the Department of Defense
(DOD) the necessary flexibility to reimburse DOD appropriations
for those costs incurred for the purposes of the Act beginning
on September 11, 2001 and ending December 31, 2001.
Funds reimbursed to other DOD accounts would have the same
term of availability as the funds originally obligated from
those accounts. Also, to address situations where the cost to
complete a project commenced with funds from the Defense
Emergency Response Fund may exceed amounts available in the
Fund, additional amounts may be transferred to the Fund from
other DOD funds or appropriations. Authority is also provided
to the Secretary to transfer funds to the appropriation,
``Support for International Sporting Competitions, Defense.''
The Department will report to the Congress quarterly all
transfers made pursuant to this authority.
Sec. . Amounts made available to the Department of Defense
from funds appropriated in Public Law 107-38 and this Act may
be used to carry out military construction projects, not
otherwise authorized by law, that the Secretary of Defense
determines are necessary to respond to or protect against acts
or threatened acts of terrorism: Provided, That the Secretary
shall notify the appropriate committees of Congress of his
determination and the estimated cost of each such project.
The proposed language would authorize DOD to use funds made
available pursuant to P.L. 107-38 to fund military construction
projects, not otherwise authorized by law, that are undertaken
to respond to or protect against terrorist activity.
Sec. . During the current fiscal year, amounts in or
credited to the Defense Cooperation Account under 10 U.S.C.
2608(b) shall be available for the purposes for which such
amounts were contributed and accepted: Provided, That these
amounts are designated by the Congress as an emergency
requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended:
Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense shall report to
the Congress quarterly all obligations made pursuant to this
authority.
Under current law, funds contributed to DOD and deposited
into the Defense Cooperation Account are not available for
obligation and expenditure except to the extent provided in
subsequent appropriations Acts. The proposed language will
permit the Department to use such contributions during the
current fiscal year. Further, these funds have been designated
by the President as emergency requirements pursuant to the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as
amended. The Department will also report to the Congress
quarterly all obligations made pursuant to this authority.
Sec. . Amounts in the ``Support for International Sporting
Competitions, Defense,'' may be used to support essential
security and safety for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt
Lake City, Utah, without the certification required under
subsection 10 U.S.C. 2564(a). Further, the term ``active
duty,'' in section 5802 of Public Law 104-208 shall include
State active duty and full-time National Guard duty performed
by members of the Army National Guard and Air National Guard in
connection with providing essential security and safety support
to the 2002 Winter Olympic Games and logistical and security
support to the 2002 Paralympic Games.
This proposal would temporarily waive the requirement to
obtain Attorney General certification that DOD assistance to
the 2002 Winter Olympic Games is necessary to meet essential
security and safety needs. All support categories currently
requested and approved for that event has already been
certified by the Attorney General. The waiver would allow for a
quick response to unforeseen requests that may come in shortly
before or during the games. All such requests would be
determined to be in support of essential security and safety by
the United States Secret Service because the 2002 Winter
Olympic Games has been designated as a special event of
national significance by the President.
This proposal would also authorize the use of the funds in
the account to reimburse a State or the appropriate Federal
military pay account for pay and allowances paid to a member of
the Army National Guard or Air National Guard while performing
State active duty or full-time National Guard duty in an
essential security augmentation role that could not be
accomplished by civilian law enforcement agencies and would
otherwise be inappropriate for active duty personnel in Federal
status because of the prohibition of section 1385 of title 18,
United States Code (Posse Comitatus Act). Currently, the
account may only be used for the pay and non-travel allowances
of members of the reserve components serving in an active duty
status under title 10, United States Code.
Sec. . Funds appropriated by this Act, or made available
by the transfer of funds in this Act, for intelligence
activities are deemed to be specifically authorized by the
Congress for purposes of section 504 of the National Security
Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 414).

COURT SECURITY
For emergency expenses to respond to the September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks on the United States, for ``Court Security,''
$21,500,000, to remain available until expended, to be
obligated from amounts made available in Public Law 107-38, of
which $4,000,000 shall be available to reimburse the United
States Marshalls Service for a Supervisory Deputy Marshal
responsible for coordinating security in each judicial district
and circuit: Provided, That the funds may be expended directly
or transferred to the United States Marshals Service.
This proposal would provide $21.5 million for heightened
security in courthouses, including $17.5 million for the costs
of additional court security officers to maintain enhanced
perimeter patrols and extend the hours of coverage for the
second half of FY 2002. The additional $4.0 million would
reimburse the United States Marshals Service for six months
funding for 106 supervisory deputy marshals responsible for
coordinating security in each of the 94 judicial districts and
the 12 judicial circuits. A full-time supervisor for court
security is needed at the local level to coordinate protection
of judges both on and off site, oversee the courthouse security
program, and ensure that emergency response procedures for
chemical/biological, terrorist or other attacks are in place.
