A REQUEST FOR 2004 SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR ONGOING MILITARY AND 
      INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS IN IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, AND ELSEWHERE

[GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]


 September 22, 2003.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and 
                         ordered to be printed
                                           The White House,
                                    Washington, September 17, 2003.
Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: Two years ago, we responded to attacks on 
America by launching a global war against terrorism that has 
removed gathering threats to America and our allies and has 
liberated the Iraqi and Afghan people from oppression and fear.
    America is making steady progress in the war on terror. 
Nearly two-thirds of al Qaeda's leadership has been captured or 
killed. In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban from power and 
shut down terrorist training camps. In Iraq, we led a coalition 
that removed a dangerous tyrant who sponsored terror, possessed 
and used weapons of mass destruction, and for 12 years defied 
the clear demands of the United Nations Security Council.
    Today, I am submitting a request for 2004 supplemental 
appropriations for ongoing military and intelligence operations 
in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. Our men and women in 
uniform, alongside our coalition partners, are bringing peace 
and stability to Iraq and fighting the terrorist threat. In 
Afghanistan, our Armed Forces continue to track down terrorists 
and provide security as the Afghan people rebuild their nation. 
Our commitment to ongoing operations against terrorism is 
worthy of our country and critical to our security.
    My request also supports the Coalition Provisional 
Authority's reconstruction operations in Iraq and supports 
reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan. These reconstruction 
funds are essential to secure the transition to self-government 
and to create conditions for economic growth and investment. By 
helping the Iraqi and Afghan people build free and democratic 
nations, America and our allies are bringing freedom and hope 
to a troubled region, and undermining a key base of operations 
for terrorists. The sooner we achieve these conditions, the 
sooner our troops will return home.
    This request reflects urgent and essential requirements. I 
ask the Congress to appropriate the funds as requested, and 
promptly return the bill to me for signature. I hereby 
designate the specific proposals in the amounts requested 
herein as emergency requirements. I urge the Congress not to 
attach items that are not directly related to the emergency 
abroad.
    The details of the request are set forth in the enclosed 
letter from the Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget.
             Sincerely,
                                                    George W. Bush.
               [Estimate No. 17, 108th Cong., 1st Sess.]

                 Executive Office of the President,
                           Office of Management and Budget,
                                Washington, DC, September 17, 2003.
The President,
The White House.
    Submitted for your consideration is a request for FY 2004 
supplemental appropriations totaling $87 billion that primarily 
funds ongoing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, as 
well as relief and reconstruction activities in those 
countries.
    These funds will be used to help secure the transition to 
democracy in both Iraq and Afghanistan while creating 
conditions for economic investment and growth in both 
countries. To achieve these objectives and thereby enhance 
security in the United States, the request for supplemental 
funds includes:
Department of Defense and Classified Activities--$65.6 Billion
     This request provides approximately $51 billion 
for Operation Iraqi Freedom and $11 billion for Operation 
Enduring Freedom. Approximately $4 billion covers costs 
associated with Operation Noble Eagle and support for our 
allies in the war on terror.
     The two major military cost items are increased 
operational tempo at approximately $32 billion and military 
personnel costs at approximately $18 billion. Military 
construction, procurement of equipment, maintenance, military 
health care support, and classified activities (described in 
separate materials) account for $13 billion.
Coalition Provisional Authority and Department of State--$21.4 Billion
     This request provides $20.3 billion for the Iraq 
Relief and Reconstruction Fund for use by the Coalition 
Provisional Authority (CPA). The CPA plans to spend $5.1 
billion to enhance security, including: border enforcement; 
building a national police service; standing up a new Iraqi 
Army; and reforming the justice system. CPA also plans to spend 
$5.7 billion to provide basic electricity services, $3.7 
billion to provide basic water and sewer services, and $2.1 
billion to rehabilitate Iraq's oil infrastructure. These 
resources are essential to help create the conditions that will 
allow U.S. troops to return home.
     The request includes $800 million for pressing 
security and reconstruction needs in Afghanistan, including 
building the Afghan National Army and continuing construction 
to complete the road from Kabul to Herat.
     The request also includes $140 million for State 
Department operations, which provide secure temporary State 
Department facilities in Iraq and ensures that funds are 
available to pay rewards in the war on terror.
    All the requests in the transmittal are for the purpose of 
fulfilling known and urgent requirements that cannot reasonably 
be met through the use of existing agency funds. I recommend 
that you designate the specific proposals contained in this 
transmittal as emergency requirements.
    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 
you transmit the proposals to the Congress.
            Sincerely,
                                          Joshua B. Bolten,
                                                          Director.
    Enclosures.

Assistance, and Civic Aid; procurement; military construction; 
the Defense Health Program; and working capital funds: Provided 
further, That funds transferred shall be merged with and be 
available for the same purposes and for the same time period as 
the appropriation or fund to which transferred: Provided 
further, That this transfer authority is in addition to any 
other transfer authority available to the Department of 
Defense: Provided further, That upon a determination that all 
or part of the funds transferred from this appropriation are 
not necessary for the purposes provided herein, such amounts 
may be transferred back to this appropriation: Provided 
further, That the Secretary of Defense shall, not fewer than 5 
days prior to making transfers from this appropriation, notify 
the congressional defense committees of any such transfer: 
Provided further, That the Secretary shall submit a report no 
later than 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter to the 
congressional defense committees summarizing the details of the 
transfer of funds from this appropriation.
    This supplemental request would fund personnel, personnel 
support, operation support, coalition support, and other costs 
in support of post-war operations, primarily in Iraq and 
Afghanistan. The use of a transfer account is necessary due to 
the dynamic nature of these operations. Appropriating the 
funding in the Iraqi Freedom Fund (IFF), with its own transfer 
authority, provides the flexibility needed to allocate funding 
to those components that are actually incurring costs. It is an 
important financing mechanism needed to help the Department 
address the unpredictable scope, duration, and intensity of 
these military operations. These funds would be held in the IFF 
pending transfer to the components.
    Within the total IFF request, funds would be available for 
supplies, services, transportation, and other logistical 
support to one multinational division of ground troops 
supporting military and stability operations in Iraq.
    Funding is also provided for personnel, personnel support, 
and post-war operation support costs for two Army National 
Guard Enhanced Separate Brigades and one Marine Expeditionary 
Force (MEF) that are planned for deployment only if the 
multinational divisions are not ready to deploy or the changes 
in the security situations require the presence of these U.S. 
forces.

                         DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE


                           General Provisions

    Sec.     . Section 202(b) of the Afghanistan Freedom 
Support Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-327) is amended by striking 
``$300,000,000'' and inserting ``$600,000,000''.
    This provision would allow the Department of Defense to 
draw down an additional $300 million under the Afghanistan 
Freedom Support Act of 2002. This drawdown is necessary to 
support requirements for training and equipping the Afghan 
National Army (ANA) and accelerating the pace of that training 
so that the ANA can take an increasingly larger role in the 
fight against terrorism.
    Sec.     . Upon his determination that such action is 
necessary in the national interest, the Secretary of Defense 
may transfer between appropriations up to $5,000,000,000 of the 
funds made available in this title: Provided, That the 
Secretary shall notify the Congress promptly of each transfer 
made pursuant to this authority: Provided further, That the 
transfer authority provided in this section is in addition to 
any other transfer authority available to the Department of 
Defense: Provided further, That the authority in this section 
is subject to the same terms and conditions as the authority 
provided in section 8005 of the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 2004.
    This provision would provide the Department with needed 
flexibility by allowing up to $5 billion of the funds 
appropriated in this act to be transferred between accounts. 
The Secretary of Defense will notify the Congress not more than 
five days after such transfers, and this transfer authority 
will be in addition to any other transfer authority provided 
the Department. The reference to section 8005 of the Department 
of Defense Appropriations Act, 2004 assumes that the provision 
included as section 8005 in both the House-passed H.R. 2658 of 
the 108th Congress and the Senate Amendment thereto will be 
contained in the Act as ultimately enacted.
    Sec.     . (a) Transfer Authority.--Subject to subsection 
(b), the Secretary of Defense may transfer not more than 
$500,000,000 of the funds appropriated in this title to the 
contingency construction account, authorized under section 2804 
of title 10, United States Code, to carry out military 
construction projects not otherwise authorized by law. Funds so 
transferred shall be merged with and be available for the same 
purposes and the same time period as the appropriation to which 
transferred. The transfer authority under this section is in 
addition to any other transfer authority available to the 
Department of Defense.
    (b) Conditions on Transfer.--A transfer of funds under 
subsection (a) may not be made until the end of the 7-day 
period beginning on the date the Secretary of Defense submits 
notice to the appropriate committees of Congress certifying 
that the transfer is necessary to respond to, or protect 
against, acts or threatened acts of terrorism or to support 
Department of Defense operations in Iraq, and specifying the 
amounts and purposes of the transfer, including a list of 
proposed projects and their estimated costs.
    (c) Notice of Obligations.--Notwithstanding section 2804(b) 
of title 10, United States Code, when a decision is made to 
carry out a military construction project using funds 
transferred to the contingency construction account under 
subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall notify the 
appropriate committees of Congress no later than 15 days after 
the obligation of the funds for the project, specifying the 
estimated cost of the project and including form 1391.
    (d) Definitions.--For purposes of this section, the terms 
``appropriate committees of Congress'', ``military 
construction'', and ``military installation'' have the meanings 
given such terms in section 2801 of title 10, United States 
Code, except that, with respect to military construction in a 
foreign country, the term ``military installation'' includes 
not only buildings, structures, and other improvements to real 
property under the operational control of the Secretary of a 
military department or the Secretary of Defense, but also any 
building, structure, or other improvement to real property to 
be used by the Armed Forces, regardless of whether such use is 
anticipated to be temporary or of longer duration.
    This section would allow the Secretary of Defense to 
transfer up to $500 million from funds appropriated in this 
Title to the contingency construction account to fund military 
construction projects not otherwise authorized. This provision 
requires the Secretary to notify the appropriate committees in 
Congress seven days prior to making the transfer. Moreover, the 
Secretary must notify the appropriate committees in Congress no 
later than 15 days after the obligation of funds for the 
project and provide the estimated cost of the project and the 
form 1391 notification and explanation. This authority is 
necessary for the Secretary to carry out urgent projects in 
support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, 
and Operation Noble Eagle.
    Sec.     . Funds appropriated in this title, or made 
available by the transfer of funds in or pursuant to this 
title, 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).
    This section would provide that funds appropriated in 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).
    Sec.     . During fiscal year 2004, the Secretary of 
Defense may transfer amounts in or credited to the Defense 
Cooperation Account under section 2608(b) of title 10, United 
States Code, to such appropriations or funds of the Department 
of Defense as he shall determine for use consistent with the 
purposes for which such funds were contributed and accepted: 
Provided, That such amounts shall be available for the same 
time period as the appropriation to which transferred: Provided 
further, That the Secretary shall report to the Congress all 
transfers made pursuant to this authority.
    Pursuant to the statute establishing the Defense 
Cooperation Account (10 U.S.C. 2608) funds in the Defense 
Cooperation Account may be obligated or expended only to the 
extent and in the manner provided in subsequent appropriations 
Acts. This proposal would provide the necessary appropriation 
for the remainder of the fiscal year.
    Sec.    . Sections 1318 and 1319 of Public Law 108-11 shall 
remain in effect during fiscal year 2004.
    This provision would augment existing authority regarding 
travel and transportation allowances for family members of 
members of the Armed Forces who are ill or injured as a result 
of service on active duty in support of Operation Iraqi 
Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, or Operation Noble Eagle. 
In addition to the existing transportation benefit, this 
provision authorizes the payment of per diem to family members 
traveling to and from hospital visits and while at the site 
during visits. This provision also would authorize the 
Department to provide civilian attire suitable for wear by the 
member during their hospital stay and travel to home station as 
long as the cost to the government does not exceed $250.
    Sec.    . From October 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003, 
(a) the rates of pay authorized by section 310(a) of title 37, 
United States Code, shall be increased to $225; and (b) the 
rates of pay authorized by section 427(a)(1) of title 37, 
United States Code, shall be increased to $250.
    This provision would sustain the increase in the statutory 
maximum payable for Imminent Danger pay from $150 to $225 per 
month, and for Family Separation Allowance from $100 to $250 
from October 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003.
    Sec.    . Increase in the maximum monthly rate for hardship 
duty pay.
    (a) Section 305(a) of title 37, United States Code, is 
amended by striking out ``$300'' and inserting in lieu thereof 
``$600''.
    (b) Effective Date: The amendment made by subsection (a) 
shall take effect on January 1, 2004.
    This provision would increase the statutory maximum payable 
for Hardship Duty Pay from $300 to $600 per month from January 
1, 2004, until September 30, 2004.
    Sec.    . (a) Section 1313 of Public Law 108-11 is amended 
by adding the word, ``unobligated,'' before ``balances''.
    (b) After October 31, 2003, adjustments to obligations that 
would have been properly chargeable to the Defense Emergency 
Response Fund shall be charged to any current appropriation 
account of the Department of Defense available for the same 
purpose.
    This provision would allow approved currently available 
appropriations to be available to make within scope accounting 
adjustments. The Defense Emergency Response Fund currently has 
no legal provision to make further accounting adjustments after 
it closes on October 31, 2003.
    Sec.    . During the current year, funds available to the 
Department of Defense for operation and maintenance may be 
used, notwithstanding any other provision of law, to provide 
supplies, services, transportation, including airlift and 
sealift, and other logistical support to coalition forces 
supporting military and stability operations in Iraq: Provided, 
That the Secretary of Defense shall provide quarterly reports 
to the Committees on Appropriations regarding support provided 
under this section.
    This provision would allow the Department to use funds for 
supplies, services, transportation, and other logistical 
support of troops supporting military and stability operations 
in Iraq.
    Sec.    . Notwithstanding any other provision of law, from 
funds available to the Department of Defense for operation and 
maintenance in fiscal year 2004, not to exceed $200,000,000 may 
be used by the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of 
the Secretary of State, to provide assistance to military 
forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other friendly nearby regional 
nations to enhance their capability to combat terrorism and to 
support U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan: 
Provided, That such assistance may include the provision of 
equipment, supplies, services, training, and funding: Provided 
further, That the authority to provide assistance under this 
section is in addition to any other authority to provide 
assistance to foreign nations: Provided further, That the 
Secretary of Defense shall notify Congress not less than 7 days 
before providing assistance under the authority of this 
section.
    This provision would allow the Department to provide 
training and equipment to those forces serving alongside or in 
place of U.S. military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, 
including the New Iraqi Army, and to friendly nations fighting 
terrorism in the nearby region.
                                ------

    For an additional amount for ``Diplomatic and Consular 
Programs,'' $40,500,000: Provided, That of the amounts provided 
under this heading in Public Law 108-11, $35,800,000 shall 
remain available until expended.
    This request would provide $40.5 million for Diplomatic and 
Consular Programs for essential security and border-security 
related operations and programs, including additional security 
in Afghanistan and funding to continue consular operations in 
the event of a shortfall in income from machine readable visa 
fees. This request would also extend the availability of 
amounts previously appropriated in the Emergency Wartime 
Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-11) for the 
initial setup and operating costs for the re-establishment of a 
diplomatic presence in Iraq and related security costs.
                                ------                                


                          DEPARTMENT OF STATE


                   Administration of Foreign Affairs


            EMBASSY SECURITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE

    For an additional amount for ``Embassy Security, 
Construction, and Maintenance,'' $60,500,000, to remain 
available until expended.
    This request would provide $60.5 million for the Embassy 
Security, Construction, and Maintenance account. These funds 
are essential to provide safe and secure temporary facilities 
in Iraq.
                                ------

    For an additional amount for ``Emergencies in the 
Diplomatic and Consular Service,'' $50,000,000, to remain 
available until expended.
    This request would provide $50 million for the Emergencies 
in the Diplomatic and Consular Service account to ensure that 
sufficient funds are available to pay rewards, including 
rewards up to $25 million offered for Osama bin Laden and 
Saddam Hussein.
                                ------                                


                          DEPARTMENT OF STATE

          INTERNATIONAL NARCOTICS CONTROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

    For an additional amount for ``International Narcotics 
Control and Law Enforcement,'' $120,000,000, to remain 
available until September 30, 2004, for accelerated assistance 
for Afghanistan.
    Of this amount, $110 million would be used in Afghanistan 
to train, equip, and deploy additional police, including Afghan 
National Police, Border Police, and Highway Patrol. The funds 
would also be used to increase counter-narcotics law 
enforcement capacity and to provide security for the 2004 
elections. In addition, $10 million would support training of 
prosecutors and judges in Afghanistan and provide the judicial 
sector with needed infrastructure (e.g., counthouses, legal 
offices), supplies, and equipment.
                                ------                                


                  OTHER BILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE


                  Funds Appropriated to the President


                  IRAQ RELIEF AND RECONSTRUCTION FUND

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    For necessary expenses for security, rehabilitation and 
reconstruction in Iraq, $20,304,000,000, to remain available 
until expended, to be allocated as follows: $5,136,000,000 for 
security, including public safety requirements, national 
security, and justice; $5,675,000,000 for the electric sector; 
$2,100,000,000 for oil infrastructure; $3,710,000,000 for

for transportation and telecommunications; $470,000,000 for 
housing and construction; $850,000,000 for health; $353,000,000 
for private sector development; and $300,000,000 for refugees, 
human rights, democracy, and civil society: Provided, That the 
President may reallocate funds provided under this heading: 
Provided further, That these funds may be transferred to any 
Federal account for any Federal Government activity to 
accomplish the purposes provided herein: Provided further, That 
upon a determination that all or part of the funds so 
transferred from this appropriation are not necessary for the 
purposes provided herein, such amounts may be transferred back 
to this appropriation: Provided further, That contributions of 
funds for the purposes provided herein from any person, foreign 
government, or international organization, may be credited to 
this Fund and used for such purposes.
    This request would provide $20,304 million for security, 
rehabilitation and reconstruction in Iraq as follows:
      $5,136 million for security, including training 
and equipping border enforcement, police, fire, and customs 
personnel; standing up the New Iraqi Army and a Civil Defense 
Corps; and developing civil society and the justice sector.
      $5,675 million for the rehabilitation and 
construction of new electric generating capacity and 
transmission and distribution networks.
      $2,100 million for investment in oil 
infrastructure and purchase of oil products.
      $3,710 million for public works, including

                                ------                                


                   INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS


                   International Security Assistance


                         ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND

    For an additional amount for ``Economic Support Fund,'' 
$422,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2004, for 
accelerated assistance for Afghanistan: Provided, That these 
funds are available notwithstanding section 660 of the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961, and section 620(q) of that Act or any 
comparable provision of law: Provided further, That these funds 
may be used for activities related to the disarmament, 
demobilization, and reintegration of militia combatants, 
including the registration of such combatants, notwithstanding 
any other provision of law: Provided further, That not to 
exceed $200,000,000 appropriated under this heading in the 
Foreign Operations, Exporting Financing, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, 2004, may be used for the costs, as defined 
in section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, of 
modifying direct loans and guarantees for Pakistan: Provided 
further, That amounts that are made available under the 
previous proviso for the cost of modifying direct loans and 
guarantees shall not be considered ``assistance'' for purposes 
of provisions of law limiting assistance to a country.
    This request for $422 million for the Economic Support Fund 
(ESF) would provide resources to fulfill the President's 
commitment to accelerate assistance to Afghanistan in order to 
achieve tangible progress of the Afghan people in economic 
growth and democracy by June 2004. In some cases, these funds 
will augment acceleration of assistance activities already 
begun with transferred or reallocated FY 2003 funds.
    Specifically, requested funds are currently planned to 
achieve the following:
     Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration 
(DDR): $60 million would enable registration of 100,000 militia 
combatants (100 percent), and to demobilize and integrate an 
additional 13,000 militia combatants, including training, job 
placement, and other integration activities.
     Support for the Government of Afghanistan (GOA): 
$37 million would help the GOA pay its civil servants, develop 
a communications capability between Kabul and provincial 
capitals, and expand domestic revenue generation by 35 percent.
     Election and Governance: $37 million would help 
the GOA complete voter registration and successfully conduct 
free and fair elections.
     Policy Experts: $20 million would fund technical 
experts in Afghan ministries to build in-house capacity and 
improve the GOA's ability to manage accelerated reconstruction 
efforts.
     Roads: $105 million would allow work to begin 
rebuilding the Kandahar-Herat road on an accelerated basis, and 
to make significant progress on rebuilding 1,000 kilometers of 
key secondary and tertiary roads.
     Schools and Education: $40 million would 
rehabilitate or construct an additional 275 schools, and 
provide training for 10,000 additional teachers.
     Health and Clinics: $28 million would build an 
additional 150 clinics, providing access to basic health care 
to 3 million additional people.
     Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) Projects: $50 
million would allow PRTs in 16-20 provincial sites, 
particularly in the south and southeast of Afghanistan, to 
carry out small-scale local reconstruction projects that will 
provide direct and visible benefits to local populations.
     Private Sector Initiatives: $45 million would fund 
construction of 100 market centers throughout the provinces, 
reform property laws and create a land registry, complete a 
natural resources assessment to spur private sector investment, 
create a venture capital fund, and fund short-term power 
generation projects that will increase reliability of 
electricity to Kabul.
    In addition, this request would allow up to $200 million in 
ESF funds requested for Pakistan and appropriated under the FY 
2004 foreign operations, export financing, and related programs 
appropriations act to be used to provide debt reduction for 
Pakistan.
                                ------                                


                   INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS


                   International Security Assistance


                   FOREIGN MILITARY FINANCING PROGRAM

    For an additional amount for ``Foreign Military Financing 
Program,'' $222,000,000, for accelerated assistance for 
Afghanistan.
    This request would provide $222 million for the Foreign 
Military Financing program. The funds are urgently needed to 
accelerate assistance to build the new Afghanistan army and 
would be used to train, equip, and sustain the essential core 
of a multi-ethnic national army that can help to strengthen the 
central government by the June 2004 elections. In addition, the 
funds would provide for construction of training and basing 
infrastructure required to accomplish this objective. In some 
cases, these funds will augment acceleration of assistance 
activities already begun with transferred or reallocated FY 
2003 funds.
                                ------

                   International Security Assistance


                        PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS

    For an additional amount for ``Peacekeeping Operations,'' 
$50,000,000, to support the global war on terrorism.
    This request would provide $50 million for the State 
Department's Peacekeeping Operations programs to support 
additional multinational peacekeeping needs in Iraq and other 
unanticipated peacekeeping crises.
                                ------                                


                   INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS


                   International Security Assistance


        UNITED STATES EMERGENCY FUND FOR COMPLEX FOREIGN CRISES

    For necessary expenses to enable the President to respond 
to or prevent unforeseen complex foreign crises, $100,000,000, 
to remain available until expended: Provided, That these funds 
may be made available only pursuant to a determination by the 
President that it is in the national interest to furnish 
assistance on such terms and conditions as he may determine for 
such purposes, including support for peace and humanitarian 
intervention operations to prevent or respond to foreign 
territorial disputes, armed ethnic and civil conflicts that 
pose threats to regional and international peace, and acts of 
ethnic cleansing, mass killing or genocide: Provided further, 
That none of these funds shall be available to respond to 
natural disasters: Provided further, That from these funds the 
President may make allocations to Federal agencies to carry out 
the authorities provided under this heading: Provided further, 
That the President may furnish assistance under this heading 
notwithstanding any other provision of law.
    This funding would assist the President to quickly and 
effectively respond to complex foreign crises by providing 
resources that can be drawn upon at the onset of a crisis. 
Given the evolving global situation including Iraq, it is 
important to have contingent funds available to respond to 
unforeseen needs and requirements. This appropriation could be 
used to fund a range of foreign assistance activities, 
including support for peace and humanitarian intervention 
operations. Use of this appropriation would require a 
determination by the President that a complex emergency exists 
and that it is in the national interest to furnish assistance 
in response. This appropriation will not fund assistance 
activities in response to natural disasters because existing 
funding is available for that purpose.
                                ------                                


                   INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS


                   International Security Assistance


    NONPROLIFERATION, ANTI-TERRORISM, DEMINING AND RELATED PROGRAMS

    For an additional amount for ``Nonproliferation, Anti-
Terrorism, Demining and Related Programs,'' $35,000,000, for 
accelerated assistance for Afghanistan.
    This request would provide $35 million to support anti-
terrorism training programs and equipment needs in Afghanistan, 
including continuing in-country support for the protection of 
Afghan President Karzai.
                                ------                                


                   INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS


                  Agency for International Development


   OPERATING EXPENSES OF THE UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL 
                              DEVELOPMENT

    For an additional amount for ``Operating Expenses of the 
United States Agency for International Development,'' 
$40,000,000.
    This request would provide $40 million for the Operating 
Expenses of the United States Agency for International 
Development (USAID) account to help to fund additional 
operating costs for USAID, including staff, facilities, and 
security, which are associated with reconstruction and other 
assistance activities that will be administered by USAID in 
Iraq and Afghanistan.
                                ------                                


                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

    Sec.    . In addition to transfer authority otherwise 
provided in this title, any appropriation made available in 
this title may be transferred between such appropriations, to 
be available for the same purposes and the same time as the 
appropriation to which transferred: Provided, That the total 
amount transferred pursuant to this section shall not exceed 
$200,000,000.
    This provision would allow transfer among the accounts for 
which funding is requested in this Title, with a cumulative cap 
of $200 million. This would allow the President to move funds 
between accounts to provide the most effective possible aid to 
the Iraqi and Afghan people.
    Sec.    . Assistance or other financing under this title or 
any other Foreign Operations Export Financing, and Related 
Programs Appropriations Act may be provided for Iraq, 
notwithstanding any other provision of law.
    Like section 1502 of the Wartime Supplemental, this section 
would provide authority to provide assistance or other 
financing for Iraq ``notwithstanding any other provision of 
law,'' which continues to be needed to ensure that assistance 
or other financing may be provided swiftly and flexibly.
    Sec.    . Funds made available in this title are available 
notwithstanding section 10 of Public Law 91-672 and section 15 
of the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956, as 
amended.
    This provision allows the appropriations requested in this 
Title to be made available without specific authorization of 
such appropriations.
    Sec.    . Section 1503 of Public Law 108-11 is amended by:
          (1) striking the third proviso; and
          (2) rewording the last proviso as follows: ``Provided 
        further, That the authorities contained in this section 
        shall be effective beginning in fiscal year 2003 and 
        thereafter.''.
    This section strengthens existing authorities for defense 
exports under Public Law 108-11 in order to provide greater 
flexibility in accommodating evolving security needs in Iraq. 
In addition, the provision makes permanent authorities provided 
to the President in Public Law 108-11. Although the President, 
on May 7, 2003, exercised his authority under section 1503 as 
originally enacted to make inapplicable to Iraq any provisions 
of law that apply to countries that support terrorism and to 
suspend relevant provisions of the Iraq Sanctions Act, this 
amendment is necessary to ensure that the requirements of 
section 307 of the Foreign Assistance Act to withhold the U.S. 
proportionate share of contributions to international 
organizations that have programs in Iraq and provisions of law 
directing voting against or opposing programs (which are the 
subject of the fourth and fifth provisos of section 1503) shall 
also not apply with respect to Iraq after September 30, 2004, 
the date specified in section 1503. (This proposal is without 
prejudice to the long-standing Executive Branch concerns 
regarding the constitutionality of such directed voting 
provisions.) Making these provisions permanent is particularly 
important as the United States pursues long-range efforts to 
assist Iraq and marshal resources from the international 
community.
    Sec.    . Public Law 107-57 is amended--
          (1) in section 1(a), by striking ``2002'' wherever 
        appearing (including in the caption), and inserting in 
        lieu thereof ``2004'';
          (2) in section 3(2), by striking ``Foreign 
        Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
        Appropriations Acts, 2002, as is'' and inserting in 
        lieu thereof ``annual foreign operations, export 
        financing, and related programs appropriations Acts for 
        fiscal years 2002, 2003, and 2004, as are''; and
          (3) in section 6, by striking ``2003'' and inserting 
        in lieu thereof ``2004''.
    This section would extend key provisions of P.L. 107-57 by 
exempting Pakistan from the restrictions that would otherwise 
limit assistance to Pakistan. This provision is necessary to 
allow FY 2004 assistance to be provided to Pakistan.
    Sec.    . Nothwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
Overseas Private Investment Corporation is authorized to 
undertake any program authorized by the title IV of the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961 in Iraq.
    This section would allow Overseas Private Investment 
Corporation to provide political risk insurance, direct loans 
and guarantees in Iraq.
                                ------                                


                               TITLE III


                      GENERAL PROVISION--THIS ACT

    Sec.    . The amounts provided in this Act are designated 
by the Congress as an emergency requirement pursuant to section 
502 of H. Con. Res. 95 (108th Congress).
