REQUESTS FOR FY 2006 SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE DEPARTMENTS OF 
                DEFENSE, JUSTICE, AND HOMELAND SECURITY




May 18, 2006.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and ordered 
                             to be printed
                                           The White House,
                                          Washington, May 18, 2006.
Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: On May 15th, I outlined to the Nation a 
comprehensive immigration reform initiative with five 
objectives. As part of my first objective to secure our 
Nation's borders, I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed 
requests for an additional $1.9 billion for the Departments of 
Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security, which is in addition 
to supplemental funding requested on February 16th for the 
Global War on Terror and the consequences of Hurricane Katrina. 
This additional amount is offset by a $1.9 billion reduction in 
the amount requested on February 16th for the Department of 
Defense.
    The revised request for the Department of Homeland Security 
will support my Administration's commitment to gain full 
control of the borders through the deployment of additional 
Border Patrol agents, infrastructure, and technology (such as 
hundreds of miles of new roads, vehicle barriers, tactical 
communications, and aerial surveillance).
    The request for additional resources, coupled with 
additional legal authority from the Congress, will end the 
practice of catch and release along our southern border once 
and for all by increasing detention, transportation, and 
removal capabilities.
    The revised request for the Department of Defense will 
support the deployment, in coordination with the Governors, of 
up to 6,000 National Guard members to the southern border. 
There, they will assist the Border Patrol by operating 
surveillance systems, building infrastructure, analyzing 
intelligence, and providing training until new Border Patrol 
agents and technologies come online. The request increases 
funding for training and other assistance for State and local 
authorities to support the Border Patrol on targeted 
enforcement missions. The request for the Department of Justice 
will provide additional resources for the prosecution and 
adjudication of illegal immigration cases.
    I designate these proposals in the amounts requested herein 
as an emergency requirement. I urge the Congress to act 
expeditiously to address the security needs along the Nation's 
borders.
    The details of these requests are set forth in the enclosed 
letter from the Acting Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget.
            Sincerely,
                                                    George W. Bush.
                 Executive Office of the President,
                           Office of Management and Budget,
                                      Washington, DC, May 18, 2006.
The President,
The White House.
    To implement your objective to secure the Nation's borders 
as part of your comprehensive immigration initiative, I submit 
for your consideration revised supplemental proposals for the 
Departments of Defense (DOD), Homeland Security (DHS), and 
Justice (DOJ). The original requests were transmitted to the 
Congress on February 16th.
    The proposed increase, which totals $1.9 billion, supports 
your commitment to increase the number of Border Patrol agents, 
end catch and release, assist State and local law enforcement, 
augment immigration enforcement along the border, and 
temporarily use the National Guard to assist DHS in securing 
the southern border. This border security initiative is fully 
offset through reductions in amounts previously requested for 
DOD. I recommend that you designate the proposals contained in 
this transmittal as an emergency requirement.
    As described below and in more detail in the enclosures, 
the requests include the following:
Department of Defense
      $756 million to place up to 6,000 National Guard 
personnel on the border through next year to operate 
surveillance systems, analyze intelligence, install fences and 
vehicle barriers, build patrol roads, and provide training.
Department of Homeland Security
      $410 million for Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) salaries and expenses to hire 1,000 Border Patrol Agents 
and the related support costs, including contract personnel; 
replace Border Patrol vehicles; support Secure Border 
Initiative integration efforts; and increase capacity at the 
Border Patrol Academy in Artesia, New Mexico. When combined 
with funds in the FY 2007 Budget and planned for subsequent 
budgets, this will fulfill your commitment to add 6,000 Border 
Patrol agents by the end of 2008, doubling the size of the 
Border Patrol during your presidency.
      $95 million for CBP's Air and Marine Interdiction 
account to purchase Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and helicopters.
      $300 million for CBP construction to provide 
resources to add vehicle barriers, all-weather patrol roads, 
and permanent lighting and fencing along the border. The 
funding also will allow for the expansion and investment needed 
to accommodate the growth in the Border Patrol agent workforce.
      $327 million for Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement (ICE) for 4,000 additional detention beds to 
support the Administration's goal to end catch and release 
along the southern border; for removal and transportation costs 
associated with these detention beds; for Fugitive Operations 
teams and other detention and removal personnel; and for the 
Alternatives to Detention program. Included in this request is 
$50 million for the 287(g) program, which will enhance 
partnerships between ICE and State and local law enforcement as 
newly trained and certified officers join immigration and 
border security task forces. The expanded participation will 
increase the apprehension, prosecution, and removal of criminal 
aliens and alien smuggling rings at the southern border and 
throughout the country.
      $25 million for the Federal Law Enforcement 
Training Center to increase training capacity for additional 
Border Patrol Agents.
      $15 million for Operation Stonegarden initiatives 
in southwest border States, including measures that increase 
border security in direct coordination with Customs and Border 
Protection personnel. These grants will enable State, local, 
and tribal law enforcement personnel to increase their patrol 
presence at the border; provide additional traffic control 
support at the border and at border patrol traffic checkpoints; 
and enhance their participation in the Integrated Border 
Enforcement Teams. This is in addition to previously 
appropriated funds for the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention 
Program (LETPP).
Department of Justice
      $9 million for DOJ's Executive Office for 
Immigration Review to hire new administrative law judges and 
technical, clerical, and translator support to address the 
anticipated impact of enhanced enforcement efforts along the 
southern border.
      $9 million for the Civil Division's Office of 
Immigration Litigation to hire additional immigration attorneys 
as well as associated technical and clerical support. The 
additional positions will support the timely disposition of 
current and future cases.
      $2 million for the United States Attorneys to 
support enhanced border enforcement efforts along the border.
Offsets
      The request is fully offset through reductions in 
the amount previously requested for the Department of Defense 
on February 16, 2006. The attached supplemental language 
reflects these reductions to that original request.
      These offsets come primarily from defense 
accounts for procurement items that can be deferred until 
later. There are no proposed reductions that would impact 
personnel or operational activities necessary for the War on 
Terror. Many of these offsets are similar to ones already 
identified by Congress.
    I have reviewed these proposals and am satisfied that they 
are necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the Secretaries 
of Defense and Homeland Security, and the Attorney General in 
recommending that you transmit the proposals to the Congress.
            Sincerely,
                                          Clay Johnson III,
                                                   Acting Director.
    Enclosures.
                            Revised Request


                         DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE


                       Operation and Maintenance


                OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, DEFENSE-WIDE

    For an additional amount for ``Operation and Maintenance, 
Defense-Wide'', $4,290,929,000, of which--
    (1) not to exceed $25,000,000 may be used for the Combatant 
Commander Initiative Fund, to be used in support of Operation 
Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom;
    (2) not to exceed $1,500,000,000 to remain available until 
expended, may be used for payments to reimburse Pakistan, 
Jordan, and other key cooperating nations, for logistical, 
military, and other support provided, or to be provided, to 
United States military operations, notwithstanding any other 
provision of law: Provided, That such payments may be made in 
such amounts as the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence 
of the Secretary of State, and in consultation with the 
Director of the Office of Management and Budget, may determine, 
in his discretion, based on documentation determined by the 
Secretary of Defense to adequately account for the support 
provided, and such determination is final and conclusive upon 
the accounting officers of the United States, and 15 days 
following notification to the appropriate congressional 
committees: Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense 
shall provide Quarterly reports to the congressional defense 
committees on the use of funds provided in this paragraph;
    (3) not to exceed $44,500,000 for Cooperative Threat 
Reduction; and
    (4) not to exceed $756,000,000 for emergency National Guard 
support to the Department of Homeland Security, including 
operating surveillance systems, analyzing intelligence, 
installing fences and vehicle barriers, building patrol roads, 
and providing training, to remain available until September 30, 
2007: Provided, That the Secretary of Defense may transfer 
these funds to appropriations for military personnel, operation 
and maintenance, and procurement to be available for the same 
purposes 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 purposes provided herein, such amounts may be 
transferred back to this appropriation, to be merged with and 
available for the same purposes and for the time period 
provided under this heading: Provided further, That the 
Secretary of Defense shall, not more than five days after 
making transfers from this appropriation, notify the 
congressional defense committees in writing of any such 
transfer.
    This proposal would provide $756 million to support 
National Guard deployments in support of U.S. border control 
efforts. In coordination with the governors, rotations of up to 
6,000 National Guard members will be deployed to the Nation's 
southern border. The Guard units will assist in border security 
efforts through tasks such as: operating surveillance systems, 
analyzing intelligence, installing fences and vehicle barriers, 
building patrol roads, and providing training. However, 
National Guard units deployed to the border will not be 
involved in direct law enforcement activities; that duty will 
be done by the Department of Homeland Security which will 
remain in the lead.
    This initial commitment of Guard members would last for one 
year. After that, the number of National Guard members will be 
reduced as new Border Patrol agents are added and new 
technologies come online. At any one time, these 6,000 Guard 
members account for less than two percent of the total National 
Guard force of more than 440,000. Guard members will be 
deployed in two- to three-week rotations to meet this 6,000 
person level. There are enough National Guard members to deploy 
to the Nation's border, while continuing to respond to natural 
disasters and fight and win the War on Terror.
    Military personnel will be employed consistent with 
applicable Federal, State, and local law. The National Guard 
Bureau will serve as the coordinating authority to deploy 
National Guard units from across the country to perform the 
border security mission in support of the Department of 
Homeland Security. The National Guard units will remain under 
the command and control of their respective State governors and 
Adjutants General.
    The funds are requested in the Operation and Maintenance 
Defense-Wide account, to be available through FY 2007. Once the 
operational details of the Guard deployments are worked out, 
the Secretary will transfer funds from this account to the 
proper military personnel, Operations and Maintenance, and 
procurement accounts for expenditure. He will notify Congress 
of these transfers within five days.
    Furthermore, $3.5 billion that was previously requested 
would provide support to Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation 
Enduring Freedom. This request includes funds for: operations; 
transportation; supplies and equipment; depot maintenance; and 
command, control, and intelligence capabilities in part for the 
Special Operations Command. It would also fund the 
communication backbone and continuing support for voice, video 
and data systems management, transmission and satellite 
services. In addition, this request would finance continuing 
support for contract audit, contract management, media, 
military tribunals, family support counseling, and critical 
infrastructure protection. This request includes $95 million to 
support the lift and sustainment costs of Coalition partners.
    The additional funding authorized for the Combatant 
Commander Initiative Fund supports unforeseen low-cost, high-
benefit initiatives that enhance joint warfighting capabilities 
in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring 
Freedom.
    The request would also fund payments to key cooperating 
nations (e.g., Pakistan, Jordan) and Coalition countries 
providing logistical, military, or other support to U.S. 
military operations in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and 
Operation Enduring Freedom. Such support includes 
transportation into the theater, providing supplies to 
Coalition forces in the theater, and helping Coalition forces 
with communication support.
    In addition, this request would provide $44.5 million to 
fund urgent activities to secure nuclear warheads at storage 
sites in Russia, as part of a global strategy to prevent 
terrorist organizations from gaining access to nuclear weapons 
materials. These funds would support the Cooperative Threat 
Reduction program's efforts to prevent proliferation by 
ensuring the security and safety of nuclear weapons during 
storage, pending their final dismantlement and 
demilitarization. The requested funding supports the 
accelerated schedule for these activities agreed to by 
Presidents Bush and Putin at the G-8 Summit in Bratislava in 
February, 2005.

    This request adds $300 million to the pending supplemental 
request for this account. The additional funds will provide the 
resources to add 256 miles of vehicle barriers, 359 miles of 
all weather patrol roads, and additional lighting and fencing 
along the border. The funding will also allow for the expansion 
of Border Patrol facilities needed to accommodate the growth in 
the Border Patrol agent workforce. The remaining $16 million 
will be used for build-out costs; replacement items, including 
the laboratory and seizure vault; and other tenant improvements 
to rebuild Customs and Border Protection structures in New 
Orleans, Louisiana, as previously requested.

                                ------

    For an additional amount for ``Salaries and Expenses'', 
$327,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2007:

there is no minimum funding level for any State. No funds would 
be obligated or drawn down in support of these activities 
without Department of Homeland Security (DHS) approval of 
operational support plans. State, local, and Tribal law 
enforcement agencies could not use this funding to supplant 
routine patrol and law enforcement operations or activities in 
order to perform other activities not directly related to 
providing an enhanced law enforcement support of Federal border 
enforcement. No funding would be used for DHS Management and 
Administration costs, and States could use no more than three 
percent for management and administration.

                                ------

translator support to address the anticipated impact of 
Operation Streamline and other enhanced enforcement efforts 
along the southern border.
                                ------

    For an additional amount for ``Salaries and Expenses'', 
$11,700,000, to remain available until September 30, 2007, of 
which $9,700,000 is for hurricane-related prosecution and 
investigation expenses: Provided, That Congress designates this 
amount as an emergency requirement for these specific purposes.
    The proposal would provide $2 million for new Assistant 
United States Attorneys to support enhanced border enforcement 
efforts along the southern border. Additional U.S. Attorneys 
are required to ensure that appropriate cases can be prosecuted 
and that caseloads for U.S. Attorneys remain at manageable

million to support the prosecution and investigation of cases 
stemming from hurricanes in the Gulf Coast region, as 
previously requested. The resources will be used for the costs 
associated with significant additional caseload relating to the 
hurricanes and the aftermath.

                                ------

transferred to the Coast Guard ``Operating Expenses'' account 
for reimbursement for activities in support of activities 
requested by the Navy.
    This request would provide $2.8 billion to fund Navy 
activities in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation 
Enduring Freedom. This funding would support the Navy's efforts 
to bring peace and stability to Iraq and Afghanistan.
    This proposal includes necessary resources to cover costs 
associated with support for Active and mobilized Reserve 
personnel, including travel and per diem, and costs associated 
with operations, such as incremental flying hours, ship 
steaming days, contractor logistics support, fuel purchases, 
base support, depot maintenance, and over-ocean transportation. 
The request also includes a reimbursement of $20 million, which 
is the Navy's share of the reprogramming to finance DOD 
operations associated with Pakistan earthquake relief. The 
request provides funds for the Coast Guard forces to continue 
to provide port security and law enforcement capabilities, as 
requested by the Department of Defense Combatant Commander.

                                ------
