A REQUEST FOR FY 2008 BUDGET AMENDMENTS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 
                   SECURITY AND DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE




  November 7, 2007.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and 
                         ordered to be printed
                                           The White House,
                                      Washington, November 6, 2007.
Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Madam Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the 
enclosed amendments to my FY 2008 requests for the Departments 
of Homeland Security and Justice. These amendments, when 
combined with funding enacted earlier this year for the FBI 
(Public Law 110-28), would provide $436 million to take 
important steps to enhance ongoing efforts for protecting the 
homeland. The amendments will enhance the security of the 
Government's civilian cyber networks and will further address 
emerging threats.
    Overall, the discretionary budget authority proposed in my 
FY 2008 Budget would not be increased. The details of these 
amendments proposal are set forth in the enclosed letter from 
the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
            Sincerely,
                                                    George W. Bush.

                [Estimate No. 7, 110th Cong., 1st Sess.]

                 Executive Office of the President,
                           Office of Management and Budget,
                                  Washington, DC, November 5, 2007.
The President,
The White House.
    Submitted for your consideration are amendments to my FY 
2008 Budget requests for the Department of Homeland Security 
(DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ). These amendments are 
necessary to enhance Federal civilian agency cybersecurity and 
strengthen defenses to combat terrorism.
    Of the $436 million total, $386 million would be fully 
offset by reductions in previously requested funding and 
cancellation of unobligated balances; and $50 million is 
available from funds appropriated in the U.S. Troop Readiness, 
Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability 
Appropriations Act of 2007. The $436 million would be allocated 
in the following manner:

                                  DOJ

Cyber
     $39 million to assist FBI's investigation of 
incursions into the Government's cyber networks, increase 
relevant intelligence analysis, and provide the necessary 
technical tools that support both investigations and analysis.
Combatting terrorism
     $105 million to support FBI's surveillance 
activities, intelligence analysis, investigations, and liaison 
and training.
     $2 million for the Drug Enforcement Administration 
for a communication intercept initiative.

                                  DHS

Cyber
     $115 million for cybersecurity initiatives to 
enhance Federal civilian detection capabilities, including 
accelerated deployment of monitoring capabilities and increased 
analytical operations at United States Computer Emergency 
Readiness Team (US-CERT) to support civilian agencies.
Combatting terrorism
     $175 million to counter threats in the aviation 
environment by increasing canine and Visible Intermodal 
Protection Response Teams to patrol airports, expanding the 
number of Behavior Detection Officers, ramping up random 
screening of airport workers in the secure areas of airports, 
adding Federal Air Marshals to enhance airline security, and 
speeding the deployment of Secure Flight.
     I have carefully reviewed these amendments and am 
satisfied that they are necessary at this time. Therefore, I 
join the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Acting Attorney 
General in recommending you transmit these amendments to the 
Congress.
            Sincerely,
                                                Jim Nussle,
                                                          Director.

FY 2008 Pending Request: $4,953,159,000
Proposed Amendment: $104,000,000
Revised Request: $5,057,159,000

    This proposal would increase the pending request by $104 
million to enhance aviation security. Specifically, this 
request would allow the Aviation Direct Access Screening 
Program to increase random screening of airport workers in the 
secure areas of airports; increase the number of Behavior 
Detection Officers to screen travelers for observable behaviors 
that may indicate that the individual may be at risk to the 
airport or aircraft; and increase the number of canine teams, 
which provide a highly mobile and effective resource that can 
be readily deployed against a specific threat. This request 
also includes a $20 million increase for the deployment of 
Visible Intermodal Protection Response Teams in all modes of 
transportation, which provide an increased deterrent effect 
through random, unpredictable show of force techniques. 
Furthermore, the request would establish vetting capabilities 
for general aviation passengers and crew, and conduct general 
aviation threat assessments.
    Taken together with the other proposals in this 
transmittal, the budget authority requested in the FY 2008 
Budget would not be affected.

Revised Request: $98,490,000

    This proposal would increase the pending request by $21 
million for Secure Flight, which will replace the current 
airline managed passenger vetting program with a Government-
operated program. In addition to using improved technology, it 
will alleviate the variability in performance in the current 
system and reduce the risk for compromised watch list data. 
This request is necessary to ensure the program is fully 
implemented in FY 2010.

transmittal, the budget authority requested in the FY 2008

FY 2008 Pending Request: $625,000,000
FY 2008 Discretionary Offset: $1,338,000,000
Proposed Discretionary Offset: $219,539,000
Revised FY 2008 Discretionary Offset: $1,557,539,000

(Delete the appropriations language under the above heading and 
insert the following:)
    Of the amounts deposited or available in the Crime Victims 
Fund, $1,557,539,000 is hereby permanently cancelled and 
transferred to miscellaneous receipts at the Treasury: 
Provided, That to the extent that amounts remaining in the Fund 
after such cancellation exceed $625,000,000, no obligations may 
be incurred in excess of $625,000,000.
    Amounts deposited into the Crime Victims Fund during FY 
2007 exceed the amounts estimated in the FY 2008 Budget. As a 
result, this amendment would not adversely affect the 
appropriation for the Crime Victims Fund. However, nearly $1.6 
billion in collections and prior year balances would be 
cancelled. The amount is approximately $220 million above the 
amount proposed for permanent cancellation in the President's 
FY 2008 Budget.
    The permanent cancellation of these funds will offset 
funding increases proposed in the Departments of Justice and 
Homeland Security to address emerging terrorism and cyber 
threats.
