 A REQUEST FOR BUDGET AMENDMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2010 PROPOSALS IN THE 
  FISCAL YEAR 2011 BUDGET FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND 
                                JUSTICE




July 13, 2010.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and ordered 
                             to be printed
                                           The White House,
                                         Washington, June 22, 2010.
Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Madam Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the 
enclosed amendments to Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 proposals in my FY 
2011 Budget for the Departments of Homeland Security and 
Justice.
    These amendments would support efforts to secure the 
Southwest border and enhance Federal border protection, law 
enforcement, and counternarcotics activities.
    The amounts requested would be partially offset by 
cancelling $100 million from a lower priority program within 
the Department of Homeland Security. The proposed budget 
authority for FY 2010 would, therefore, increase by a net total 
of $500 million as a result of these amendments.
    This request responds to urgent and essential needs. 
Therefore, I request these proposals be considered as emergency 
requirements. The details of this request are set forth in the 
enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management 
and Budget.
            Sincerely,
                                                      Barack Obama.
                [Estimate No. 8, 111th Cong., 2d Sess.]

                 Executive Office of the President,
                           Office of Management and Budget,
                                     Washington, DC, June 22, 2010.
The President,
The White House.
    Submitted for your consideration are amendments to Fiscal 
Year (FY) 2010 proposals in your FY 2011 Budget. The amendments 
include proposals for the Departments of Homeland Security and 
Justice.
    These amendments would support efforts to secure the 
Southwest border and enhance Federal border protection, law 
enforcement, and counternarcotics activities. This request 
responds to urgent and essential needs, and therefore, the 
specific amendments are being requested as emergency 
requirements.
    The amounts requested would be partially offset by 
cancelling $100 million from a lower priority program within 
the Department of Homeland Security. The proposed budget 
authority for FY 2010 would, therefore, increase by a net total 
of $500 million as a result of these amendments, which are 
described below and in more detail in the enclosures.
Department of Homeland Security
    These amendments would provide $399 million for the 
Department to support increased Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations 
along the Southwest border. The request includes $297 million 
to hire 1,000 new Border Patrol agents, $37 million for two new 
unmanned aerial detection systems, $52.5 million for 160 new 
ICE agents, $6.5 million for 30 new CBP officers, and $6 
million for 20 new CBP canine teams. Although not a part of 
this request, an additional $100 million of existing resources 
in the Border Security Fencing, Infrastructure, and Technology 
account shall be repositioned to higher priority replacement 
and repair of fences to enhance physical infrastructure along 
the Southwest border.
    In addition, an amendment is provided to cancel permanently 
$100 million from the FY 2010 enacted appropriation for the 
Customs and Border Protection's Border Security Fencing, 
Infrastructure, and Technology account. While the Department of 
Homeland Security is striving to improve the current technology 
assets at the border, the funds in the Border Security Fencing, 
Infrastructure, and Technology account will not be used pending 
a Department-wide review.
Department of Justice
    These amendments would provide $201 million for the 
Department to surge Federal law enforcement officers in the 
Southwest border region and the temporary deployment of 
personnel to high crime areas. Specifically, Justice funding 
would increase the presence of Federal law enforcement in the 
Southwest border districts by adding seven ATF Gunrunner Teams, 
five FBI Hybrid Task Forces, additional DEA agents, equipment, 
operational support, and additional attorneys and immigration 
judges and to support additional detention and incarceration 
costs for criminal aliens in coordination with Department of 
Homeland Security enforcement activities. The amendments would 
also provide funding to support Mexican law enforcement 
operations with ballistic analysis, DNA analysis, information 
sharing, technical capabilities, and technical assistance.
Recommendation
    I have carefully reviewed this request and am satisfied 
that it is necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the heads 
of the affected agencies in recommending that you transmit this 
proposal to the Congress.
            Sincerely,
                                           Peter R. Orszag,
                                                          Director.
    Enclosure.

FY 2010 Pending Supplemental Request: --
Proposed Amendment: $52,500,000
FY 2010 Revised Supplemental Request: $52,500,000

(In the appropriations language under the above agency, insert 
the above new bureau and heading and the following new language 
immediately following the heading ``Immigration Examinations 
Fee'' and just before the bureau heading ``United States Coast 
Guard'':)

    For an additional amount for ``Salaries and Expenses'' for 
necessary expenses for emergency hiring of new Criminal 
Investigators related to Southwest border enforcement, 
$52,500,000, to remain available until September 30, 2011: 
Provided, That Congress designates this amount as an emergency 
requirement for these specific purposes.
    This amendment would allow the Department of Homeland 
Security to hire and deploy 160 new Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement Criminal Investigators. The additional agents will 
be positioned in the highest risk locations along the Southwest 
border and it is estimated the 160 additional agents would 
yield 2,720 new enforcement actions (arrests, indictments, 
convictions, seizures, fines, or penalties) each year against 
the most significant criminal organizations involved in 
narcotics, alien, firearm, and bulk cash smuggling and 
trafficking.
    The proposed total budget authority for FY 2010 in the FY 
2011 Budget would increase by $52.5 million as a result of this 
amendment. This increase is partially offset by a proposed 
reduction to a lower priority activity within the Department of 
Homeland Security, as described in an accompanying amendment.

and just before the bureau heading ``United States Coast

    For an additional amount for ``Salaries and Expenses'' for 
emergency hiring of new Border Patrol agents, Customs and 
Border Protection Officers, and K-9 teams for Southwest border 
activities, $309,500,000, to remain available until September 
30, 2011: Provided, That Congress designates this amount as an 
emergency requirement for these specific purposes. 
    This amendment would provide $309.5 million for enhanced 
Southwest border enforcement Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) personnel, including $297 million to hire and deploy 
1,000 new Border Patrol agents and the related support costs--
for a total staffing level of over 21,000 agents--and allow CBP 
to establish a flexible surge force of approximately 500 
agents. The amendment also provides $6.5 million for CBP to 
hire 30 new CBP Officers at the ports of entry and $6 million 
to add 20 new CBP K-9 Teams.
    The proposed total budget authority for FY 2010 in the FY 
2011 Budget would increase by $309.5 million as a result of 
this amendment. This increase is partially offset by a proposed 
reduction to a lower priority activity within the Department of 
Homeland Security, as described in an accompanying amendment.

(In the appropriations language under the above newly inserted 
bureau, insert the above new heading and the following new 
language immediately following the newly inserted heading 
``Salaries and Expenses'' and just before the bureau heading 
``United States Coast Guard'':)

    For an additional amount for ``Air and Marine Interdiction,

operations and maintenance of unmanned aircraft systems to be 
deployed along the Southwest border, $37,000,000, to remain 
available until September 30, 2011: Provided, That Congress 
designates this amount as an emergency requirement for these 
specific purposes. 
    This amendment would provide $37 million to fund the 
procurement, operations and maintenance of two unmanned 
aircraft systems for use along the Southwest border. These 
systems will be deployed to monitor the Southwest border and 
assist in the interdiction of aliens and goods moving illegally 
into the United States.
    The proposed total budget authority for FY 2010 in the FY 
2011 Budget would increase by $37 million as a result of this 
amendment. This increase is partially offset by a proposed 
reduction to a lower priority activity within the Department of

Proposed Amendment: Language
FY 2010 Revised Supplemental Request: --

(In the appropriations language under the above agency, insert 
the above new heading and the following new language 
immediately following the newly inserted heading ``Air and 
Marine Interdiction, Operations, Maintenance, and Procurement'' 
and just before the bureau heading ``United States Coast 
Guard'':)

    SEC. 1. Of the funds appropriated in Public Law 111-83 
under the heading ``Border Security Fencing, Infrastructure, 
and Technology'', $100,000,000 are hereby permanently 
cancelled. 
    This provision would cancel permanently $100 million from 
the FY 2010 enacted appropriation for the Customs and Border 
Protection's Border Security Fencing, Infrastructure, and 
Technology account. While the Department of Homeland Security 
is striving to improve the current technology assets at the 
border, the funds in the Border Security Fencing, 
Infrastructure, and Technology account will not be used pending 
a Department-wide review.
    This proposed decrease will be used to partially offset 
proposed increases to fund the President's comprehensive 
enforcement strategy by strengthening ports of entry with 
additional inspectors; expanding Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement drug, cash and arms smuggling investigations; and 
enhancing law enforcement resources in the Department of 
Justice, a key component in overall Southwest border law 
enforcement and prosecutions, as described in the accompanying 
amendments.
    The proposed total budget authority for FY 2010 in the FY 
2011 Budget would decrease by $100 million as a result of this 
amendment.

enforcement, $25,262,000, to remain available until September 
30, 2011: Provided, That Congress designates this amount as an

Bureau of Investigation's Salaries and Expenses account. These 
funds would be used to establish five new hybrid investigation 
teams and FBI SWAT deployments, as well as operational costs 
associated with increased investigations along the Southwest 
border, including wiretapping and fingerprint capture 
equipment.

2011 Budget would increase by $25.3 million as a result of this

reduction to a lower priority activity within the Department of 
Homeland Security, as described in an accompanying amendment.
