[GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]
June 30, 2014.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and ordered
to be printed
The White House,
Washington, June 26, 2014.
Hon. John Boehner,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the
enclosed Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Budget amendments for the
Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of State and
Other International Programs (State/OIP) to fund Overseas
Contingency Operations (OCO). These amendments would provide
$58.6 billion for DOD OCO activities, which is $20.9 billion
less than the $79.4 billion placeholder for DOD OCO in the FY
2015 Budget. It would also provide $1.4 billion for State/OIP
OCO activities, which is in addition to the $5.9 billion for
State/OIP included in the FY 2015 Budget. Overall, these
amendments would decrease the total OCO funding requested for
FY 2015 by $19.5 billion.
Final decisions about the number and activities of U.S.
forces in Afghanistan after December 2014 had not yet been made
at the time the FY 2015 Budget was submitted. As a result, the
Budget included a placeholder for DOD FY 2015 OCO funding
equivalent to the amount requested in the FY 2014 Budget. The
Administration noted in the FY 2015 Budget that after
determining required force levels in Afghanistan, a Budget
amendment updating the OCO request would be submitted to the
Congress. The enclosed amendments include the necessary updates
to the OCO request in order to fund military operations in
Afghanistan, a significant portion of the U.S. military
presence around the Middle East, the Administration's proposed
Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund and European Reassurance
Initiative, and State/OIP peacekeeping costs in the Central
African Republic.
The details of these amendments are set forth in the
enclosed letter from the Acting Director of the Office of
Management and Budget.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama.
[Estimate No. 2, 113th Cong., 2d Session]
Executive Office of the President,
Office of Management and Budget,
Washington, DC, June 26, 2014.
The President,
The White House.
Submitted for your consideration are amendments to your
Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO)
request for the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department
of State and Other International Programs (State/OIP). Military
operations in Afghanistan, as well as activities that support
Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), related follow-on activities,
and other critical missions in the region, constitute the
majority of the DOD OCO request. The request also includes
funding for both DOD and State/OIP to implement the
Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund (CTPF) and the European
Reassurance Initiative (ERI), and additional funding for State/
OIP peacekeeping costs in the Central African Republic (CAR).
Because final decisions about the number and activities of
U.S. forces in Afghanistan after December 2014 had not yet been
made when the FY 2015 Budget was submitted, the Budget included
$5.9 billion in OCO funding for State/OIP and a placeholder of
$79.4 billion for DOD. This package submits for your
consideration the complete and updated FY 2015 request for DOD
OCO funding, totaling $58.6 billion, as well as an increase of
$1.4 billion for State/OIP OCO funding. Overall, these
amendments decrease by $19.5 billion the total amount of OCO
funding requested for FY 2015.
The United States' goals in Afghanistan beyond 2014 are to
continue to support the Afghan National Security Forces,
support economic development and governance efforts, and pursue
U.S. counterterrorism goals against al Qaeda and its affiliated
groups. As you announced in May, the United States will
conclude combat operations in Afghanistan by the end of this
calendar year. The United States will draw down to
approximately 9,800 U.S. servicemembers in Afghanistan by early
2015, which, together with NATO allies and other partners, will
allow the United States to continue advising key Afghan forces
and to sustain counterterrorism operations. By the end of 2015
the United States will have reduced that presence by roughly
half and consolidated its military and diplomatic presence to
Kabul and Bagram Airfield. By the end of 2016, DOD will draw
down to a more conventional embassy-based security assistance
presence in Kabul.
In support of OEF and related follow-on activities, DOD OCO
funding would support several key efforts, including:
Lconcluding the combat mission in
Afghanistan at the end of 2014 and positioning U.S.
military and intelligence forces in Afghanistan for
their post-2014 mission;
Ldrawing down to approximately 9,800 U.S.
servicemembers in the country by early 2015 from an
average of 38,000 in FY 2014;
Lcontinuing to support the Afghan National
Security Forces (ANSF) as they assume full
responsibility for security in Afghanistan after
December 2014;
Lsustaining the fight against transnational
terrorists who seek to undermine the United States and
its allies;
Lproviding warfighters with the
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR)
support that has proven essential for mission success
in Afghanistan and around the region;
Lproviding support to Coalition allies in
Afghanistan and the surrounding region;
Ldisposing of unexploded ordnance in
Afghanistan and continuing to support Coalition and
partner efforts to counter improvised explosive
devices;
Lreturning thousands of cargo containers and
pieces of equipment from Afghanistan to their home
stations;
Lreplenishing or replacing expended
munitions and ammunition as well as combat-damaged
equipment, including helicopters, ground vehicles, and
unmanned aerial systems; and
Lsupporting a portion of temporary Army and
Marine Corps end strength that currently supports OEF,
but will not be required under the defense strategy
articulated in the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review.
Although the FY 2015 OCO request reflects a transition as
the United States concludes combat operations in Afghanistan
partway into the fiscal year, most costs will not decline
precipitously. For example, DOD will still incur significant
costs to transport personnel, supplies, and equipment back to
their home stations. Funding to sustain the ANSF will continue
to be needed to ensure that Afghan forces can provide
sufficient security. There will be continued costs to repair
and replace equipment and munitions as DOD resets the force
over the next few years.
The OCO funding would also continue to support DOD's strong
forward presence in the broader Middle East region. The overall
U.S. military posture in the region enables DOD to support OEF
and other important missions, such as assuring our regional
partners, deterring aggression, and working with our partners
to counter terrorism. It includes advanced fighter aircraft,
ISR assets, missile defense capabilities, rotational ground
forces, a robust naval presence, and building partners'
capacity. As the United States continues its transition from
over a decade of fighting in the broader region to preparing
for future challenges, military capabilities in the region will
continue to evolve to meet new threats.
The updated OCO request includes $5 billion for CTPF, split
among DOD, State/OIP, and the Intelligence Community, with
dedicated transfer accounts in both DOD and State/OIP designed
to provide the flexibility and resources required to respond to
emerging needs as terrorist threats continue to evolve. The
CTPF would support a more sustainable and effective approach to
combating terrorism that focuses on empowering and enabling
partners facing terrorist threats. The DOD request of $4.0
billion would support a transitional effort to increase partner
capacity-building, facilitate partner counterterrorism
operations, enhance DOD's counterterrorism activities, and
increase DOD's flexibility in responding to emergent crises.
The State/OIP request of $1.0 billion would enable the
Department to increase counterterrorism and stabilization
efforts in areas such as the Middle East, North Africa and the
Sahel, the Horn of Africa, and South and Central Asia; address
underlying conditions conducive to terrorism; and address the
broader counterterrorism challenge of the crisis in Syria and
its destabilizing impact on the region. Both funds build
primarily on existing authorities, but would provide the
Federal Government with expanded flexibility and resources to
respond more nimbly to evolving terrorist threats and further
develop and invest in partnerships from South Asia to the
Sahel.
The OCO request also includes $1 billion for the ERI to
provide temporary support to bolster the security of our NATO
allies and partner states in Europe. These funds would enable
the United States to increase military exercises, training, and
presence in Europe, especially in Central and Eastern Europe,
increase U.S. naval force deployments to the Black and Baltic
Seas, enhance our preparedness to reinforce NATO allies through
the prepositioning of equipment, improve infrastructure at
training and logistics facilities, especially in Central and
Eastern Europe, and strengthen the capacity of partner states
in Europe to operate alongside the United States and NATO and
to defend their security. Of the $1 billion requested, $925
million is for DOD and $75 million is for State/OIP's Foreign
Military Financing account.
The updated request includes an additional $278 million in
State/OIP's Peacekeeping Response Mechanism account to fully
fund the additional estimated costs resulting from the April
2014 decision by United Nations (UN) Security Council to
authorize a new UN peacekeeping mission to deploy in the CAR.
This decision was made after the Administration submitted its
FY 2015 Budget.
General provisions included in this request would provide
necessary authorities to support military operations in the
U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. As in each of the
past five years, these include a request for $4 billion in OCO-
specific transfer authority.
Your FY 2015 Budget submitted in March 2014 estimated $47.1
billion in FY 2015 outlays from the FY 2015 DOD OCO
placeholder. Based on the updated request submitted in this
package, FY 2015 DOD OCO outlays from new budget authority
would be $33.8 billion. In addition, the updated request
increases estimated FY 2015 State/OIP OCO outlays by $472
million.
The FY 2015 Budget also reproposes a $450 billion multi-
year cap on Government-wide OCO funding over the FY 2013 to FY
2021 period. In FY 2014, enacted funding designated as OCO is
$91.9 billion across DOD, State/OIP, and the Department of
Homeland Security. With this update, the FY 2015 Budget
proposes a total of $65.8 billion in OCO funding for DOD and
State/OIP, leaving a total of $199.2 billion remaining under
the proposed cap for the years FY 2016 to FY 2021, or an
average of $33.2 billion per year.
Recommendation
I reviewed these amendments and am satisfied that they are
necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the Secretary of
Defense and the Secretary of State in recommending that you
transmit the amendments to the Congress.
Sincerely,
Brian C. Deese,
Acting Director.

For the ``Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund'',
$4,000,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2017:
Provided, That such funds shall be available, under the
authority provided by any other provision of law, to enhance
counterterrorism and crisis response activities undertaken by
the Armed Forces, and to provide support and assistance to
foreign security forces, irregular forces, groups, or
individuals to conduct, support, or facilitate counterterrorism

Management and Budget and the concurrence of the Secretary of
State, to ``Department of State--Counterterrorism Partnerships

Provided further, That the transfer authority in the
preceding proviso is in addition to any other transfer
authority available to the Department of Defense:
Provided further, That funds so transferred shall be merged

consistent with the purposes identified in the first proviso,
and for the same time period as the appropriation or fund to

Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense shall, not
fewer than 15 days prior to transferring amounts from this
appropriation account, notify the congressional defense
committees in writing of the details of any such transfer:
Provided further, That the preceding proviso shall not
apply to a transfer of funds if the Secretary of Defense
determines that the national security objectives of the United
States will be compromised by the application of the proviso,
in which case the Secretary of Defense shall immediately notify
the congressional defense committees that such transfer is
necessary and provide any relevant information (in classified
form, if necessary):
Provided further, That, upon a determination by the
Secretary of Defense with the approval of the Office of
Management and Budget, that all or part of the funds
transferred from this appropriation to an account of the
Department of Defense are not necessary for the purposes
herein, such amounts may be transferred back to this
appropriation and shall be available for the same purposes and
for the same time period as originally appropriated:
Provided further, That, upon a determination by the
Secretary of State, with the approval of the Office of
Management and Budget, and the concurrence of the Secretary of
Defense, that all or part of the funds transferred from this
appropriation to the Department of State are not necessary for
the purposes herein, such amounts may be transferred by the
Secretary of State back to this appropriation and shall be
available for the same purposes and for the same time period as
originally appropriated:
Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense may
obligate and expend funds transferred under this heading,
notwithstanding any limitation in a provision of law that would
otherwise restrict the amount or recipients of such support or
assistance:
Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense shall
exercise the authority provided in the previous proviso on a
case-by-case basis, and only after certifying in writing to the
Congress that it is in the national security interest to do so:
Provided further, That funds provided herein for

authorized by the Congress for purposes of section 504(a)(1) of
the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3094(a)(1)):
Provided further, That the amount provided under this
heading is designated by the Congress for Overseas Contingency
Operations/Global War on Terrorism pursuant to section

Provided further, That the amount provided under this
heading shall be available only if the President designates

This amendment would provide $4.0 billion for the
Department of Defense (DOD) portion of the Counterterrorism
Partnerships Fund (CTPF) announced by the President at West
Point on May 28, 2014. DOD funds made available for the CTPF
would enable the United States to enhance counterterrorism and
crisis response activities undertaken by the U.S. military and
provide enabling support to partners on the front lines against
terrorism. CTPF funds will be used to support counterterrorism
capacity-building efforts and/or combined counterterrorism
operations in areas such as the Middle East, North Africa and
the Sahel, the Horn of Africa, and South and Central Asia. In
addition, CTPF funds will be used to expand or enhance U.S.
capabilities and capacity needed to support counterterrorism
goals (e.g., additional intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance capacity) and will allow DOD to respond more
quickly and effectively to emergent crises related to
counterterrorism.
The CTPF builds primarily on existing authorities, but
provides the Federal Government with expanded flexibility and
resources to respond more nimbly to evolving terrorist threats
and to further develop and invest in partnerships from South
Asia to the Sahel in support of a sustainable and effective
counterterrorism strategy. In addition, appropriating CTPF
funding in a transfer account will provide the flexibility
needed to effectively respond to diffuse terrorist networks and
a rapidly changing security environment. Specific allocations
of CTPF funding will be subject to congressional notification
requirements as well as an interagency policy process jointly
led by the National Security Council and the Office of
Management and Budget in order to ensure integrated planning
and comprehensive oversight of CTPF funds.
The CTPF will also include the Syria Regional Stabilization
Initiative (RSI). Funding under the RSI will build the capacity
of the Syrian opposition and of neighboring countries including
Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq to manage the growing
spillover effects of the Syrian conflict. The Administration
will leverage existing security cooperation and assistance
programs, expand training and related infrastructure, and
tailor support packages to meet identified regional needs for
areas contending with refugees and other destabilizing effects
from the Syrian conflict. The Administration has included a
proposed authority to provide defense articles and services to
vetted elements of the Syrian armed opposition to help defend
the Syrian people, stabilize areas under opposition control and
facilitate the provision of essential services, counter
terrorist threats, and promote conditions for a negotiated
settlement. The RSI will make investments in the region now
that can help build resilience in communities and strengthen
internal and border security capabilities for the Syrian people
and Syria's neighbors as they confront growing threats.

This amendment would create a new transfer account and
provide $925 million to fund the DOD portion of the European
Reassurance Initiative (ERI) proposed by the President in
Warsaw on June 3, 2014. Funds made available for the ERI will
enable the United States to increase military exercises,
training, and presence in Europe, especially Central and
Eastern Europe; increase U.S. naval force deployments to the
Black and Baltic Seas; enhance our preparedness to reinforce
NATO allies through the prepositioning of equipment; improve
infrastructure at training and logistics facilities, especially
in Central and Eastern Europe; and strengthen the capacity of
partner states in Europe to operate alongside the United States
and NATO and to defend their security. Building on existing
authorities, appropriating ERI funding in a transfer account
will provide flexibility and responsiveness to the evolving
concerns of our allies and partners and allow time for the long

Proposed Amendment: $1,000,000,000

(In the appropriations language under the above bureau just

heading, the new subheading, the following new language, and a
new Bodoni dash:)
For the ``Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund'',
$1,000,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2017:
Provided, That such funds shall be available,
notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the purposes of
undertaking counterterrorism partnership efforts worldwide,
responding to crises, and addressing regional instability from
the conflict in Syria, (including, in addition to amounts
otherwise available for such purposes, for administrative
expenses):
Provided further, That the Secretary of State shall, with
the approval of the Office of Management and Budget, (1)
transfer the funds provided herein to accounts under the
headings ``Foreign Military Financing'', ``Nonproliferation,
Antiterrorism, Demining and Related Programs'', ``International
Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement'', ``Peacekeeping
Operations'', ``Complex Crises Fund'', and ``Economic Support
Fund'' or, (2) with the approval of the Office of Management
and Budget and the concurrence of the Secretary of Defense,
transfer and merge the funds provided herein with ``Department
of Defense--Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund'':
Provided further, That the transfer authority in the
preceding proviso is in addition to any other transfer
authority available to the Department of State:
Provided further, That the Secretary of State shall, not
fewer than 5 days prior to transferring amounts from this
appropriation account, notify the Committees on Appropriations
in writing of the details of any such transfer:
Provided further, That the preceding proviso shall not
apply to a transfer of funds if the Secretary of State
determines that the national security objectives of the United
States will be compromised by the application of the proviso,
in which case the Secretary of State shall immediately notify
the Committees on Appropriations within 3 days after such
transfer that such transfer is necessary and provide any
relevant information:
Provided further, That, upon a determination by the
Secretary of State with the approval of the Office of
Management and Budget, 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 and shall be available for the same
purposes and for the same time period as originally
appropriated:
Provided further, That, upon a determination by the
Secretary of Defense, with the approval of the Office of
Management and Budget and the concurrence of the Secretary of
State, that all or part of the funds transferred from this
appropriation to the Department of Defense are not necessary
for the purposes provided herein, such amounts may be
transferred back to this appropriation and shall be available
for the same purposes and for the same time period as
originally appropriated:
Provided further, That the amount provided under this
heading is designated by the Congress for Overseas Contingency
Operations/Global War on Terrorism pursuant to section
251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act of 1985, as amended:
Provided further, That the amount provided under this
heading shall be available only if the President designates
such amount for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on
Terrorism pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A).
This amendment would provide $1.0 billion for the
Department of State/OIP's portion of the Counterterrorism
Partnerships Fund (CTPF) announced by the President at West
Point on May 28, 2014. Funds made available for the CTPF would
enable the United States to enhance counterterrorism and crisis
response activities and provide enabling support to partners on
the front lines against terrorism. CTPF funds will be used to
support counterterrorism capacity-building efforts in areas
such as the Middle East, North Africa and the Sahel, the Horn
of Africa, and South and Central Asia.
The CTPF will also include the Syria Regional Stabilization
Initiative (RSI). Funding under the RSI will build the capacity
of the Syrian opposition and of neighboring countries including
Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq to manage the growing
spillover effects of the Syrian conflict. The Administration
will leverage existing security cooperation and assistance
programs, expand training and related infrastructure, and
tailor support packages to meet identified regional needs for
areas contending with refugees and other destabilizing effects
from the Syrian conflict. The RSI will make investments in the
region now that can help build resilience in communities and
strengthen internal and border security capabilities for the
Syrian people and Syria's neighbors as they confront growing
threats.
The CTPF builds on existing authorities, but provides the
Federal Government with expanded flexibility and resources to
respond more nimbly to evolving terrorist threats and to
further develop and invest in partnerships from South Asia to
the Sahel in support of a sustainable and effective
counterterrorism strategy. In addition, appropriating CTPF
funding in a transfer account will provide the flexibility
needed to effectively respond to diffuse terrorist networks and
a rapidly changing security environment. Specific allocations
of CTPF funding will be subject to congressional notification
requirements as well as an interagency policy process jointly
led by the National Security Council and the Office of
Management and Budget in order to ensure integrated planning
and comprehensive oversight of CTPF funds.
