    FISCAL YEAR 2015 BUDGET AMENDMENTS TO FUND OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY 
                               OPERATIONS




  November 13, 2014.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and 
                         ordered to be printed
                                           The White House,
                                     Washington, November 10, 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 
$5.6 billion for OCO activities to degrade and ultimately 
defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)--
including military operations as part of Operation Inherent 
Resolve.
    Accordingly, this request would provide $5.0 billion for 
DOD OCO activities in addition to the $58.6 billion DOD OCO 
request I submitted to the Congress in June 2014, and would 
result in a total DOD OCO request for FY 2015 of $63.6 billion. 
This amount is $15.8 billion less than the $79.4 billion 
placeholder for DOD OCO in the FY 2015 Budget. The request 
would also provide $520 million for State/OIP OCO activities, 
which is in addition to the $7.3 billion I requested for state/
OIP OCO activities in the FY 2015 Budget and the June budget 
amendment.
    The approach to counter ISIL has evolved with emerging 
requirements identified subsequent to the June OCO amendment, 
and therefore not previously requested. These amendments 
include the additional funding necessary to degrade and 
ultimately defeat ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained 
counterterrorism strategy.
    The details of these amendments are set forth in the 
enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management 
and Budget.
            Sincerely,
                                                      Barack Obama.
    Enclosure.
             [Estimate No. 5, 113th Congress, 2nd Session]

                 Executive Office of the President,
                           Office of Management and Budget,
                                 Washington, DC, November 10, 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). The 
purpose of these amendments is to provide the resources needed 
to support your comprehensive strategy to degrade, and 
ultimately defeat, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant 
(ISIL), including military operations associated with Operation 
Inherent Resolve (OIR).
    Our approach to counter ISIL, including OIR, has evolved 
with emerging requirements and additional funding needs 
identified subsequent to the FY 2015 OCO request submitted to 
the Congress in June. This package submits for your 
consideration an additional $5.0 billion for DOD OCO funding 
(for an FY 2015 total of $63.6 billion), as well as an increase 
of $520 million for State/OIP OCO funding (for an FY 2015 total 
of $7.8 billion). Overall, these amendments result in a total 
FY 2015 OCO request of $71.4 billion, which is $14.0 billion 
less than the sum of the OCO placeholder for DOD and the OCO 
request for State/OIP in the FY 2015 Budget.
    ISIL poses an immediate threat to Iraq, Syria, and American 
allies and partners throughout the region as it seeks to 
overthrow governments, control territory, terrorize local 
populations, and implement an oppressive and intolerant 
interpretation of sharia law. If left unchecked, ISIL could 
pose a growing threat to the United States and others beyond 
the region. Thousands of foreign fighters--including Europeans 
and some Americans--have joined ISIL in Syria and Iraq. We are 
concerned that these trained and battle-hardened fighters will 
try to return to their home countries and carry out deadly 
attacks. At the same time, ISIL is attempting to assert itself 
as the leader of the global jihad. ISIL remains well-resourced 
and has demonstrated an ability to recruit and radicalize 
through social media. Funding in this amendment will provide 
resources to support your comprehensive strategy during FY 
2015.
    In support of OIR, these amendments request funding for DOD 
to conduct a range of military operations against ISIL in the 
Middle East region, including for items such as:
           sustaining personnel forward deployed to the 
        Middle East to provide training, advice, and assistance 
        to partner security forces engaged in the fight against 
        ISIL;
           providing forces with enablers to support 
        operations, especially the intelligence, surveillance, 
        and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms and support that are 
        essential to conduct comprehensive counterterrorism 
        operations;
           replenishing or replacing munitions expended 
        while conducting airstrikes against ISIL, including 
        from Air Force and Navy platforms; and
           financing operations and maintenance costs 
        for air, ground, and naval operations, including: 
        flying hours; ship steaming days; and fuel, supplies, 
        and repair parts.
    The request includes $1.6 billion to establish the Iraq 
Train and Equip Fund (ITEF). ITEF would provide DOD, working 
with our coalition partners, the resources and authorities to 
develop and support Iraqi national security forces, including 
Kurdish forces, as they confront ISIL in Iraq. Our advisors are 
working to train and advise Iraqi forces, including Kurdish 
forces, to improve their ability to plan, lead and conduct 
operations against ISIL. ITEF will provide the resources to 
help reconstitute and develop security forces. This combination 
of operational advising and support and force development will 
be a critical step in our effort to degrade and ultimately 
defeat ISIL in Iraq and ultimately the entire region. ITEF will 
complement other efforts to enable partners to counter 
terrorism, such as the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund you 
requested in your June 2014 OCO request.
    The proposed OCO funding is additive to the $58.6 billion 
DOD request you sent to the Congress in June 2014, which 
included the costs of operations in Afghanistan, DOD's strong 
forward military presence in the broader Middle East region, 
and other critical missions. The costs of military operations 
against ISIL in the Middle East region were not included in the 
June 2014 request, and the Department requires additional 
funding to fulfill your counter-ISIL strategy in order to avoid 
diverting funding from other key priorities within its budget.
    These amendments also include $520 million in funding for 
State/OIP, which is additive to the $7.3 billion total OCO 
request for State/OIP in the FY 2015 Budget and June OCO 
amendment including CTPF. The existing request provides funding 
for diplomacy, governance, and security programs and activities 
to respond to the situation in Syria and other ongoing global 
crises. Amendments include additional resources to counter ISIL 
in Iraq, Syria, and the rest of the region. The funds will 
support the following activities:
           bolstering regional partners and their 
        efforts to address extremist threats along their 
        borders;
           expanding ongoing assistance to the moderate 
        Syrian opposition to develop their capacity to provide 
        local security for their communities;
           providing assistance to meet emergency 
        humanitarian needs in Iraq; and
           exposing ISIL's bankrupt ideology and 
        narrative by amplifying positive messaging through 
        international media and public diplomacy programs.

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,
                                             Shaun Donovan,
                                                          Director.

    For the ``Iraq Train and Equip Fund'', $1,618,000,000, to 
remain available until September 30, 2017:
    Provided, That such funds shall be available to the 
Secretary of Defense, with concurrence from the Secretary of 
State, to provide assistance to military and other security 
forces of, or associated with, the Government of Iraq, 
including Kurdish and tribal security forces, with a national 
security mission, to counter the Islamic State in Iraq and the 
Levant, including the provision of equipment, supplies, 
services, training, facility and infrastructure repair, 
renovation, construction, and stipends:
    Provided further, That the authority to provide assistance 
under this heading is in addition to any other authority to 
provide assistance:
    Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense may waive 
any other provision of law that would otherwise prohibit, 
restrict, limit, or otherwise constrain the obligation or 
expenditure of funds for the purposes provided herein:
    Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense may accept 
and retain contributions, including assistance in-kind, from 
foreign governments, including the Government of Iraq, and 
other entities, to carry out assistance authorized under this 
heading:
    Provided further, That contributions of funds for the 
purposes provided herein from any foreign government, including 
the Government of Iraq, and other entities may be credited to 
this Fund, to remain available until expended, and used for 
such purposes:
    Provided further, That of the amount provided under this 
heading, not more than 60 percent may be obligated to provide 
assistance under this heading to military and other security 
forces of, or associated with, the Government of Iraq, 
including Kurdish and tribal security forces, until foreign 
governments, including the Government of Iraq, and other 
entities expend or contribute funds for those forces, or 
provide in-kind support for those forces, with a total value, 
as determined from October 1, 2014, by the Secretary of 
Defense, of not less than 40 percent of the amount provided 
under this heading, of which at least 50 percent shall have 
been contributed or provided by the Government of Iraq:
    Provided further, That the limitation in the preceding 
proviso shall not apply (1) to the provision of any supply or 
equipment that is an item of significant military equipment (as 
such term is defined in section 47(9) of the Arms Export 
Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2794(9))) or is included on the United 
States Munitions List, as designated pursuant to section 
38(a)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778(a)(1)); 
or (2) in circumstances where the Secretary of Defense 
determines, in writing, that the national security objectives 
of the United States will be compromised by the application of 
the limitation to such assistance:
    Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense shall, not 
fewer than 5 days prior to obligating more than 60 percent of 
funds pursuant to the previous proviso, notify the 
congressional defense committees in writing of the details of 
the proposed obligation:
    Provided further, That the preceding proviso shall not 
apply to an obligation 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 obligation is 
necessary and provide any relevant information (in classified 
form, if necessary):
    Provided further, That amounts made available under this 
heading are 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 amounts provided under this heading 
shall be available only if the President designates such 
amounts for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on 
Terrorism pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A).
    This amendment would provide $1.6 billion for assistance to 
military and other security forces of, or associated with, the 
Government of Iraq (GoI), including Kurdish and tribal security 
forces, with a national security mission to counter ISIL. The 
authority includes the provision of equipment, supplies, 
services, training, facility and infrastructure repair, 
renovation, construction, and stipends. Of note, the proposal 
for this authority also includes provisions to ensure Iraqi 
contributions to this effort, since Iraqi partnership is 
critical to this effort. Specifically, the Iraqi Train and 
Equip Fund (ITEF) addresses the requirement to build the Iraqi 
military, other security forces, and Peshmerga proficiency; and 
to provide material support to tribal elements allied with 
Iraqi forces. The GoI will be required to contribute to the 
cost burden, including items such as site operations, life 
support of its forces, and other costs; coalition partners will 
contribute personnel and support for this effort.
    Key principals of the ITEF are that (1) the GoI is in the 
lead and will share the cost burden, (2) U.S. assistance levels 
are limited and are focused on bridging the most critical near-
term capabilities consistent with the campaign plan, and (3) 
coalition participation and support will be actively sought for
