                                           The White House,
                                        Washington, April 13, 2018.
Hon. Paul D. Ryan,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the 
enclosed fiscal year (FY) 2019 Budget amendments for the 
Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education, Energy, Health 
and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban 
Development, the Interior, Justice, Labor, State, 
Transportation, the Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, and the 
Environmental Protection Agency, National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration, National Science Foundation, Social Security 
Administration, U.S. Agency for International Development, and 
Other International Programs.
    These amendments are necessary to correctly reflect 
policies assumed in my FY 2019 Budget. These amendments include 
correction amendments, which would not affect the overall FY 
2019 budget authority totals. In addition, these amendments 
include the appropriations language needed to formally reflect 
the February 12, 2018, ``Addendum to the President's FY 2019 
Budget to Account for the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018'' 
(Addendum). Consistent with the aforementioned February 12, 
2018, Addendum, these amendments would increase the total net 
discretionary budget authority counted under the discretionary 
spending caps in my FY 2019 Budget by $95 billion, with $20 
billion more counted under the defense cap and $75 billion more 
counted under the non-defense cap. This would bring base 
discretionary funding in my FY 2019 Budget to the defense cap 
specified in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 of $647 billion 
while holding non-defense funding to $540 billion, or $57 
billion below the non-defense cap.
    The details of this proposal are set forth in the enclosed 
letter from the Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget.

            Sincerely,
                                                   Donald J. Trump.
