Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Madam Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the 
enclosed Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Budget amendments for the 
Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Health and Human Services, 
the Interior, Justice, Labor, and Transportation, as well as 
the Commission of Fine Arts. These amendments are necessary to 
correctly reflect policies assumed in my FY 2023 Budget. These 
amendments would increase by $85 million the overall 
discretionary budget authority in my FY 2023 Budget.
    In addition, provided for your consideration is an 
amendment for the Department of Energy's Defense Environmental 
Cleanup account. The amendment would increase funding provided 
for the account by $191 million in order to increase amounts 
for specific cleanup efforts from the levels secured for the 
program in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022. Also 
included for your consideration is an amendment that would 
increase the authorization of appropriations provided by the 
Water Resources Development Act of 2000, as amended, for the 
Las Vegas Wash wetlands restoration and Lake Mead improvement 
project.
    This transmittal also contains eight FY 2023 Budget 
amendments for the Legislative Branch. As a matter of comity 
and tradition, these appropriations requests for the 
Legislative Branch are transmitted without change. These 
amendments would increase by $2 million the overall 
discretionary budget authority in my FY 2023 Budget.
    Taken together, the transmitted amendments would increase 
by $278 million the overall discretionary budget authority in 
my FY 2023 Budget.
    The details of this proposal are set forth in the enclosed 
letter from the Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget.
            Sincerely,
                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
