    Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives Transmitting a
    Department of Defense Budget Amendment
    May 29, 2002

    Dear Mr. Speaker:
        I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed request for an FY 2003
    budget amendment for the Department of Defense reflecting my decision to
    cancel the Army's Crusader artillery system. The budget totals proposed
    in my FY 2003 Budget would not be affected by this amendment.
        The details of this request are set forth in the enclosed letter
    from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. I concur with
    his comments and observations.
             Sincerely,

                                                              George W. Bush

    Note: This letter was released by the Office of the Press Secretary on
    May 30.
