    Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives Transmitting
    Fiscal Year 2004 Budget Amendments
    May 1, 2003

    Dear Mr. Speaker:
        I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed amendments to the
    Administration's FY 2004 budget submission for the Department of
    Defense.
        In total, these amendments would not affect the budgetary resources
    proposed in my FY 2004 Budget.
        The details of this proposal 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
