    Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting a Report on Iraq
    February 13, 2003

    Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)
        Pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq
    Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243) and as part of my effort to keep
    the Congress fully informed, I am providing a report prepared by my
    Administration on matters relevant to that resolution including on
    matters relating to planning for post-liberation Iraq under section 7 of
    the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-338). The report also
    discusses recent developments in the areas previously reported pursuant
    to section 3 of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq
    Resolution (Public Law 102-1) on our efforts to obtain compliance by
    Iraq with the resolutions adopted by the United Nations Security
    Council.
             Sincerely,

                                                              George W. Bush

    Note: Identical letters were sent to J. Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the
    House of Representatives, and Richard B. Cheney, President of the
    Senate.
