    Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives on Reallocation of
    Funds Previously Transferred From the Emergency Response Fund
    July 31, 2003

    Dear Mr. Speaker:
        In order to continue responses necessary as a result of the
    September 11th terrorist attacks, I am notifying the Congress of my
    intent to reallocate funds previously transferred from the Emergency
    Response Fund (ERF).
        At this time, $1.2 million of ERF funds will be transferred to the
    United States Trade Representative to support increased security at
    international trade negotiations.
        The details of this action are set forth in the enclosed letter from
    the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
             Sincerely,

                                                              George W. Bush
