    Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives on Reallocation of
    Funds Previously Transferred From the Emergency Response Fund
    July 23, 2003

    Dear Mr. Speaker:
        In order to continue the necessary and critical responses to the
    September 11 terrorist attacks, I am notifying the Congress of my intent
    to reallocate funds previously transferred from the Emergency Response
    Fund (ERF).
        At this time, $5 million of ERF funds will be transferred to the
    Food and Drug Administration to support activities to improve the
    security of the food supply.
        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
