    Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives Transmitting
    Fiscal Year 2005 Budget Amendments
    June 25, 2004

    Dear Mr. Speaker:
        I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed FY 2005 budget
    amendments for the Departments of Commerce, Health and Human Services,
    Justice, State, and Transportation; as well as the General Services
    Administration, the Election Assistance Commission, and the Federal
    Communications Commission. In total, these amendments would not increase
    the discretionary budget authority proposed in my FY 2005 Budget.
        The details of these proposals are set forth in the enclosed letter
    from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
             Sincerely,

                                                              George W. Bush
