    Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives Transmitting
    Budget Amendments
    September 7, 2004

    Dear Mr. Speaker:
        I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed FY 2005 budget
    amendments for the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Energy,
    and the Corps of Engineers. 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
