    Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives Giving
    Notification of Intent To Reallocate Funds Previously Transferred From
    the Emergency Response Fund
    May 27, 2005

    Dear Mr. Speaker:

        I am notifying the Congress of my intent to reallocate funds
    previously transferred from the Emergency Response Fund (ERF).
        To promote democracy and freedom, $7.7 million of ERF funds will be
    reallocated within the Broadcasting Board of Governors to support the
    operational costs of Arabic radio and television broadcasting to the
    Middle East.
        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
