    Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives on Use of
    Emergency Supplemental Appropriations
    December 14, 2005

    Dear Mr. Speaker:
        I am notifying the Congress of my intent to use funds provided in
    Public Law 107-38, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for
    Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States, FY
    2001, for improvements to the White House Situation Room to enhance the
    capabilities of the White House in the war on terrorism.
        At this time, $3.3 million will be transferred from the Emergency
    Response Fund to the Department of Defense. As provided in Public Law
    107-38, these funds will be made available to the Department of Defense
    immediately.
        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
