    Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives Transmitting
    Budget Amendments
    June 8, 2007

    Dear Madam Speaker:
        I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed FY 2008 Budget
    amendments for the Departments of Commerce, Energy, Homeland Security,
    Justice, and Transportation, as well as the Legal Services Corporation.
    Overall, the discretionary budget authority proposed in my FY 2008
    Budget would not be increased by these requests.
        This transmittal also contains FY 2007 proposals and FY 2008 Budget
    amendments for the Legislative Branch. As a matter of comity between
    branches, appropriations requests of the Legislative Branch are
    transmitted without change.
        The details of these amended requests and proposals are set forth in
    the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and
    Budget.
             Sincerely,

                                                              George W. Bush
