    Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives on Funding for the
    Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States
    Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction

    March 12, 2004

    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 the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United
    States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction (the ``Commission'').
        At this time, $4 million will be transferred from the Emergency
    Response Fund for the Commission. As provided in Public Law 107-38,
    these funds will be made available to the Commission 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
