Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives Transmitting 
Budget Amendments

April 6, 2006

Dear Mr. Speaker:

    I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed FY 2007 Budget 
amendments for the Departments of Agriculture, and State and

Other International Programs; the Federal Communications Commission; and 
the Smithsonian Institution. Overall, the discretionary budget authority 
in my FY 2007 Budget would not be increased by these requests.
    This transmittal also contains FY 2007 Budget amendments for the 
legislative branch. As a matter of comity, appropriations requests for 
the legislative branch are commonly transmitted without change.
    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
