Dear Madam Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)

    I am pleased to transmit to the Congress, consistent with the 
provisions of section 699M of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 
(Public Law 110-161), the enclosed report entitled, ``Comprehensive 
Nuclear Threat Reduction and Security Plan.''
    This report, compiled by the Departments of State, Defense, Energy, 
and Homeland Security, details Federal plans to ensure that all weapons 
and weapons-usable material at vulnerable sites are secure from 
terrorist threats. As required, the report includes information on 
sustainability plans, interagency cooperation, programmatic and 
budgetary requirements, and international engagement related to these 
vital national security efforts.
     Sincerely,
                                                George W. Bush

Note: Identical letters were sent to Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House 
of Representatives, and Richard B. Cheney, President of the Senate.
