Presidential Letter
Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In order to continue responses necessary as a result of the
September 11th terrorist attacks, I am notifying the Congress of my
intent to reallocate funds previously transferred from the Emergency
Response Fund (ERF).
At this time, $290 million of ERF funds will be transferred to the
Department of State to accelerate a variety of initiatives already
underway in Afghanistan.
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
