Dear Mr. Speaker:
I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed FY 2005 budget
amendments for the Departments of Agriculture, Health and Human
Services, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, and Labor. In
addition, I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed FY 2004 language
proposal for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Overall,
the discretionary budget authority proposed in my FY 2005 budget would
not be increased by these requests.
The details of these proposals are set forth in the enclosed letter

Sincerely,
GEORGE W. BUSH
