Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives
September 3, 2002
Dear Mr. Speaker:
I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed requests for FY 2003
budget amendments for the Departments of Health and Human Services and
Transportation, and for International Assistance Programs.
These amendments continue my commitment to provide necessary
resources to enhance transportation security, to assist Israel and the
people of the West Bank and Gaza, and to fight the growing pandemic of
HIV/AIDS among developing countries.
The details of these requests are set forth in the enclosed letter
from the Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget. I
concur with her comments and observations.
Sincerely,
GEORGE W. BUSH
