Presidential Letter
Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives
April 11, 2003
Dear Mr. Speaker:
I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed request for the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). This request would provide
an additional $18.3 million to the EEOC in FY 2003. It is needed for
the EEOC to avoid furloughing its entire workforce for as many as 19
days in FY 2003, which would significantly disrupt its ability to
conduct its enforcement responsibilities.
The details of this request are set forth in the enclosed letter
from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. I concur
with his comments and observations.
Sincerely,
GEORGE W. BUSH
