For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
May 15, 2002
Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In furtherance of the provisions of Public Law 107-38, the
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery from and
Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States, FY 2001, today I am
notifying the Congress of my intent to reallocate funds previously
transferred from the Emergency Response Fund.
This reallocation within the United States Postal Service reflects
revised requirements related to the anthrax incidents that affected the
Nation's mail. As provided in Public Law 107-38, the reallocation
would be effective 15 days from the date of this transmittal.
The details of this action 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
