Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives
July 12, 2002
Dear Mr. Speaker:
I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed requests for FY 2003
budget amendments for the Securities and Exchange Commission and for
the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, and Housing and Urban
Development. The discretionary budgetary resources proposed in my FY
2003 budget would not be increased by these requests.
This transmittal also contains FY 2003 budget amendments for the
legislative branch. As a matter of comity, appropria-tions requests of
the legislative branch are transmitted without change. These
additional amendments would increase discretionary resources for the
legislative branch by $17.7 million.
The details of these requests 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
