Presidential Letter
Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives
Dear Mr. Speaker:
I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed FY 2005 budget
amendments for the Department of Defense reflecting the Army's
recommendation not to proceed further with funding for the Comanche
helicopter program. Overall, the discretionary budget authority
proposed in the FY 2005 Budget would not be affected by these
amendments.
The details of these proposals are set forth in the enclosed letter
from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Sincerely,
GEORGE W. BUSH
