A REQUEST FOR FY 2008 BUDGET AMENDMENTS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY AND DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
November 7, 2007.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and
ordered to be printed
The White House,
Washington, November 6, 2007.
Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Madam Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the
enclosed amendments to my FY 2008 requests for the Departments
of Homeland Security and Justice. These amendments, when
combined with funding enacted earlier this year for the FBI
(Public Law 110-28), would provide $436 million to take
important steps to enhance ongoing efforts for protecting the
homeland. The amendments will enhance the security of the
Government's civilian cyber networks and will further address
emerging threats.
Overall, the discretionary budget authority proposed in my
FY 2008 Budget would not be increased. The details of these
amendments proposal are set forth in the enclosed letter from
the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Sincerely,
George W. Bush.
[Estimate No. 7, 110th Cong., 1st Sess.]
Executive Office of the President,
Office of Management and Budget,
Washington, DC, November 5, 2007.
The President,
The White House.
Submitted for your consideration are amendments to my FY
2008 Budget requests for the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ). These amendments are
necessary to enhance Federal civilian agency cybersecurity and
strengthen defenses to combat terrorism.
Of the $436 million total, $386 million would be fully
offset by reductions in previously requested funding and
cancellation of unobligated balances; and $50 million is
available from funds appropriated in the U.S. Troop Readiness,
Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability
Appropriations Act of 2007. The $436 million would be allocated
in the following manner:
DOJ
Cyber
$39 million to assist FBI's investigation of
incursions into the Government's cyber networks, increase
relevant intelligence analysis, and provide the necessary
technical tools that support both investigations and analysis.
Combatting terrorism
$105 million to support FBI's surveillance
activities, intelligence analysis, investigations, and liaison
and training.
$2 million for the Drug Enforcement Administration
for a communication intercept initiative.
DHS
Cyber
$115 million for cybersecurity initiatives to
enhance Federal civilian detection capabilities, including
accelerated deployment of monitoring capabilities and increased
analytical operations at United States Computer Emergency
Readiness Team (US-CERT) to support civilian agencies.
Combatting terrorism
$175 million to counter threats in the aviation
environment by increasing canine and Visible Intermodal
Protection Response Teams to patrol airports, expanding the
number of Behavior Detection Officers, ramping up random
screening of airport workers in the secure areas of airports,
adding Federal Air Marshals to enhance airline security, and
speeding the deployment of Secure Flight.
I have carefully reviewed these amendments and am
satisfied that they are necessary at this time. Therefore, I
join the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Acting Attorney
General in recommending you transmit these amendments to the
Congress.
Sincerely,
Jim Nussle,
Director.

FY 2008 Pending Request: $4,953,159,000
Proposed Amendment: $104,000,000
Revised Request: $5,057,159,000
This proposal would increase the pending request by $104
million to enhance aviation security. Specifically, this
request would allow the Aviation Direct Access Screening
Program to increase random screening of airport workers in the
secure areas of airports; increase the number of Behavior
Detection Officers to screen travelers for observable behaviors
that may indicate that the individual may be at risk to the
airport or aircraft; and increase the number of canine teams,
which provide a highly mobile and effective resource that can
be readily deployed against a specific threat. This request
also includes a $20 million increase for the deployment of
Visible Intermodal Protection Response Teams in all modes of
transportation, which provide an increased deterrent effect
through random, unpredictable show of force techniques.
Furthermore, the request would establish vetting capabilities
for general aviation passengers and crew, and conduct general
aviation threat assessments.

CRIME VICTIMS FUND
FY 2008 Budget Appendix Page: 675
FY 2008 Pending Request: $625,000,000
FY 2008 Discretionary Offset: $1,338,000,000
Proposed Discretionary Offset: $219,539,000
Revised FY 2008 Discretionary Offset: $1,557,539,000
(Delete the appropriations language under the above heading and
insert the following:)
Of the amounts deposited or available in the Crime Victims
Fund, $1,557,539,000 is hereby permanently cancelled and
transferred to miscellaneous receipts at the Treasury:
Provided, That to the extent that amounts remaining in the Fund
after such cancellation exceed $625,000,000, no obligations may
be incurred in excess of $625,000,000.
Amounts deposited into the Crime Victims Fund during FY
2007 exceed the amounts estimated in the FY 2008 Budget. As a
result, this amendment would not adversely affect the
appropriation for the Crime Victims Fund. However, nearly $1.6
billion in collections and prior year balances would be
cancelled. The amount is approximately $220 million above the
amount proposed for permanent cancellation in the President's
FY 2008 Budget.
The permanent cancellation of these funds will offset
funding increases proposed in the Departments of Justice and
Homeland Security to address emerging terrorism and cyber
threats.
