The Honorable Mike Johnson
Speaker of the House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Mr. Speaker:
On behalf of the President, I am transmitting to the Congress a request for $87.6 billion in
supplemental funding. Most of this request will address urgent needs related to Operation Epic
Fury (OEF), in addition to other critical needs such as responding to the Ebola outbreak in
Central Africa and supporting hardworking American farmers.
Under President Trump ' s leadership, the United States executed a successful operation to
deter the threat of a nuclear armed Iranian regime and massively degrade the regime 's ability to
project power in the region. Accordingly, the Administration' s request addresses operational
costs incurred by the Department of War (DOW) during OEF, including funding for military
personnel and readiness expenses, operational costs to rebuild stocks expended by DOW,
classified programs, and other key expenses. The request also provides $21 billion for DOW to
support critical capabilities, munitions procurement, and strengthen the U.S. industrial base.
In addition to supporting OEF costs incurred by DOW, the request provides $768 million
to the Department of Energy to support nuclear and other energy security requirements, primarily
for the National Nuclear Security Administration for OEF-related activities. Additional funding
is also requested for the Department of State (State) to address OEF-related costs, which would
address security for State personnel and facilities and embassy security, construction, and
maintenance. Further, funding is requested for costs the U.S. Coast Guard incurred as it
supported DOW in the Western Hemisphere while DOW was executing OEF.
Beyond the urgent needs arising from OEF, the Administration is also requesting funding
to address other crucial needs. Notably, this request includes $1 .4 billion in funding to respond to
the Ebola virus outbreak in Central Africa. These funds would be used to limit the spread of
Ebola beyond the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda to other vulnerable nations and
ensure the virus does not reach U.S. shores.
In addition, this supplemental request includes an additional $11.1 billion to support
American farmers . This includes $10 billion in temporary economic assistance for row and
specialty crops planted in crop year 2026. An additional $1.1 billion is requested to help the State
of Florida' s agricultural producers to rebound from devastating losses that were the result of
crippling storms this past winter.
The Administration also requests $500 million to support ongoing efforts to complete
restoration and construction projects in and around Washington, D.C., $1 billion to assist in the
final design and construction of a modernized Penn Station in New York City, $600 million to
support the General Services Administration, and $1 billion to increase the benefit levels for
participants of certain pension plans that were sponsored by Delphi Corporation and terminated
as a result of General Motors ' bankruptcy in 2009.
Furthermore, the Administration requests additional authorities that it strongly supports.
These authorities include revising the Federal regulation of hemp to ensure the fair treatment of
hemp products in a manner consistent with Amendment #54 offered to H.R. 8646 in the House
Rules Committee, or, at minimum, an extension of implementation of the regulatory framework
put in place by Section 781 of Public Law 119-3 7. They also include an urgent and needed fix
that codifies the permanent, year-round sale of E-15; adding flexibility to funding provided by
the Working Families Tax Cuts Act for the Administration' s Brand New Air Traffic Control
System initiative; increasing loan limits for small manufacturers; additional flexibilities for State;
and removing a statutory barrier to the Development Finance Corporation supporting
investments in Venezuela.
The enclosed table enumerates the request by agency and account. I urge the Congress to
take action on these important and urgent requests as soon as possible. The Administration is
also open to discussing additional relief for other urgent matters. I stand ready to work with you
for the benefit of the American people.
