HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, THE TREASURY, HOMELAND SECURITY, AND STATE
AS WELL AS THE UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND
THE BROADCASTING BOARD OF GOVERNORS
April 13, 2010.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and
ordered to be printed
The White House,
Washington, March 24, 2010.
Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Madam Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the
enclosed amendments to Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 proposals in my FY
2011 Budget. Included are amendments for the Departments of
Agriculture, Defense, Health and Human Services, Homeland
Security, State, and the Treasury, as well as the United States
Agency for International Development and the Broadcasting Board
of Governors. These amendments would provide for costs
associated with relief and reconstruction support for Haiti
following the devastating earthquake of January 12, 2010,
including reimbursement of obligations that have already been
incurred by these agencies.
The proposed totals for FY 2010 in my FY 2011 Budget would
increase by $2.8 billion as a result of these amendments.
This request responds to urgent and essential needs.
Therefore, I request these proposals be considered as emergency
requirements. The details of these amendments are set forth in
the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama.
Enclosure.
[Estimate No. 3, 111th Congress, 2d Session]
Executive Office of the President,
Office of Management and Budget,
Washington, DC, March 24, 2010.
The President,
The White House.
Submitted for your consideration are amendments to the
Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 proposals in your FY 2011 Budget.
Included are amendments for the Departments of Agriculture,
Defense, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, State,
and the Treasury, as well as the United States Agency for
International Development and the Broadcasting Board of
Governors. These amendments would provide for costs associated
with relief and reconstruction support for Haiti following the
devastating earthquake of January 12, 2010, including
reimbursement of obligations that have been already incurred by
these agencies.
This request responds to urgent and essential needs and,
therefore, the specific amendments are being requested as
emergency requirements. The proposed Budget totals for FY 2010
would increase by $2.8 billion as a result of these amendments,
which are described below and in more detail in the enclosures.
$150.0 million--Department of Agriculture. This
request would fund emergency food aid needs to assist victims
of the earthquake in Haiti.
$655.0 million--Department of Defense. These
requests would provide funding to reimburse the Department for
FY 2010 amounts previously transferred to the Overseas
Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid (OHDACA) Defense account,
or temporarily realigned from other OHDACA efforts, and to
provide humanitarian and disaster assistance to assist victims
following the earthquake of January 12, 2010, in and around
Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
$220.0 million--Department of Health and Human
Services. This request would fund critical response and
recovery activities to assist victims of the earthquake in
Haiti. These activities include definitive medical care in the
United States for eligible evacuees, Federal repayment for the
State share of Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) services for eligible medical and non-medical evacuees.
Requested resources will also support public health activities
in Haiti.
$60.0 million--Department of Homeland Security.
These requests would fund activities such as reception and
settlement services provided under the Cuban/Haitian Entrant
Program; fee waivers for eligible Haitians granted Temporary
Protected Status; and costs associated with adoptions and
orphans. Funds are also requested for the Coast Guard for
maintenance and related expenses resulting from operations
conducted in support of Haiti response and relief.
$1,491.0 million--Department of State and United
States Agency for International Development (USAID). These
requests include $1,245.0 million to fund relief, recovery and
reconstruction needs. This includes temporary shelter, health,
and sanitation needs for displaced persons, as well as re-
establishing essential services, supporting reconstruction of
shelter, water, sanitation, healthcare, and electricity
infrastructure, and improving economic security in Haiti.
Funding is also requested to re-establish detention capacity,
support the criminal justice sector, and restore the
counterdrug operational capacity of the Haiti National Police
and Haitian Coast Guard. To provide additional programmatic
oversight, funding is also requested for the USAID Inspector
General.
These requests would also provide a total of $96.5 million
for the United Nations Peacekeeping Mission in Haiti, which is
critical for a secure and stable environment. In addition,
$149.5 million is requested for Department of State operations
requirements such as additional consular staff in Haiti;
repatriation loans associated with the evacuation of U.S.
citizens; and housing and office requirements for U.S.
Government personnel in Haiti.
$219.8 million--Department of the Treasury. Of
this request, $212.0 million would support a U.S. contribution
to a multi-donor agreement to cancel debts owed by Haiti to the
International Development Association, the Inter-American
Development Bank, and the International Fund for Agricultural
Development. Funding would also be used for Treasury advisors
to assist the Haitian Government with financial and economic
reconstruction.
$5.2 million--Broadcasting Board of Governors.
This request would provide for increased costs related to a
surge in Voice of America Creole broadcasting in Haiti, which
is a primary way for the Haitian people to get accurate
information concerning relief and recovery efforts.
Recommendation
This request fulfills known and urgent needs, and I
recommend that you request the specific amendments contained in
this transmittal be considered emergency requirements.
Therefore, I join the heads of the affected agencies in
recommending you transmit these proposals to the Congress.
Sincerely,
Peter R. Orszag,
Director.

Proposed Amendment: Language
FY 2010 Revised Supplemental Request: --
(In the appropriations language under the above heading,
insert the following two new sections immediately following
section 10:)
SEC. 11. Funds obligated or expended by any federal agency
in support of emergency humanitarian assistance services at the
request of or in coordination with the Department of Defense,
the Department of State, or the U.S. Agency for International
Development, on or after January 12, 2010 and before February
12, 2010, in support of the Haitian earthquake relief efforts
are deemed to be specifically authorized by the Congress.
This provision would authorize funding for Federal agencies
to provide humanitarian assistance to support U.S. Government
relief efforts in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake in
Haiti. Due to the extent of the disaster and the time critical
nature of providing assistance to save victim's lives, some
support was requested and provided on an emergency basis.
SEC. 12. Funds previously transferred to the ``Overseas
Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid'' account under the
authority of section 8005 of Public Law 111-118 and consistent
with the notification provided on January 25, 2010 (entitled
``reprogramming action 10-07PA'') and the notification provided
on March 15, 2010 (entitled ``reprogramming action 10-08PA'')
for Department of Defense Haiti disaster relief activities
shall not be taken into account for purposes of the limitation
on the amount of funds that may be transferred under section
8005: Provided, That transfers of such funds back to their
source appropriations shall not be taken into account for
purposes of the limitation on the amount of funds that may be
transferred under section 8005: Provided further, That such
transfers back may be made 10 days following notification of
the congressional defense committees.
This provision would allow the Department of Defense to
transfer funds to pay for its Haiti disaster relief activities
and later reimburse the accounts that supplied the funding for
the activities once the supplemental appropriations act is
enacted without those transfers counting toward the
Department's statutory general transfer authority limit
specified within section 8005 of the FY 2010 Department of
Defense Appropriations Act.
The proposed total budget authority for FY 2010 in the FY
2011 Budget would not be affected by this amendment.

$220,000,000, to remain available until expended: Provided,
That these funds may be transferred by the Secretary to
accounts within the Department of Health and Human Services,
shall be merged with the appropriation to which transferred,
and shall be available only for the purposes provided herein:
Provided further, That none of the funds provided in this
paragraph may be transferred prior to notification of the
Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives
and the Senate: Provided further, That the transfer authority
provided in this paragraph is in addition to any other transfer
authority available in this or any other Act: Provided further,
That funds appropriated in this paragraph may be used to
reimburse agencies for obligations incurred for the purposes
provided herein prior to enactment of this Act: Provided
further, That funds may be used for the non-Federal share of
expenditures for medical assistance furnished under title XIX
of the Social Security Act, and for child health assistance
furnished under title XXI of such Act, that are related to
earthquake response activities: Provided further, That funds
may be used for services performed by the National Disaster
Medical System in connection with such earthquake, for the
return of evacuated Haitian citizens to Haiti, and for grants
to States and other entities to reimburse payments made for
otherwise uncompensated health and human services furnished in
connection with individuals given permission by the United
States Government to come from Haiti to the United States after
such earthquake, and not eligible for assistance under such
titles: Provided further, That the limitation in subsection (d)
of section 1113 of the Social Security Act shall not apply with
respect to any repatriation assistance provided in response to
the Haiti earthquake of January 12, 2010: Provided further,
That with respect to the previous proviso, such additional
repatriation assistance shall only be available from the funds
appropriated herein: Provided further, That the Congress
designates this amount as an emergency requirement for this
specific purpose.
This amendment would provide $220 million to fund critical
response and recovery activities to assist Haiti victims
following the earthquake of January 12, 2010, in and around
Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The activities will include definitive
medical care in the United States for eligible evacuees,
Federal repayment for the State share of Medicaid and
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) services for
eligible medical and non-medical evacuees, cash and medical
assistance to humanitarian parolees, and repatriation costs as
