      "title": "Supplemental Appropriations FY2003: Iraq Conflict, Afghanistan, Global War on Terrorism, and Homeland Security",
      "summary": "On March 25, 2003, President Bush requested $74.8 billion in the FY2003 Emergency\nSupplemental\nfor ongoing military operations in Iraq, postwar occupation, reconstruction and relief in Iraq,\ninternational assistance to countries contributing to the war in Iraq or the global war on terrorism,\nthe cost of the continued U.S. presence in Afghanistan, and additional homeland security.\n  On April 12, 2003, the House and Senate passed the conference version of the FY2003\nsupplemental ( H.R. 1559 / H.Rept. 108-76 / P.L. 108-11 ). It includes $78.49 billion, $3.7\nbillion more than requested by the President. Additions made by Congress include $3.1 billion for\nassistance to the airlines, $749 million more for homeland security programs, and $369 million in\nfood aid for Iraq and other countries.\n  The Administration asked Congress to approve funding that would be lodged in several large\nemergency funds where agencies could determine the actual allocation of funds to particular\npurposes or specific countries. The conference version distributes most of these funds to regular\nappropriations accounts and generally requires additional notifications to Congress of transfers in\ncases where the Administration is given additional flexibility. \n  The largest fund proposed was $59.9 billion for the DOD's Defense Emergency Response Fund\nthat would cover the costs associated with the war in Iraq, the continued U.S. presence in\nAfghanistan, enhanced security at U.S. military bases, and postwar occupation in Iraq. The\nconference includes $15.7 billion in a new Iraq Freedom Fund but distributes the remaining funds\nto specific accounts.\n  Congress further provides $2.475 billion for an Iraq Relief and Reconstruction that will fall\nunder the authorities of regular foreign assistance programs usually managed by the State\nDepartment and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).  H.R. 1559 ,\nhowever, extends considerable flexibility to the President, allowing him to directly apportion funds\nto several federal agencies, including the Defense Department. The FY2003 Emergency\nSupplemental also includes $4.7 billion in international assistance for about 22 countries which have\ncontributed in some fashion to the war in Iraq or the global war on terrorism. This includes\nsubstantial increases in current aid levels for Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and\nTurkey. Israel, Egypt and Turkey would also receive U.S. government guaranteed loans. \n  The Administration also requested that substantial appropriations be provided en bloc for\nhomeland security, including $2 billion for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for grants\nto states and enhancements of security, and $500 million for a DHS Counterterrorism Fund for \ninvestigations and operations. The conference provides $749 million more for homeland security\nbut allocates funds to specific appropriation accounts.",
