      "summary": "In a nationwide address on September 7, 2003, the President announced that he would request\nan\nadditional $87 billion for ongoing military operations and for reconstruction assistance in Iraq,\nAfghanistan, and elsewhere. On September 17, the White House submitted a formal request for\nFY2004 supplemental appropriations of that amount to Congress. Administration officials said they\nwould like to see congressional action completed some time before October 24, when an\ninternational donors conference was scheduled to meet in Madrid to seek pledges of economic\nassistance for Iraq. \n  On October 29, House and Senate appropriators announced a conference agreement, on\n H.R. 3289 , a bill providing supplemental appropriations for military operations and for\nreconstruction assistance in Iraq and Afghanistan. The House approved the conference agreement\nby a vote of 298-121 on October 31, and the Senate approved the measure by voice vote on\nNovember 3. The President signed the bill into law,  P.L. 108-106 , on November 6.\n  The key issue in Congress was whether to provide reconstruction assistance to Iraq entirely as\ngrants or partly as loans. The conference committee rejected a Senate proposal to provide about half\nof the Iraq reconstruction assistance as loans. On other issues, conferees eliminated a Senate\nprovision adding 10,000 troops to the Army for peacekeeping duties; agreed to a modified version\nof a Senate provision to provide health insurance through the DOD TRICARE program for\nnon-activated military reservists not eligible for employer-provided health insurance; cut the\nAdministration request for reconstruction assistance to Iraq by $1.655 billion as in the House bill\nrather than by $1.855 million as in the Senate bill; agreed to provide $400 million more for\nAfghanistan than the Administration requested, as in the House bill; agreed to provided $245 million\nfor assessed costs of U.N. peacekeeping in Liberia, as in the House bill; agreed to provide an\nadditional $100 million for Liberia and $10 million for Sudan for humanitarian assistance;\neliminated a House provision to require that Iraq reconstruction be coordinated by a\nSenate-confirmed official; and did not include $1.3 billion for veterans health benefits that was in\nthe Senate bill (which may be provided instead in the pending VA-HUD-independent agencies\nappropriations bill). The conference agreement also provides $500 million for the Federal\nEmergency Management Agency (FEMA) for disaster relief for Hurricane Isabel and the California\nwildfires.\n  In earlier floor action, Congress rejected proposals to roll back tax cuts to pay for the bill; to\nshift funds from Iraq reconstruction to domestic programs; to make release of funds conditional on\nspecific requirements; and to transfer control of Iraq reconstruction from the Defense Department\nto the State Department.",
