White House officials today asked Congress [1] for more than $436
million in new cybersecurity and counterterrorism programs in the
Homeland Security and Justice departments fiscal 2008 spending bills.

These amendments are necessary to enhance Federal civilian agency
cybersecurity and strengthen defenses to combat terrorism, President
George Bush wrote in a letter to House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

Bush said $386 million of the new spending would be offset by reductions
in previously requested funding and cancellation of unobligated
balances, and $50 million would come from funds appropriated in U.S.
Troop Readiness, Veterans Care, Hurricane Katrina Recovery and Iraq
Accountability Appropriations Act of 2007.
