THE DIRECTOR
January 8, 2002
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT: Enrolled Bill H.R. 3061 -- Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, PM32:16
and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, FY 2002
Sponsors: Representative Regula (R), Ohio
Senator Harkin (D), Iowa
Last Day for Action
While the last day for action is January 16, 2002 -- Wednesday, I recommend that you
sign this bill before Thursday, January 10th as funding for the agencies and accounts covered by
the enrolled bill is currently provided under P.L. 107-97, the eighth FY 2002 Continuing
Resolution, which will expire at midnight on Thursday, January 10th.
Purpose
Provides FY 2002 appropriations for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human
Services, and Education, and a number of smaller agencies.

Discussion
The Labor, HHS, Education, and Related Agencies enrolled bill provides a total of
$123.4 billion in FY 2002 discretionary budget authority, $7.2 billion over your request and
$14 1 billion over the FY 2001 enacted level. The bill provides an additional $0.4 billion in FY
2003 advance appropriations; therefore, on a program level basis, the bill totals $123.9 billion,
$7.5 billion over your request and $12.4 billion over FY 2001. The conference report on H.R.
3061 passed the House on December 19th, 393 to 30, and passed the Senate on December 20th,
90 to 7.
Presidential Initiatives
The enrolled bill includes funding for several of your key initiatives. The bill fully funds
or exceeds the requested level for Presidential priorities in elementary and secondary education,
including: State Assessments, Reading First, Teacher Quality State Grants, Troops to Teachers,
Character Education and the Reach Out and Read project. Bilingual Education receives $665
million, a $205 million increase over 2001, which will, as you proposed, enable the program to
begin operating as a State formula grant program. State Grants for Special Education, for which
you requested a $1 billion increase, received $7.5 billion, a $1.2 billion increase over 2001.
Outside of the elementary and secondary area, the bill provides funding increases for other
Presidential initiatives including the New Freedom Initiative.
In most cases, the enrolled bill also meets or exceeds your request for several key health
initiatives, including: the National Institutes of Health; Consolidated Health Centers; Drug
Abuse Treatment services; and, Global HIV/AIDS activities. In addition, the bill takes the first
steps in providing funding for your children and families initiatives, most notably the
Compassion Capital Fund and Promoting Safe and Stable Families.
Department of Education
The enrolled bill provides $48.9 billion in program level discretionary funding for the
Department of Education, $4.4 billion above your request and $6.9 billion over the
FY 2001 enacted level. This level reflects the bipartisan agreement reached in October, that you
endorsed, to increase education funding by $4 billion over your April budget request.
The bill provides $22.1 billion for programs funded in H.R.1, the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA), an increase of more than 25 percent over the 2001 level for
elementary and secondary education programs equivalent to those specifically funded in the
ESEA. This level is $3.4 billion, or 18.5 percent over the 2001 level for both elementary and
secondary programs and 2001 levels for School Renovation and Class Size Reduction programs.
The 2001 funding levels for School Renovation are not specifically authorized under H.R. 1;
however, States may use funding from their Innovative Program Grants for school renovation.
OMB and the Department of Education agree that the increase included in H.R.1 was more than
25 percent for equivalent programs. The bill also includes $10.4 billion for Title I Grants to
Local Educational Agencies, the primary source of Federal funding for disadvantaged students.
This level is below the $13.5 billion authorized in H.R. 1, but is $1.6 billion, or 18.1 percent over
the 2001 level. During the Fall, the Administration signaled its support for a $12 billion Title I
appropriation to reflect agreements reached with House and Senate authorizers.
The bill provides $10.3 billion for Pell Grants, $600 million above your request.
Worsening economic conditions this year have led to increases in the number of students who are
enrolling in college, placing additional funding demands on the Pell Grant program. The bill sets
the maximum Pell award at $4,000 but only provides enough funding to support a maximum
award of $3,600. At the same time, the bill eliminates the Secretary's discretion to reduce
awards in the event of insufficient funds. The Administration had informed Congress through
both written and oral communications that the level of funding Congress was willing to provide
would not finance the maximum award Congress wanted to tell students they provided. Thus,
Congress created a $1.3 billion shortfall in the Pell Grant program in 2002 that will need to be
addressed.
Congress accepted the Administration's proposal to eliminate the $1.2 billion School
Renovation Grant program and to redirect resources to higher priority activities, and Congress
also eliminated four other narrow-purpose programs that were funded in FY 2001. Congress,
however, provided $1.1 billion for over three dozen low priority programs the Administration did
not include in its budget and over $400 million is earmarked for unrequested projects.
Department of Health and Human Services
The enrolled bill provides $55.3 billion, $2.6 billion over your request, and $5.3 billion
over the FY 2001 enacted level, for Health and Human Services programs funded in this bill.
The bill provides $6.1 billion for the Health Resources and Services Administration, $1.1
billion above your request and $0.5 billion above FY 2001. Additional resources above your
request will support the National Health Service Corps, maternal and child health, and AIDS
drug assistance and other Ryan White CARE Act programs that support services and treatment
for individuals living with HIV/AIDS. The bill also includes an additional $10 million above
your request for abstinence education.
The bill provides $4.3 billion for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, $597
million above your request and $430 million above the FY 2001 enacted level. Additional
resources will support childhood immunizations, infectious disease control and HIV/AIDS
prevention.
The bill also provides the $100 million you requested in HHS for the Global Fund to
Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. These funds, in addition to the $100 million
provided in the Foreign Operations Appropriations Bill, will support the development of a
multilateral fund to provide prevention, treatment and care activities for individuals affected by
these diseases.
The National Institutes of Health receive $23.2 billion in the bill, $238 million above
your request and $2.9 billion above the FY 2001 enacted level. And, the bill provides an overall
funding level of $3.1 billion for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration, $109 million above your request and $181 million above the FY 2001 enacted
level. Additional resources above your request will support mental health treatment and
substance abuse prevention services.
The bill provides an overall funding level of $299 million for the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality, $7 million below your request and $29 million above the FY 2001 enacted
level.
The bill also earmarks hundreds of millions of dollars for unrequested projects at the
Department of Health and Human Services.
The enrolled bill increases Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funds by $300
million over your request for total non-emergency program funding of $1.7 billion.
The bill provides $70 million for the Promoting Safe and Stable Families program.
While this is $130 million below your request for discretionary funding for this program, it is an
increase of 23 percent of gross funding for this program. These additional resources will help
States to keep children with their biological families if safe and appropriate, to return children to
their parents, if possible, or to place children with adoptive families. The bill funds the
Compassion Capital Fund at $30 million, $59 million below your request of $89 million. Your
Strengthening Responsible Fatherhood initiative was not funded.
The enrolled bill also increases funding for the Administration on Aging (AoA) by $97
million over the FY 2001 enacted level and $102 million over your request for a total $1.1
billion. These additional funds will enable AoA to expand supportive services and nutrition
programs for the elderly.
Stem Cell Research and Needle Exchange Programs
The final version of the bill keeps in effect the prohibition against research in which
human embryos are destroyed. The report language accompanying the House version of the bill
reinforces your August 9, 2001 announcement regarding Federally-funded stem cell research and
makes clear that Federal funds may be used to support stem cell research in accordance with your
August 9, 2001 announcement.
The final version of the bill also does not include a provision included in the Senate-
passed version of the bill, opposed by the Administration, that would have have allowed Federal
funding for needle exchange programs.
Mental Health Parity Legislation
The final version of the bill also does not include mental health legislation sponsored by
Senator Domenici that was included in the Senate-passed version of the bill. During conference,
the Administration expressed support for the goal of coverage for mental health benefits, but
concern about the impact of the Senate-passed legislation on health care costs for private sector
employers and on the Federal budget. The enrolled bill instead includes an extension through
2002 of the less expansive mental health legislation that expired on September 30, 2001.
Department of Labor
The enrolled bill funds the Department of Labor at $12.0 billion, $0.7 billion above your
request and $0.1 billion over the FY 2001 enacted level.
The bill fully funds your request in key areas such as State unemployment insurance
administration and employment service operations, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and worker
protection. In addition, the bill provides $5.6 billion for employment and training programs,
$500 million above your request, including $1.5 billion for employment and training activities
for dislocated workers. The bill also includes $416 million for the Trade Adjustment Assistance
and NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance programs, whose authorizations expired on
September 30, 2001. Your proposal to eliminate grant funding in the International Labor Affairs
Bureau, however, was not adopted, and the program was funded at $148 million, $76 million
above the request.
Corporation for National and Community Service
Following the attacks of September 11th, you encouraged all Americans to fight the war
against terrorism through community service. In response to your leadership, the bill includes an
additional $5 million for Volunteers in Homeland Security to place senior and other volunteers in
community activities. Including redirected resources within the base budget, the Corporation
will provide a total of $29 million to help States and community organizations deploy some
15,000 volunteers in public safety, public health, disaster relief and preparedness.
Infringement on Executive Authority
The first proviso of Section 207 of the bill purports to make certain transfers between
appropriations for the Department of Health and Human Services subject to approval by the
congressional appropriations committees. Under the principles enunciated by the U.S. Supreme
Court in INS V. Chadha, Congress cannot by law make transfers of appropriations subject to the
approval of committees of Congress. At the same time, the intention of Congress that the
executive branch have flexibility to transfer funds among appropriations for the Department of
Health and Human Services is plain from the language of the Act. Accordingly, the Executive
branch shall treat the portion of the proviso of Section 207 that purports to provide for
congressional committee approval of transfers as of no force and severable from the remainder of
the proviso, Section 207 and the Act.
Also, Section 217, addressing the Acting Director of NIH, and Section 622, amending the
Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997, shall be implemented in a
manner consistent with the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.
Several provisions of the bill purport to make funding available for particular projects "in
the amounts specified in the statement of the managers on the conference report accompanying
this Act." Although specifications of projects and amounts in a statement of managers cannot
satisfy the constitutional requirements of bicameral approval and presentment to you needed to
give them the force of law, your Administration will treat these specifications in a manner
reflecting the comity between the executive and legislative branches on such matters.
Recommendation
On balance, the enrolled bill provides adequate funding for your major initiatives and
does not include a large number of objectionable legislative provisions. The enrolled bill also
abides by the agreed upon funding level for FY 2002 of $686 billion. I join with the heads of the
affected Departments and agencies in recommending that you sign H.R. 3061. A signing
statement is attached for your consideration.
Sincerely,
me Danies1

Research and Quality, $7 million below your request and $29 million above the FY 2001 enacted
level.
The bill also earmarks hundreds of millions of dollars for unrequested projects at the
Department of Health and Human Services.
The enrolled bill increases Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funds by $300
million over your request for total non-emergency program funding of $1.7 billion.
The bill provides $70 million for the Promoting Safe and Stable Families program.
While this is $130 million below your request for discretionary funding for this program, it is an
increase of 23 percent of gross funding for this program. These additional resources will help
States to keep children with their biological families if safe and appropriate, to return children to
their parents, if possible, or to place children with adoptive families. The bill funds the
Compassion Capital Fund at $30 million, $59 million below your request of $89 million. Your
Strengthening Responsible Fatherhood initiative was not funded.
The enrolled bill also increases funding for the Administration on Aging (AoA) by $97
million over the FY 2001 enacted level and $102 million over your request for a total $1.1
billion. These additional funds will enable AoA to expand supportive services and nutrition
programs for the elderly.
Stem Cell Research and Needle Exchange Programs
The final version of the bill keeps in effect the prohibition against research in which
human embryos are destroyed. The report language accompanying the House version of the bill
reinforces your August 9, 2001 announcement regarding Federally-funded stem cell research and
makes clear that Federal funds may be used to support stem cell research in accordance with your
August 9, 2001 announcement.
The final version of the bill also does not include a provision included in the Senate-
passed version of the bill, opposed by the Administration, that would have have allowed Federal
funding for needle exchange programs.
Mental Health Parity Legislation
The final version of the bill also does not include mental health legislation sponsored by
Senator Domenici that was included in the Senate-passed version of the bill. During conference,
the Administration expressed support for the goal of coverage for mental health benefits, but
concern about the impact of the Senate-passed legislation on health care costs for private sector
employers and on the Federal budget. The enrolled bill instead includes an extension through
2002 of the less expansive mental health legislation that expired on September 30, 2001.
Department of Labor
The enrolled bill funds the Department of Labor at $12.0 billion, $0.7 billion above your
request and $0.1 billion over the FY 2001 enacted level.
The bill fully funds your request in key areas such as State unemployment insurance
administration and employment service operations, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and worker
protection. In addition, the bill provides $5.6 billion for employment and training programs,
$500 million above your request, including $1.5 billion for employment and training activities
for dislocated workers. The bill also includes $416 million for the Trade Adjustment Assistance
and NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance programs, whose authorizations expired on
September 30, 2001. Your proposal to eliminate grant funding in the International Labor Affairs
Bureau, however, was not adopted, and the program was funded at $148 million, $76 million
above the request.
Corporation for National and Community Service
Following the attacks of September 11th, you encouraged all Americans to fight the war
against terrorism through community service. In response to your leadership, the bill includes an
additional $5 million for Volunteers in Homeland Security to place senior and other volunteers in
community activities. Including redirected resources within the base budget, the Corporation
will provide a total of $29 million to help States and community organizations deploy some
15,000 volunteers in public safety, public health, disaster relief and preparedness.
Infringement on Executive Authority
The first proviso of Section 207 of the bill purports to make certain transfers between
appropriations for the Department of Health and Human Services subject to approval by the
congressional appropriations committees. Under the principles enunciated by the U.S. Supreme
Court in INS V. Chadha, Congress cannot by law make transfers of appropriations subject to the
approval of committees of Congress. At the same time, the intention of Congress that the
executive branch have flexibility to transfer funds among appropriations for the Department of
Health and Human Services is plain from the language of the Act. Accordingly, the Executive
branch shall treat the portion of the proviso of Section 207 that purports to provide for
congressional committee approval of transfers as of no force and severable from the remainder of
the proviso, Section 207 and the Act.
Also, Section 217, addressing the Acting Director of NIH, and Section 622, amending the
Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997, shall be implemented in a
manner consistent with the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.
Several provisions of the bill purport to make funding available for particular projects "in
the amounts specified in the statement of the managers on the conference report accompanying
this Act." Although specifications of projects and amounts in a statement of managers cannot
satisfy the constitutional requirements of bicameral approval and presentment to you needed to
give them the force of law, your Administration will treat these specifications in a manner
reflecting the comity between the executive and legislative branches on such matters.
Recommendation
On balance, the enrolled bill provides adequate funding for your major initiatives and
does not include a large number of objectionable legislative provisions. The enrolled bill also
abides by the agreed upon funding level for FY 2002 of $686 billion. I join with the heads of the
affected Departments and agencies in recommending that you sign H.R. 3061. A signing
statement is attached for your consideration.
Sincerely,

THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
Lebill
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
Today I have signed into law H.R. 3061, the "Departments of
Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2002. II The legislation provides funding for
key domestic programs, including the important education
initiatives that have been a top priority of my Administration.
I appreciate the bipartisan effort that has gone into
producing this Act. The bill abides by the agreed upon aggregate
funding level for Fiscal Year 2002 of $686 billion and supports
several of my Administration's key initiatives with:
- -
$10.4 billion for Title I grants to close the
achievement gap between rich and poor students;
$1 billion for Reading First and Early Reading First to
help schools meet the goal of ensuring that all
students can read fluently by third grade;
$2.9 billion for State grants for improving teacher
quality;
$7.5 billion for State Grants for Special Education, an
increase of $1.2 billion over FY 2001;
- -
$23.2 billion for the National Institutes of Health to
support biomedical research to help prevent, detect,
diagnose and treat disease and disability;
full funding for the Consolidated Health Centers to
provide quality health care to millions of uninsured
and underserved Americans;
additional resources for Drug Abuse Treatment services
to help narrow the treatment gap between those in need
of treatment and those with access to it; and
full funding for Global HIV/AIDS activities to reduce
the impact of HIV/AIDS in developing countries,
including a further U.S. contribution to the global
trust fund to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and
tuberculosis.
While I am supportive of the overall bill, I have strong
concerns that this bill creates a serious fiscal problem for 2002
by underfunding the Pell Grant program, which provides critical
financial assistance to low-income students seeking higher
education. The bill mandates a Pell Grant maximum award of
$4,000, but provides only enough funding to pay for a maximum
award of $3,600, creating a shortfall of nearly $1.3 billion.
Congress disregarded my requests to provide resources for the
Pell program commensurate with the maximum award. My
Administration will ask Congress to correct this shortfall in the
FY 2003 Budget. I am committed to maintaining a strong Pell Grant
program that ensures qualified students have access to college,
and budgeting responsibly for its full costs.
I am pleased that the final version of the bill retains the
prohibition against research in which human embryos are
destroyed, and reinforces my determination on August 9, 2001 to
support Federally-funded stem cell research in an ethical manner.
I am also pleased that the final version of the bill retains
current law regarding funding for needle exchange programs.
The first proviso of Section 207 of the Act purports to make
certain transfers between appropriations for the Department of
Health and Human Services subject to approval by the
congressional appropriations committees. Under the principles
enunciated by the U.S. Supreme Court in INS V. Chadha, Congress
cannot by law make transfers of appropriations subject to the
approval of committees of Congress. At the same time, the
intention of Congress that the executive branch have flexibility
to transfer funds among appropriations for the Department of
Health and Human Services is plain from the language of the Act.
Accordingly, the executive branch shall treat the portion of the
proviso of Section 207 that purports to provide for congressional
committee approval of transfers as of no force and severable from
the remainder of the proviso, Section 207 and the Act.
Also, Section 217, addressing the Acting Director of NIH,
and Section 622, amending the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform
and Affordability Act of 1997, shall be implemented in a manner
consistent with the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.
Several provisions of the Act purport to make funding
available for particular projects "in the amounts specified in
the statement of the managers on the conference report
accompanying this Act. " Although specifications of projects and
amounts in a statement of managers cannot satisfy the
constitutional requirements of bicameral approval and presentment
to the President needed to give them the force of law, my

branches on such matters.

While the last day for action is January 16, 2002 -- Wednesday, I recommend that you
sign this bill before Thursday, January 10th as funding for the agencies and accounts covered by
the enrolled bill is currently provided under P.L. 107-97, the eighth FY 2002 Continuing
Resolution, which will expire at midnight on Thursday, January 10th.

Discussion
The Labor, HHS, Education, and Related Agencies enrolled bill provides a total of
$123.4 billion in FY 2002 discretionary budget authority, $7.2 billion over your request and
$14.1 billion over the FY 2001 enacted level. The bill provides an additional $0.4 billion in FY
2003 advance appropriations; therefore, on a program level basis, the bill totals $123.9 billion,
$7.5 billion over your request and $12.4 billion over FY 2001. The conference report on H.R.
3061 passed the House on December 19th, 393 to 30, and passed the Senate on December 20th,
90 to 7.
Presidential Initiatives
The enrolled bill includes funding for several of your key initiatives. The bill fully funds
or exceeds the requested level for Presidential priorities in elementary and secondary education,
including: State Assessments, Reading First, Teacher Quality State Grants, Troops to Teachers,
Character Education and the Reach Out and Read project. Bilingual Education receives $665
million, a $205 million increase over 2001, which will, as you proposed, enable the program to
begin operating as a State formula grant program. State Grants for Special Education, for which
you requested a $1 billion increase, received $7.5 billion, a $1.2 billion increase over 2001.
Outside of the elementary and secondary area, the bill provides funding increases for other
Presidential initiatives including the New Freedom Initiative.
In most cases, the enrolled bill also meets or exceeds your request for several key health
initiatives, including: the National Institutes of Health; Consolidated Health Centers; Drug
Abuse Treatment services; and, Global HIV/AIDS activities. In addition, the bill takes the first
steps in providing funding for your children and families initiatives, most notably the
Compassion Capital Fund and Promoting Safe and Stable Families.
Department of Education
The enrolled bill provides $48.9 billion in program level discretionary funding for the
Department of Education, $4.4 billion above your request and $6.9 billion over the
FY 2001 enacted level. This level reflects the bipartisan agreement reached in October, that you
endorsed, to increase education funding by $4 billion over your April budget request.
The bill provides $22.1 billion for programs funded in H.R. 1, the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act, $3.4 billion, or 18.5 percent over the 2001 level. The bill includes
$10.4 billion for Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies, the primary source of Federal
funding for disadvantaged students. This level is below the $13.5 billion authorized in H.R. 1,
but is $1.6 billion, or 18.1 percent over the 2001 level. During the Fall, the Administration
signaled its support for a $12 billion Title I appropriation to reflect agreements reached with
House and Senate authorizers.
The bill provides $10.3 billion for Pell Grants, $600 million above your request.
Worsening economic conditions this year have led to increases in the number of students who are
enrolling in college, placing additional funding demands on the Pell Grant program. The bill sets
the maximum Pell award at $4,000 but only provides enough funding to support a maximum
award of $3,600. At the same time, the bill eliminates the Secretary's discretion to reduce
awards in the event of insufficient funds. The Administration had informed Congress through
both written and oral communications that the level of funding Congress was willing to provide
would not finance the maximum award Congress wanted to tell students they provided. Thus,
Congress created a $1.3 billion shortfall in the Pell Grant program in 2002 that will need to be
addressed.
Congress accepted the Administration's proposal to eliminate the $1.2 billion School
Renovation Grant program and to redirect resources to higher priority activities, and Congress
also eliminated four other narrow-purpose programs that were funded in FY 2001. Congress,
however, provided $1.1 billion for over three dozen low priority programs the Administration did
not include in its budget and over $400 million is earmarked for unrequested projects.
Department of Health and Human Services
The enrolled bill provides $55.3 billion, $2.6 billion over your request, and $5.3 billion
over the FY 2001 enacted level, for Health and Human Services programs funded in this bill.
The bill provides $6.1 billion for the Health Resources and Services Administration, $1.1
billion above your request and $0.5 billion above FY 2001. Additional resources above your
request will support the National Health Service Corps, maternal and child health, and AIDS
drug assistance and other Ryan White CARE Act programs that support services and treatment'
for individuals living with HIV/AIDS. The bill also includes an additional $10 million above
your request for abstinence education.
The bill provides $4.3 billion for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, $597
million above your request and $430 million above the FY 2001 enacted level. Additional
resources will support childhood immunizations, infectious disease control and HIV/AIDS
prevention.
The bill also provides the $100 million you requested in HHS for the Global Fund to
Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. These funds, in addition to the $100 million
provided in the Foreign Operations Appropriations Bill, will support the development of a
multilateral fund to provide prevention, treatment and care activities for individuals affected by
these diseases.
The National Institutes of Health receive $23.2 billion in the bill, $238 million above
your request and $2.9 billion above the FY 2001 enacted level. And, the bill provides an overall
funding level of $3.1 billion for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration, $109 million above your request and $181 million above the FY 2001 enacted
level. Additional resources above your request will support mental health treatment and
substance abuse prevention services.
The bill provides an overall funding level of $299 million for the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality, $7 million below your request and $29 million above the FY 2001 enacted
level.
The bill also earmarks hundreds of millions of dollars for unrequested projects at the
Department of Health and Human Services.
The enrolled bill increases Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funds by $300
million over your request for total non-emergency program funding of $1.7 billion.
The bill provides $70 million for the Promoting Safe and Stable Families program.
While this is $130 million below your request for discretionary funding for this program, it is an
increase of 23 percent of gross funding for this program. These additional resources will help
States to keep children with their biological families if safe and appropriate, to return children to
their parents, if possible, or to place children with adoptive families. The bill funds the
Compassion Capital Fund at $30 million, $59 million below your request of $89 million. Your
Strengthening Responsible Fatherhood initiative was not funded.
The enrolled bill also increases funding for the Administration on Aging (AoA) by $97
million over the FY 2001 enacted level and $102 million over your request for a total $1.1
billion. These additional funds will enable AoA to expand supportive services and nutrition
programs for the elderly.
Stem Cell Research and Needle Exchange Programs
The final version of the bill keeps in effect the prohibition against research in which
human embryos are destroyed. The report language accompanying the House version of the bill
reinforces your August 9, 2001 announcement regarding Federally-funded stem cell research and
makes clear that Federal funds may be used to support stem cell research in accordance with your
August 9, 2001 announcement.
The final version of the bill also does not include a provision included in the Senate-

protection. In addition, the bill provides $5.6 billion for employment and training programs,
$500 million above your request, including $1.5 billion for employment and training activities

Bureau, however, was not adopted, and the program was funded at $148 million, $76 million
above the request.

Department of Health and Human Services.
The enrolled bill increases Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funds by $300
million over your request for total non-emergency program funding of $1.7 billion.
The bill provides $70 million for the Promoting Safe and Stable Families program.
While this is $130 million below your request for discretionary funding for this program, it is an
increase of 23 percent of gross funding for this program. These additional resources will help
States to keep children with their biological families if safe and appropriate, to return children to
their parents, if possible, or to place children with adoptive families. The bill funds the
Compassion Capital Fund at $30 million, $59 million below your request of $89 million. Your
Strengthening Responsible Fatherhood initiative was not funded.
The enrolled bill also increases funding for the Administration on Aging (AoA) by $97
million over the FY 2001 enacted level and $102 million over your request for a total $1.1
billion. These additional funds will enable AoA to expand supportive services and nutrition
programs for the elderly.
Stem Cell Research and Needle Exchange Programs
The final version of the bill keeps in effect the prohibition against research in which
human embryos are destroyed. The report language accompanying the House version of the bill
reinforces your August 9, 2001 announcement regarding Federally-funded stem cell research and
makes clear that Federal funds may be used to support stem cell research in accordance with your
August 9, 2001 announcement.
The final version of the bill also does not include a provision included in the Senate-
passed version of the bill, opposed by the Administration, that would have have allowed Federal
funding for needle exchange programs.
Mental Health Parity Legislation
The final version of the bill also does not include mental health legislation sponsored by
Senator Domenici that was included in the Senate-passed version of the bill. During conference,
the Administration expressed support for the goal of coverage for mental health benefits, but
concern about the impact of the Senate-passed legislation on health care costs for private sector
employers and on the Federal budget. The enrolled bill instead includes an extension through
2002 of the less expansive mental health legislation that expired on September 30, 2001.
Department of Labor
The enrolled bill funds the Department of Labor at $12.0 billion, $0.7 billion above your
request and $0.1 billion over the FY 2001 enacted level.
The bill fully funds your request in key areas such as State unemployment insurance
administration and employment service operations, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and worker
protection. In addition, the bill provides $5.6 billion for employment and training programs,
$500 million above your request, including $1.5 billion for employment and training activities
for dislocated workers. The bill also includes $416 million for the Trade Adjustment Assistance
and NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance programs, whose authorizations expired on
September 30, 2001. Your proposal to eliminate grant funding in the International Labor Affairs
Bureau, however, was not adopted, and the program was funded at $148 million, $76 million
above the request.
Corporation for National and Community Service
Following the attacks of September 11th, you encouraged all Americans to fight the war
against terrorism through community service. In response to your leadership, the bill includes an
additional $5 million for Volunteers in Homeland Security to place senior and other volunteers in
community activities. Including redirected resources within the base budget, the Corporation
will provide a total of $29 million to help States and community organizations deploy some
15,000 volunteers in public safety, public health, disaster relief and preparedness.
Infringement on Executive Authority
The first proviso of Section 207 of the bill purports to make certain transfers between
appropriations for the Department of Health and Human Services subject to approval by the
congressional appropriations committees. Under the principles enunciated by the U.S. Supreme
Court in INS V. Chadha, Congress cannot by law make transfers of appropriations subject to the
approval of committees of Congress. At the same time, the intention of Congress that the
executive branch have flexibility to transfer funds among appropriations for the Department of
Health and Human Services is plain from the language of the Act. Accordingly, the Executive
branch shall treat the portion of the proviso of Section 207 that purports to provide for
congressional committee approval of transfers as of no force and severable from the remainder of
the proviso, Section 207 and the Act.
Also, Section 217, addressing the Acting Director of NIH, and Section 622, amending the
Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997, shall be implemented in a
manner consistent with the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.
Several provisions of the bill purport to make funding available for particular projects "in
the amounts specified in the statement of the managers on the conference report accompanying
this Act." Although specifications of projects and amounts in a statement of managers cannot
satisfy the constitutional requirements of bicameral approval and presentment to you needed to
give them the force of law, your Administration will treat these specifications in a manner
reflecting the comity between the executive and legislative branches on such matters.
Recommendation
On balance, the enrolled bill provides adequate funding for your major initiatives and
does not include a large number of objectionable legislative provisions. The enrolled bill also
abides by the agreed upon funding level for FY 2002 of $686 billion. I join with the heads of the
affected Departments and agencies in recommending that you sign H.R. 3061. A signing
statement is attached for your consideration.
Sincerely,
me Danies?

of $4,000, but provides only enough funding to pay for a maximum
award of $3,600, creating a shortfall of nearly $1.3 billion.

the Pell Grant program commensurate with the maximum award. My

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
Today I have signed into law H.R. 3061, the "Departments
of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2002." The legislation provides
funding for key domestic programs, including the important
education initiatives that have been a top priority of my
Administration.
I appreciate the bipartisan effort that has gone into
producing this Act. The bill abides by the agreed-upon aggregate
funding level for Fiscal Year 2002 of $686 billion and supports
several of my Administration's key initiatives with:
- -
$10.4 billion for title I grants to close the
achievement gap between rich and poor students;
- -
$1 billion for Reading First and Early Reading
First to help schools meet the goal of ensuring
that all students can read fluently by third grade;
$2.9 billion for State grants for improving teacher
quality;
$7.5 billion for State Grants for Special Education,
an increase of $1/2 billion over FY 2001;
$23.2 billion for the National Institutes of Health
to support biomedical research to help prevent,
detect, diagnose, and treat disease and disability;
full funding for the Consolidated Health Centers to
provide quality health care to millions of uninsured
and underserved Americans;
additional resources for Drug Abuse Treatment
services to help narrow the treatment gap between
those in need of treatment and those with access to
it; and
full funding for Global HIV/AIDS activities to
reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS in developing countries,
including a further U.S. contribution to the global
trust fund to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and
tuberculosis.
2
While I am supportive of the overall bill, I have strong
concerns that this bill creates a serious fiscal problem for
2002 by underfunding the Pell Grant program, which provides
critical financial assistance to low-income students seeking
higher education. The bill mandates a Pell Grant maximum award
of $4,000, but provides only enough funding to pay for a maximum
award of $3,600, creating a shortfall of nearly $1.3 billion.
The Congress disregarded my requests to provide resources for
the Pell Grant program commensurate with the maximum award. My
Administration will ask the Congress to correct this shortfall
in the FY 2003 Budget. I am committed to maintaining a strong
Pell Grant program that ensures qualified students have access
to college, and budgeting responsibly for its full costs.
I am pleased that the final version of the bill retains
the prohibition against research in which human embryos are
destroyed, and reinforces my determination on August 9, 2001,
to support Federally funded stem cell research in an ethical
manner.
I am also pleased that the final version of the bill
retains current law regarding funding for needle exchange
programs.
The first proviso of section 207 of the Act purports to
make certain transfers between appropriations for the Department
of Health and Human Services subject to approval by the
congressional appropriations committees. Under the principles
enunciated by the U.S. Supreme Court in INS V. Chadha, the
Congress cannot by law make transfers of appropriations subject
to the approval of committees of the Congress. At the same time,
the intention of the Congress that the executive branch have
flexibility to transfer funds among appropriations for the
Department of Health and Human Services is plain from the
language of the Act. Accordingly, the executive branch shall
treat the portion of the proviso of section 207 that purports
3
to provide for congressional committee approval of transfers
how
as of no force and severable from the remainder of the proviso
section 207 and the Act.
Also, section 217, addressing the Acting Director of NIH,
and section 622, amending the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform
and Affordability Act of 1997, shall be implemented in a manner
consistent with the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.
Several provisions of the Act purport to make funding
available for particular projects "in the amounts specified
in the statement of the managers on the conference report
accompanying this Act. II Although specifications of projects
and amounts in a statement of managers cannot satisfy the
constitutional requirements of bicameral approval and presentment
to the President needed to give them the force of law, my
Administration will treat these specifications in a manner
reflecting the comity between the executive and legislative
branches on such matters.
