 DESIGNATION OF FUNDING AS AN EMERGENCY REQUIREMENT--MESSAGE FROM THE 
          PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 119-31)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message 
from the President of the United States; which was read and, together 
with the accompanying papers, referred to the Committee on 
Appropriations and ordered to be printed.

To the Congress of the United States:
  In accordance with section 1110 of the Full-Year Continuing 
Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (H.R. 1968; the ``Act'') and 
the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA), 
I hereby designate as emergency requirements 16 appropriations 
(including the transfer and repurposing of funds) so designated by the 
Congress in the Act pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of BBEDCA, as 
outlined in the enclosed list of accounts.
  My designation does not include the remaining 11 appropriations--
totaling nearly $3 billion--that were improperly designated by the 
Congress as emergency in the Act that stem from the June 2023 side deal 
with the Democrats to evade the spending caps signed into law, and I do 
not concur that the added spending is truly for emergency needs.
