Scarce TLS as president, one page, 6.75 x 9, White House letterhead, November 17, 2003. Letter to Congressman C. W. ‘Bill’ Young. In full: “Thank you for your personal efforts to pass H.R. 3289, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense and for the Reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan, 2004. These funds are vital in supporting our ongoing operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere in America’s War on Terror. I appreciate your dedication to our troops, to the security of the American people, and to freedom and peace in the world.” In very fine condition.

On October 14, 2003, Republican Congressman Bill Young of Florida became the sole sponsor of an ‘act making emergency supplemental appropriations for defense and for the reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan.’ Passed by the House on October 31st and the Senate three days later, the $87.5 billion bill—the largest emergency spending bill ever sough by a president—was signed into law by Bush on November 6, 2003, as the “Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense and for the Reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan, 2004.” Written to the Congressman who advocated for this crucial bill—also a longtime friend of Bush’s, and the longest serving Congressman in history—this is an excellent letter relating to the president’s relentless War on Terror.
