"I hereby submit to the Congress, as required under section 1022(c)(1) of the Act."

"The executive branch must utilize all elements of national power to effectively confront the threat posed by al-Qa'ida and its associated forces."

"I hereby submit to the Congress in accordance with section 1022(a)(4) of the Act."
