<GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT>
October 6, 1995.--Message and accompanying bill ordered to be printed
To the House of Representatives:
I am returning today without my approval H.R. 1854, the
``Legislative Branch Appropriations Bill, FY 1996.''
H.R. 1854 is, in fact, a disciplined bill, one that I would
sign under different circumstances. But, at this point,
Congress has completed action on only two of the 13 FY 1996
appropriations bills: this one and H.R. 1817, the Military
Construction appropriations bill. Thus, the vast majority of
Federal activities lack final FY 1996 funding and are operating
under a short-term continuing resolution.
I appreciate the willingness of Congress to work with my
Administration to produce an acceptable short-term continuing
resolution before completing action on the regular, full-year
appropriations bills for FY 1996. I believe, however, that it
would be inappropriate to provide full-year regular funding for
Congress and its offices while funding for most other
activities of Government remains incomplete, unresolved, and
uncertain.
As I said two months ago, I don't think Congress should
take care of its own business before it takes care of the
people's business. I stated that if the congressional
leadership were to follow through on its plan and to send me
its own funding bill before finishing work on the rest of the
budget, I would veto it. I am now following through on that
commitment.
I urge the Congress to move forward promptly on completing
the FY 1996 appropriations bills in a form that I can accept.
William J. Clinton.
The White House, October 3, 1995.
H.R. 1854
One Hundred Fourth Congress of the United States of America, at the
First Session, Begun and Held at the City of Washington on Wednesday,
the Fourth Day of January, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-five
