  October 24, 1995.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and 
                         ordered to be printed
                                           The White House,
                                      Washington, October 23, 1995.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives.
    Sir: In accordance with provisions of Public Law 103-317, 
the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, 
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, FY 1995, I am 
transmitting a request to make available appropriations 
totaling $125,000,000 in budget authority for the Small 
Business Administration (SBA).
    The funds to be made available are for SBA's Disaster Loan 
Program. Due to higher-than-anticipated disaster costs, 
particularly those associated with Hurricane Marilyn and 
Hurricane Opal, this essential program has run out of 
resources.
    I designate the $125,000,000 made available as an emergency 
requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(D)(i) of the Balanced 
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended.
    The details of this action are set forth in the enclosed 
letter from the Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget. I concur with her comments and observations.
            Sincerely,
                                                William J. Clinton.
    Enclosure.
