HIS VETO OF H.R. 1977, A BILL MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE DEPARTMENT 
    OF THE INTERIOR AND RELATED AGENCIES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING 
               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES




    December 18 (legislative day, December 15), 1995.--Message and 
   accompanying bill referred to the Committee on Appropriations and 
                         ordered to be printed.
To the House of Representatives:
    I am returning herewith without my approval H.R. 1977, the 
``Department of the Interior and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 1996.''
    This bill is unacceptable because it would unduly restrict 
our ability to protect America's natural resources and cultural 
heritage, promote the technology we need for long-term energy 
conservation and economic growth, and provide adequate health, 
educational, and other services to Native Americans.
    First, the bill makes wrong-headed choices with regard to 
the management and preservation of some of our most precious 
assets. In the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, it would 
allow harmful clear-cutting, require the sale of timber at 
unsustainable levels, and dictate the use of an outdated forest 
plan for the next 2 fiscal years.
    In the Columbia River basin in the Pacific Northwest, the 
bill would impede implementation of our comprehensive plan for 
managing public lands--the Columbia River Basin Ecosystem 
Management Project. It would do this by prohibiting publication 
of a final Environmental Impact Statement or Record of Decision 
and requiring the exclusion of information on fisheries and 
watersheds. The result: a potential return to legal gridlock on 
timber harvesting, grazing, mining, and other economically 
important activities.
    And in the California desert, the bill undermines our 
designation of the Mojave National Preserve by cutting funding 
for the Preserve and shifting responsibility for its management 
from the National Park Service to the Bureau of Land 
Management. The Mojave is our newest national park and part of 
the 1994 California Desert Protection Act--the largest addition 
to our park system in the lower 48 States. It deserves our 
support.
    Moreover, the bill would impose a misguided moratorium on 
future listings and critical habitat designations under the 
Endangered Species Act. And in the case of one endangered 
species, the marbled murrelet, it would eliminate the normal 
flexibility for both the Departments of the Interior and 
Agriculture to use new scientific information in managing our 
forests.
    Second, the bill slashes funding for the Department of 
Energy's energy conservation programs. This is short-sighted 
and unwise. Investment in the technology of energy conservation 
is important for our Nation's long-term economic strength and 
environmental health. We should be doing all we can to maintain 
and sharpen our competitive edge, not back off.
    Third, this bill fails to honor our historic obligations 
toward Native Americans. It provides inadequate funding for the 
Indian Health Service and our Indian Education programs. And 
the cuts targeted at key programs in the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs' are crippling--including programs that support child 
welfare; adult vocational training; law enforcement and 
detention services; community fire protection; and general 
assistance to low-income Indian individuals and families. 
Moreover, the bill would unfairly single out certain self-
governance tribes in Washington State for punitive treatment. 
Specifically, it would penalize these tribes financially for 
using legal remedies in disputes with non-tribal owners of land 
within reservations.
    Finally, the bill represents a dramatic departure from our 
commitment to support for the arts and humanities. It cuts 
funding of the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities 
so deeply as to jeopardize their capacity to keep providing the 
cultural, educational, and artistic programs that enrich 
America's communities large and small.
    For these reasons and others my Administration has conveyed 
to the Congress in earlier communications, I cannot accept this 
bill. It does not reflect my priorities or the values of the 
American people. I urge the Congress to send me a bill that 
truly serves the interests of our Nation and our citizens.

                                                William J. Clinton.

        respectively; and
            (ii) are in addition to timber sales for which funds are 
        otherwise available in this Act or other appropriations Acts; 
        and
        (B) twenty-five percent shall be available, without fiscal year 
    limitation or further appropriation, to expend on the backlog of 
    recreation projects on lands within the National Forest System and 
    lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, respectively.
    (2) Expenditures under this subsection for preparation of timber

subsection (b) or under this subsection, minus the amounts necessary 
for State and local government payments and other necessary deposits, 
shall be deposited into the Fund from which funds were expended on such 
sale. Such deposited revenues shall be available for preparation of 
additional timber sales and completion of additional recreation 
projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in subsection 
(b).
    (d) The Secretary concerned shall terminate all payments into the 
Agriculture Fund or the Interior Fund, and pay any unobligated funds in 
the affected Fund into the United States Treasury as miscellaneous 
receipts, whenever the Secretary concerned makes a finding, published 
in the Federal Register, that sales sufficient to achieve the total 
allowable sales quantity of the National Forest System for the Forest 
Service or the allowable sales level for the Oregon and California 
grant lands for the Bureau of Land Management, respectively, have been 
prepared.

1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. 951), sets out findings and purposes for 
which the National Endowment for the Arts was established, among which 
are--
        (1) ``The arts and humanities belong to all the people of the 
    United States'';
        (2) ``The arts and humanities reflect the high place accorded 
    by the American people .  .  . to the fostering of mutual respect 
    for the diverse beliefs and values of all persons and groups'';
        (3) ``Public funding of the arts and humanities is subject to 
    the conditions that traditionally govern the use of public money 
    [and] such funding should contribute to public support and 
    confidence in the use of taxpayer funds''; and
        (4) ``Public funds provided by the Federal Government must 
    ultimately serve public purposes the Congress defines''.
    (b) Additional Congressional Findings.--Congress further finds and 
declares that the use of scarce funds, which have been taken from all 
taxpayers of the United States, to promote, disseminate, sponsor, or 
produce any material or performance that--
        (1) denigrates the religious objects or religious beliefs of 
    the adherents of a particular religion, or
        (2) depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual 
    or excretory activities or organs,
is contrary to the express purposes of the National Foundation on the 
Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965, as amended.
    (c) Prohibition on Funding That Is Not Consistent With the Purposes 
of the Act.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none of the 
scarce funds which have been taken from all taxpayers of the United 
States and made available under this Act to the National Endowment for 
the Arts may be used to promote, disseminate, sponsor, or produce any 
material or performance that--
        (1) denigrates the religious objects or religious beliefs of 
    the adherents of a particular religion, or
        (2) depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual 
    or excretory activities or organs,
and this prohibition shall be strictly applied without regard to the 
content or viewpoint of the material or performance.
    (d) Section Not To Affect Other Works.--Nothing in this section 
shall be construed to affect in any way the freedom of any artist or 
performer to create any material or performance using funds which have 
not been made available under this Act to the National Endowment for 
the Arts.
