   April 15, 1996.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and 
                         ordered to be printed

                                           The White House,
                                        Washington, April 12, 1996.

Speaker of the House of Representatives.
    Sir: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed requests 
for FY 1996 supplemental appropriations totaling $250 million 
to intensify our Nation's drug law enforcement, treatment, and 
prevention efforts. These requests will fund high impact supply 
and demand initiatives.
    The requested increase in budget authority and outlays is 
fully offset by rescissions from funds available to the 
Department of Defense, as proposed in the accompanying Special 
Message. The rescissions will have no impact on defense 
readiness.
    The details of these requests are set forth in the enclosed 
letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
pursuant to the plan developed by the Director of the Office of 
National Drug Control Policy. I concur with her comments and 
observations.
    In addition, I am proposing revised FY 1996 appropriations 
language for the Social Security Administration that would fund 
increased levels of disability reviews.
    Five amendments are also proposed that would revise 
appropriations language contained in the FY 1997 Budget.
    This transmittal contains an FY 1997 budget amendment for 
the Legislative Branch. As required by law, budget requests for 
the Legislative Branch are transmitted without change.
            Sincerely,
                                                William J. Clinton.
    Enclosure.
