                             to be printed


                                           The White House,
                                          Washington, May 14, 1996.
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
    Sir: I ask the Congress to consider an amendment to the FY 
1997 appropriations request for the Department of Energy. This 
proposal would amend pending language to specify that, of funds 
provided, $7.9 million would be available for spent nuclear 
fuel activities in North Korea.
    This transmittal also contains an FY 1997 budget amendment 
for the Legislative Branch. As required by law, budget requests 
of the Legislative Branch are transmitted without change.
    The details of these actions 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.
