Hon. Newt Gingrich,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Sir: I ask Congress to consider an amendment to the FY 1998 
appropriations request for the Compensation program of the 
Department of Veterans Affairs. This amendment would not affect 
the proposed discretionary budget totals.
    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 his comments and observations.
            Sincerely,
                                                William J. Clinton.
    Enclosure.
