                       THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

                                  transmitting

        THE CANCELLATION OF THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS OF DISCRETIONARY BUDGET
    AUTHORITY CONTAINED IN THE MILITARY CONSTRUCTION APPROPRIATIONS ACT OF
                       1998, PURSUANT TO PUB. L. 104-130

       October 6, 1997.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the
     Committees on the Budget and Appropriations and ordered to be printed
    To the Congress of the United States:
        In accordance with the Line Item Veto Act, I hereby cancel
    the dollar amounts of discretionary budget authority, as
    specified in the attached reports, contained in the ``Military
    Construction Appropriations Act, 1998'' (Public Law 105-45;
    H.R. 2016). I have determined that the cancellation of these
    amounts will reduce the Federal budget deficit, will not impair
    any essential Government functions, and will not harm the
    national interest.

                                                    William J. Clinton.
