                                      Washington, October 16, 1997.
Hon. Newt Gingrich,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: In accordance with the Line Item Veto 
Act, I hereby cancel the dollar amount of discretionary budget 
authority, as specified in the attached report, contained in 
the ``Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 
1998'' (Public Law 105-61; H.R. 2378). I have determined that 
the cancellation of this amount will reduce the Federal budget 
deficit, will not impair any essential Government functions, 
and will not harm the national interest. This letter, together 
with its attachment, constitutes a special message under 
section 1022 of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment 
Control Act of 1974, as amended.
            Sincerely,
                                                William J. Clinton.
