                                           The White House,
                                      Washington, October 17, 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 amounts of discretionary budget 
authority, as specified in the attached reports, contained in 
the ``Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act, 1998'' 
(H.R. 2203, approved October 13, 1997). 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. This 
letter, together with its attachments, constitutes a special 
message under section 1022 of the Congressional Budget and 
Impoundment Control Act of 1974, as amended.
            Sincerely,
                                                William J. Clinton.
