 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 
``Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban 
Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 
1998'' (Public Law 105-65; H.R. 2158). 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.
    The White House, November 1, 1997.
