 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 
``Department of Transportation and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 1998'' (Public Law 105-66; H.R. 2169). 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.
