                                           The White House,
                                     Washington, November 20, 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 ``Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1998'' 
(H.R. 2160). 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.
