        THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURT'S FISCAL YEAR 1999 BUDGET REQUEST

       March 16, 1998.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the
             Committee on Appropriations and ordered to be printed
    To the Congress of the United States:
        In accordance with the District of Columbia Code, as
    amended, I am transmitting the District of Columbia Court's FY
    1999 budget request.
        The District of Columbia Courts has submitted a FY 1999
    budget request for $133 million for its operating expenditures
    and authorization for multiyear capital funding totalling $58
    million for courthouse renovation and improvements. My FY 1999
    Budget includes recommended funding levels of $121 million for
    operations and $21 million for capital improvements for the
    District Courts. My transmittal of the District Court's budget
    request does not represent an endorsement of its contents.
        I look forward to working with the Congress throughout the
    FY 1999 appropriation process.

                                                    William J. Clinton.
        The White House, March 16, 1998.
