DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA GOVERNMENT'S 1995 BUDGET REQUEST--MESSAGE FROM THE 
                     PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Wise) laid before the House the 
following message from the President of the United States, which was 
read and, together with the accompanying papers, without objection, 
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 Self-Government and 
Governmental Reorganization Act, I am transmitting the District of 
Columbia Government's 1995 budget request and 1994 revised budget 
request.
  The District of Columbia Government has submitted a 1995 budget 
request for $3,409 million in 1995 that includes a Federal payment of 
$674 million, the amount authorized and requested by the Mayor and the 
City Council. The 1995 Federal payment level proposed in my fiscal year 
1995 budget of $670 million is also included in the District's 1995 
budget as an alternative level. My transmittal of the District's 
budget, as required by law, does not represent an endorsement of its 
contents.
  I look forward to working with the Congress throughout the 1995 
appropriations process.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, May 4, 1994.
