  LEGISLATION PROVIDING FOR CLEAN EXTENSION OF CONTINUING RESOLUTION--
            MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore 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 the Committee on Government Reform and 
Oversight and ordered to be printed.

To the Congress of the United States:
  In declaring my intention to disapprove House Joint Resolution 122, 
the further continuing resolution for fiscal year 1996, I stated my 
desire to approve promptly a clean extension of the continuing 
resolution that expired on November 13. Accordingly, I am forward the 
enclosed legislation that would provide for such an extension. This 
legislation also provides that all Federal employees furloughed during 
the Government shutdown through no fault of their own will be 
compensated at their ordinary rate for the period of the furlough.
  I urge the Congress to act on this legislation promptly and to return 
it to me for signing.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, November 16, 1995.
