REPORT OF PROPOSED LEGISLATION MAKING FURTHER CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS 
      FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1996--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT--PM 96

  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following message 
from the President of the United States, together with an accompanying 
report; which was referred to the Committee on Appropriations.

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 forwarding 
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.
