   REPORT OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO FISCAL YEAR 1997 APPROPRIATIONS 
              REQUESTS--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT--PM 162

  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.

                                              The White House,

                                        Washington, July 22, 1996.
     The President of the Senate.
       Sir: I ask the Congress to consider amendments to the FY 
     1997 appropriations requests for the Department of Defense, 
     the Department of the Treasury, the General Services 
     Administration, and the Office of Personnel Management. These 
     amendments would not increase the proposed budget totals.
       The details of these actions are set forth in the enclosed 
     letter from the Acting Director of the Office of Management 
     and Budget. I concur with his comments and observations.
           Sincerely,
     William J. Clinton.
