 REPORT RELATIVE TO TAX BENEFITS--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT RECEIVED 
              DURING THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE SENATE--PM 60

  Under the authority of the order of the Senate of January 7, 1997, 
the Secretary of the Senate on August 11, 1997, received a message from 
the President of the United States, together with an accompanying 
report; which was referred jointly, pursuant to Public Law 93-344 as 
amended, to the Committee on the Budget and to the Committee on 
Finance.

                                              The White House,

                                      Washington, August 11, 1997.
     Hon. Albert Gore, Jr.
     President of the Senate,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. President: In accordance with the Line Item Veto 
     Act, I hereby cancel two limited tax benefits, as specified 
     in the attached reports, contained in the ``Taxpayer Relief 
     Act of 1997'' (Public Law 105-34; H.R. 2014). I have 
     determined that each of these cancellations will reduce the 
     Federal budget deficit, will not impair any essential 
     Government functions, and will not harm the national 
     interest. This letter, together with its attachments, 
     constitutes a special message under section 1022 of the 
     Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, as 
     amended.
           Sincerely,
                                               William J. Clinton.
