   CANCELLATION OF TWO LIMITED TAX BENEFITS WITH RESPECT TO TAXPAYER 
RELIEF ACT OF 1997--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. 
                           DOC. NO. 105-116)

  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following message from the 
President of the United States; which was read and, together with the 
accompanying papers, pursuant to section 1025(a) of the Congressional 
Budget Act, referred to the Committee on the Budget and the Committee 
on Ways and Means and ordered to be printed:

                                              The White House,

                                      Washington, August 11, 1997.
     Hon. Newt Gingrich,
     Speaker of the House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: 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.
