Message to the Congress Transmitting the District of Columbia Budget 
Amendment Request
September 9, 1992

To the Congress of the United States:
    In accordance with the District of Columbia Self-Government and 
Governmental Reorganization Act, I am transmitting the District of 
Columbia Government's 1993 Budget amendment request.
    The District of Columbia Government has submitted a request to 
increase its FY 1993 capital authority by $60 million and to reprogram 
$20 million of capital authority from an existing project. The requested 
increase in authority is needed to fund the District's share of the 
remaining 13.5 miles of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit 
Authority Metrorail system in accordance with the construction schedule 
adopted in the Fifth Interim Capital Contributions Agreement.

                                                             George Bush

The White House,
September 9, 1992.
