    Message to the Congress Transmitting the District of Columbia Budget and
    Supplemental Appropriations Request
    September 13, 1993

    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 fiscal year 1994 budget amendment request and
    fiscal year 1993 supplemental budget amendment request.
        The District of Columbia Government has submitted a request to
    decrease its fiscal year 1994 general fund spending authority by $36.968
    million with a reduction of 832 FTE positions. In addition, the
    District's fiscal year 1993 supplemental amendment request includes an
    increase of $7.367 million in general fund spending authority. The
    amendments are needed to address a projected operating deficit for
    fiscal year 1993 and fiscal year 1994 that was not addressed in the
    District's original budget submission pending congressional action.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
    September 13, 1993.
