    Statement on Signing the Continuing Appropriations Resolution
    October 21, 1993

        Today I have signed into law H.J. Res. 281, a Continuing Resolution
    that funds the operations of the Federal Government during October 22-
    28, 1993.
        A Continuing Resolution is necessary at this time in order to keep
    the Government functioning while the Congress completes the
    appropriations process.
        I commend the Congress for presenting me with a funding measure that
    provides for a simple, temporary extension of normal government
    operations and is free of extraneous amendments. I urge the Congress to
    complete the regular appropriations process by October 28th so that an
    additional Continuing Resolution can be avoided.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
    October 21, 1993.

    Note: H.J. Res. 281, approved October 21, was assigned Public Law No.
    103-113. This statement was released by the Office of the Press
    Secretary on October 22.
