    Statement on Signing the Continuing Appropriations Resolution
    September 30, 1993

        Today I have signed into law House Joint Resolution 267, a
    Continuing Resolution that funds the operations of the Federal
    Government during October 1-21, 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 21 so that a
    second Continuing Resolution can be avoided.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
    September 30, 1993.

    Note: H.J. Res. 267, approved September 30, was assigned Public Law No.
