    Statement on Rebuilding the Cypress Freeway in California
    October 4, 1993

        Most Americans will never forget the picture of the Cypress Freeway
    collapsed upon itself after the Loma Prieta earthquake. As repairs
    continue, I want the people of California to know that we will be there
    to get the job done. Communities around our Nation have always been able
    to count on the Federal Government to assume the cost of repairing
    Federal-aid highways hit by natural disasters. That is a commitment that
    we are helping to fulfill today.

    Note: The President's statement was included in a White House statement
    announcing the President's request to Congress for funds to rebuild the
    freeway.
