    Statement on Signing the Departments of Labor, Health and Human
    Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1995
    September 30, 1994

        Today I have signed into law H.R. 4606, the ``Department of Labor,
    Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies
    Appropriations Act, 1995.''
        This Act provides funding for the Departments of Labor, Health and
    Human Services, and Education; the Corporation for National and
    Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; and several
    smaller agencies. Programs within these agencies address the training
    and employment needs of our Nation's work force, the Federal role in our
    education system, and fundamental elements of our health care network.
        This Act provides funding for a number of my high-priority
    investment proposals within the Departments of Labor, Health and Human
    Services, and Education, and the Corporation for National and Community
    Service. These include the Head Start program, Goals 2000 program,
    School-to-Work Opportunities program, dislocated workers assistance,
    education for the disadvantaged, AIDS treatment programs authorized
    under the Ryan White CARE Act, and the National Institutes of Health.
        I am pleased that the Act provides my full request for childhood
    immunizations. This program will ensure that all children who do not
    have health insurance coverage for immunizations have access to
    immunizations at the appropriate age.
        The Act provides funding for investment initiatives for automation
    and disability processing within the Social Security Administration
    (SSA). This will help SSA improve the quality of service to millions of
    Americans.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
    September 30, 1994.

    Note: H.R. 4606, approved September 30, was assigned Public Law No. 103-
    333. This statement was released by the Office of the Press Secretary on
    October 1.
