    Message to the Congress Transmitting Proposed Temporary Public Debt
    Limit Increase Legislation
    November 13, 1995

    To the Congress of the United States:
        In disapproving H.R. 2586, a bill that would have, among other
    things, provided for a temporary increase in the public debt, I stated
    my desire to approve promptly a simple increase in the debt limit.
    Accordingly, I am forwarding the enclosed legislation that would provide
    for such an increase.
        I urge the Congress to act on this legislation promptly and to
    return it to me for signing.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,

    November 13, 1995.
