    Statement on Signing Legislation Waiving Certain Enrollment Requirements
    September 30, 1996

        Today I have signed into law House Joint Resolution 197, which
    waives the printing requirements of sections 106 and 107 of Title 1 of
    the United States Code with respect to any appropriations measure of the
    104th Congress that is presented to me after the enactment of H.J. Res.
    197. I have done so to avoid any confusion as to my ability to act on
    any form of legislation presented to me after certification by the
    Committee on House Oversight of the House of Representatives that the
    form is a true enrollment.
        In signing this joint resolution, I express no view as to whether it
    is necessary to waive the provisions of Title 1 before I exercise my
    prerogatives under Article I, section 7 of the Constitution where the
    Congress has presented to me any form of bill or resolution it considers
    to be a true enrollment.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,

    September 30, 1996.
