    Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)
        In accordance with the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control
    Act of 1974, I herewith report 24 proposed rescissions of budgetary
    resources, totaling $20 million.
        These proposed rescissions affect programs of the Departments of
    Agriculture, the Interior, and Transportation.
            Sincerely,

                                                          William J. Clinton

    Note: Identical letters were sent to Newt Gingrich, Speaker of the House
    of Representatives, and Albert Gore, Jr., President of the Senate. The
