Message to the Congress Transmitting the District of Columbia Courts' 
Fiscal Year 2000 Budget Request
February 5, 1999

To the Congress of the United States:
    In accordance with the District of Columbia Code, as amended, I am 
transmitting the District of Columbia Courts' FY 2000 Budget request.
    The District of Columbia Courts have submitted a FY 2000 Budget 
request for $131.6 million for its operating expenditures and $17.4 
million for courthouse renovation and improvements. My FY 2000 Budget 
includes recommended funding levels of $128.4 million for operations and 
$9.0 million for capital improvements for the District Courts. My 
transmittal of the District of Columbia Courts' budget request does not 
represent an endorsement of its contents.
    I look forward to working with the Congress throughout the FY 2000 
appropriation process.

                                                      William J. Clinton

The White House,
