    Statement on Signing the Accountability of Tax Dollars Act of 2002
    November 7, 2002

        Earlier today I signed into law H.R. 4685, the Accountability for
    Tax Dollars Act. I was pleased to sign this legislation, and I thank
    Congressman Pat Toomey for his hard work on this bill.
        The American people deserve an efficient Government. Requiring
    agencies to provide accurate financial information helps ensure their
    accountability.

    Note: H.R. 4685, approved November 7, was assigned Public Law No. 107-
    289.
