    Memorandum on Waivers for Environmental Management

    April 26, 1996

    Memorandum for the Secretary of the Interior

    Subject: Suspension of Subsection 119(a) of the Department of the
    Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1996, (``Act'') as set
    forth in Section 101(c) of Title I of the Omnibus Consolidated
    Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996 (H.R. 3019) Regarding the
    Mojave National Preserve.

        By the authority vested in me by subsection 119(b) of the Department
    of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1996, (``Act'')
    as set forth in section 101(c) of title I of the Omnibus Consolidated
    Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996 (H.R. 3019), and section 301
    of title 3, United States Code, I hereby suspend subsection 119(a) of
    the Act because I have determined that such suspension is appropriate
    based upon the public interest in sound environmental management,
    sustainable resource use, protection of national or locally-affected
    interests, and protection of cultural, biological, or historic
    resources.
        This suspension shall take effect immediately and shall continue
    until subsection 119(a) expires.
        You are authorized and directed to report this suspension to the
    Congress and to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.

                                                William J. Clinton
