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
