[House Document 105-109] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] 105th Congress, 1st Session - - - - - - - - - - House Document 105-109 AMENDMENTS TO THE FISCAL YEAR 1998 APPROPRIATIONS __________ COMMUNICATION from THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES transmitting AMENDMENTS TO THE FISCAL YEAR 1998 APPROPRIATIONS REQUESTS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE, AND THE ARMS CONTROL AND DISARMAMENT AGENCY, PURSUANT TO 31 U.S.C. 1106(b)July 22, 1997.--Referred to the Committee on Appropriations and ordered to be printed The White House, Washington, July 17, 1997 Speaker of the House of Representatives. Sir: I ask Congress to consider the enclosed amendments to the FY 1998 appropriations requests for the Department of Labor, the Department of State, and the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. The Department of Labor proposal would provide $6.2 million to administer the ``Welfare-to-Work Jobs'' program. An additional $13 million is requested for the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency for implementation of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Finally, a technical budget amendment is submitted to adjust the user fee treatment proposed in the FY 1998 budget for the Department of State. These requests would not increase the budget totals. The $13 million increase for the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency is offset by a reduction to a Department of State account. Budgetary resources for the Department of Labor request and the user fee proposals for the Department of State are already assumed in the pending request. The details of these actions are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. I concur with his comments and observations. Sincerely, William J. Clinton. Enclosure.
