T60.15 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT—

BUDGET IMPOUNDMENT

The SPEAKER tempore, Mr. COMBEST, laid before the House a message

from the President, which was read as

follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

In accordance with the Congressional

Budget and Impoundment Control Act

of 1974, I herewith report three rescission proposals, totaling $132.0 million.

The proposed rescissions affect the

Departments of Justice and Transportation, and the National Aeronautics

and Space Administration.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON.

THE WHITE HOUSE, May 2, 1995.

By unanimous consent, the message,

together with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on

Appropriations and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 104–59).

T60.16 OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING

On motion of Mr. LUCAS, by unanimous consent, the Committee on the

Judiciary was discharged from further

consideration of the following resolution (H. Res. 135):

Whereas on Wednesday, April 19, 1995, a car

bomb exploded outside the Alfred P. Murrah

Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, collapsing the north face of this 9-story concrete building, killing and injuring innocent

and defenseless children and adults;

Whereas authorities are calling this the

‘‘deadliest terrorist attack ever on United

States soil’’;

Whereas Federal law provides for the imposition of the death penalty for terrorist murder; and

Whereas additional antiterrorism measures are now pending for consideration in the

United States House of Representatives:

Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the House of

Representatives—

(1) condemns, in the strongest possible

terms, the heinous bombing attack against

innocent children and adults at the Alfred P.

Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City;

(2) sends its heartfelt condolences to the

families, friends, and loved ones of those

whose lives were taken away by this abhorrent and cowardly act; and expresses its

hopes for the rapid and complete recovery of

those wounded in the bombing;

(3) applauds all those courageous rescue

and volunteer workers who are giving unselfishly of themselves, and commends all law

enforcement officials who are working determinedly to bring the perpetrators to justice;

(4) supports the President’s and the United

States Attorney General’s position that Federal prosecutors will seek the maximum penalty allowed by law, including the death penalty, for those responsible;

(5) commends the rapid actions taken by

the President to provide assistance to the

victims of the explosion and for promptly beginning an investigation to find the perpetrators of this crime, and it urges the

President to use all necessary means to continue this effort until the perpetrators and

their accomplices are found and appropriately punished; and

(6) will expeditiously approve legislation to

strengthen the authority and resources of all
