This Statement of Administration Policy provides the Administration's views on H.R. 4059, the Military Construction Appropriations Bill, FY 1999, as reported by the House Appropriations Committee. Your consideration of the Administration's views would be appreciated.
The Committee has added $580 million to the President's request for 90 unrequested projects and for other program increases, partially offset by $130 million in reductions to requested items. The Administration urges that the unrequested funding be deleted, and funding for requested programs be restored.
