The President transmitted to the Congress fiscal year 1988 appropriations language for the Departments of Defense-Military and Justice and fiscal year 1989 amendments to the request for appropriations for the legislative branch, the Departments of Commerce and Health and Human Services, and the Veterans Administration.

The fiscal year 1988 appropriations language changes would withdraw a previously requested increase in the general transfer authority of the Department of Defense-Military because required transfers are being accomplished within current authority. These changes would also transfer funds within the Department of Justice to relocate the U.S. Marshals Service, provide for the increased number of unsentenced U.S. prisoners, and reimburse the District of Columbia for the care of Federal detainees in St. Elizabeths Hospital.

A $5 million reduction in fiscal year 1989 for the Department of Commerce reflects savings associated with the delayed deployment of the Patent and Trademark office's automated patent system.

A $605.4 million increase for the Department of Health and Human Services would provide for fiscal year 1989 and prefiscal year 1989 State foster care claims. This increase reflects increased State claims for administration and training expenses. This proposal includes a $35.4 million reduction in adoptive assistance claims, which reflects a reestimate of anticipated claims. This is a mandatory program and does not affect the bipartisan budget agreement.

The fiscal year 1989 proposals for the Veterans Administration are technical in nature and stem primarily from three recently enacted public laws that expand a number of veterans' programs.

Included in the amendment proposals are fiscal year 1989 requests of the legislative branch totaling $2.8 million.

These proposals are fully consistent with the bipartisan budget agreement.
