Anticounterfeiting Consumer Protection Act of 1996

To designate the bridge as the 'Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge'

This preserves audit coverage for 95 percent of Federal assistance.

It will help save millions of dollars by reducing the need for costly audits without reducing essential Federal oversight.

When you see a pattern of contributions and then a dramatic difference in the policies, it is the policies and their impact on the American people that I'm most concerned about.

The bill will reduce the audit burden for well-managed entities.

Our strategy is working, and this is no time to turn back.

What I seek to highlight is the difference in our policies.

Unemployment has dropped to 5.3 percent.

But our analysis shows that of the new jobs, the vast majority are in higher income job categories and are full-time jobs.

This Act will help make Government work better by reducing the burden and cost of Federal audit requirements on State and local governments and nonprofit organizations.

We have two things to celebrate: more than 10 million new jobs and a continued hope for a greater peace and stability in the world.

I am pleased to sign this important legislation.

S. 1579 builds on and improves upon the 1984 Act in several ways.

We have the most solid American economy in a generation.

S. 1579 will improve the oversight of Federal assistance programs, totaling over $250 billion annually.
