Bill Clinton actually said...

I signed this bill recognizing that the Congress has indeed made some progress since October 3.

I am pleased that a provision contained in an earlier version of the bill was removed from the bill.

Again, I urge the Congress to meet its responsibilities by sending me the remaining regular FY 1996 appropriations bills in acceptable form.

The bill also includes legislative riders that were tacked onto the bill without any hearings or adequate public input.
