The Democrats have refused to present a budget of their own.

The administration opposes S. 410 as reported by the Senate Agriculture Committee.

The administration supports the extension of the deadline for the report of the National Commission on Dairy Policy to March 31, 1988.

The administration opposes enactment of S. 623 unless it is amended to:— Authorize appropriations for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) of $23.6 million, $23.9 million, and $24.2 million for fiscal years 1988, 1989, and 1990…

This bill would also extend the Veterans Job Training Act, which should be allowed to expire.

I do hereby proclaim March 25, 1987, as Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy.
