  For Immediate Release                            April 24, 1993
  
                     STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
  
       Today I have signed into law H.R. 1335, the "Emergency 
  Supplemental Appropriations" Act of 1993.  This Act provides 
  $4 billion in emergency unemployment compensation to 
  approximately 1.9 million unemployed American workers.  This 
  critical assistance will help the unemployed and their families 
  with grocery bills, mortgage payments and other expenses while 
  they seek new employment.  I am disappointed that the job-
  producing elements of the original version of the legislation 
  were forced to be removed from it.
  
       Our efforts to create jobs, increase investment, and 
  safeguard our communities and our children, were frustrated 
  by the use of parliamentary tactics in the Senate in the 
  furtherance of politics-as-usual.  The losers, in the end, 
  were jobless Americans looking for the dignity of employment, 
  and communities across the United States looking forward to 
  meeting unmet national needs through growth-oriented efforts 
  provided by the legislation in its original form.  It is my 
  hope that the Congress will consider further legislation to 
  produce the jobs that are needed to strengthen and sustain the 
  current economic recovery.
  
       	    	      	   	     WILLIAM J. CLINTON
  
  THE WHITE HOUSE,
      April 23, 1993.
