Res. 67 - Mental Illness Awareness Week Sponsor - Sen. Quayle (R) Indiana and 30 others Last Day for Action October 8, 1985 - Tuesday. The designated week begins on October 6, 1985. Purpose Designates the week beginning October 6, 1985, as "Mental Illness Awareness Week." Agency Recommendations Office of Management and Budget Approval Department of Health and Human Services Approval (Informally) Discussion S.J. Res. 67, which passed both Houses by voice vote, designates October 6 through October 12, 1985, as "Mental Illness Awareness Week," and requests the President to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of this country to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. The enrolled resolution notes that mental illness is a problem of grave concern, though one widely but unnecessarily feared and misunderstood. It states that between thirty-one and forty-one million Americans annually suffer from diagnosable mental disorders involving significant disability, and that mental illness costs our Nation $87 billion annually, including lost productivity. S.J. Res. 67 points out that in recent years there has been an unparalleled growth in scientific knowledge about mental illness which has generated a new threshold of opportunity for future research advances. The resolution is designed to bring about greater public understanding and encourage continued research in the treatment and care of those suffering from mental illness. 2 An appropriate proclamation will be drafted and forwarded to the White House for issuance in a timely manner.

Chew Staff Secretary Ext. 2702 OHEO OF RESIDENCE THE UNITED EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503 27 September 27, 1985 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT Subject: Enrolled Resolution S.J. Res. 127 - Congressional Consent to Additional Authorities for a Bi-State Development Agency Sponsors - Sen. Danforth (R) Missouri and 3 others Last Day for Action Purpose Provides the consent of Congress to additional authorities for the Bi-State Development Agency of the Missouri-Illinois Metropolitan District. Agency Recommendations Office of Management and Budget Approval Department of Justice No objection Environmental Protection Agency No objection Discussion The Bi-State Development Agency of the Missouri-Illinois Metropolitan District was created by agreement between the States of Missouri and Illinois in 1950 pursuant to the consent of Congress (Public Law 81-743). (The Constitution requires the consent of Congress to agreements or compacts between the States.) The Agency is responsible for the planning, construction, and maintenance of various municipal facilities (e.g., bridges and airports) in an area encompassing the City of St. Louis, Missouri, and several nearby counties in Illinois. According to the House Committee on the Judiciary report on S.J. Res. 127, the enrolled resolution would provide the consent of Congress to additional authorities granted the Agency by new laws passed by the States of Missouri and Illinois. The new laws authorize an increase in the interest rate ceiling on the Agency's revenue bonds (from 6 to 14 percent), provide the Agency with greater flexibility in managing its properties, and permit the construction of a resource recovery facility capable of generating steam energy. 2 In granting its consent to the original compact in 1950, Congress required that any additional powers provided to the Agency must be approved by Congress. S.J. Res. 127 fulfills this requirement and expressly reserves the right of Congress to amend or repeal the consent granted. The enrolled resolution also provides that the new powers conferred on the Agency shall be effective retroactive to January 1, 1983. This is the effective date of the new State laws concerning the additional authorities for the Agency. S.J. Res. 127 passed the House by a vote of 373-2 and the Senate by voice vote. naomi Acting Assistant R Director Sweeney for Legislative Reference S.J. Res. 127 Ainety-ninth Congress of the Hnited States of Am AT THE FIRST SESSION Begun and held at the City of Washington on Thursday, the third day of January, one thousand nine hundred and eighty-five RECEIVED SEP 26 1985 HOUSE THE WHITE Joint Resolution To grant the consent of Congress to certain additional powers conferred upon the Bi-State Development Agency by the States of Missouri and Illinois. Whereas, the Congress in consenting to the compact between Mis- souri and Illinois creating the Bi-State Development Agency and the Bi-State Metropolitan District provided that no power shall be exercised by the Bi-State Agency under the provisions of article III of such compact until such power has been conferred upon the Bi-State Agency by the legislatures of the States to the compact and approved by an Act of Congress; and Whereas, such States have now enacted certain legislation in order to confer certain additional powers on such Bi-State Development Agency: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That (a) the consent of the Congress is hereby given to the additional powers conferred on the Bi-State Development Agency by- (1) Senate Bill 416, Laws of Missouri 1977; Public Act 80-377 (Senate Bill 179), Laws of Illinois 1977; (2) Senate Bill 589, Laws of Missouri 1980; Public Act 81-589 (Senate Bill 23), Laws of Illinois 1979; Public Act 81-1419 (Senate Bill 1597), Laws of Illinois 1980; and (3) Senate Bill 395, Laws of Missouri 1981; Public Act 82-950 (House Bill 2304), Laws of Illinois 1982. (b) The powers conferred by the Acts consented to in subsection (a) shall be effective as of January 1, 1983. SEC. 2. The provisions of the Act of August 31, 1950 (64 Stat. 568) shall apply to the additional powers approved under this joint resolution to the same extent as if such additional powers were conferred under the provisions of the compact consented to in such Act. S.J. Res. 127-2 SEC. 3. The right to alter, amend, or repeal this joint resolution is expressly reserved. SEC. 4. The right is hereby reserved to the Congress to require the disclosure and furnishing of such information or data by the Bi-State Development Agency as is deemed appropriate by the Congress.

Chew Staff Secretary Ext. 2702 PREDIDENT EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE SHIPPED OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET VETER / the WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503 SEP 30 1985 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT SUBJECT: Enrolled Bill H.J. Res. 388 -- Continuing Resolution for the Fiscal Year 1986 Sponsor: Rep. Whitten (D), Mississippi Last Day for Action October 9, 1985 Signature as soon as possible and no later than September 30 is recommended in order to avoid disruption of agency operations dependent on the authority and appropriations contained in the continuing resolution. Current appropriations expire September 30, 1985. Purpose This resolution provides funds for continuing the activities of the Federal government through November 14, 1985 or the date of enactment of pending appropriation bills, whichever occurs first. Agency Recommendations Office of Management and Budget Approval Other affected agencies Approval assumed Discussion As of October 1, none of the thirteen regular appropriations bills will have been enacted. The enrolled resolution provides funding for the Federal government for 45 days. For the first time in many years, the Congress has successfully passed a continuing resolution in a routine and non-controversial manner. It is free of non-essential or non-germane provisions. The enrolled resolution provides funding or other authority for projects and activities that are covered by each of the thirteen appropriation bills. 2 The following bills are funded at the current rate: Defense Foreign Assistance Military Construction Labor/HHS/Education The following bills are funded at the lower of the House-passed or Senate-passed. Energy/Water Legislative Branch Treasury/Postal The remaining seven bills are funded at the lower of the current rate or House-passed rate. These bills have passed the House, but have not yet passed the Senate. If any of these bills pass the Senate before October 1, the funding formula will change to the lower of the House-passed or Senate-passed rate. Agriculture Commerce/Justice/State District of Columbia HUD/Independent Agencies Interior Transportation While the overall funding levels are not ideal -- defense spending is lower and non-defense spending higher than we would like -- there are no insurmountable problems for the short duration of this resolution. The Congress is currently working steadily on individual appropriation bills, and we are closely monitoring their progress to ensure spending levels consistent with your policies. Recommendation I recommend that you sign the enrolled resolution. A signing statement is attached. Joseph R. Wright, Jr. Acting Director Attachment September 30, 1985 Signing Statement by the President I am pleased that the Congress has passed an acceptable Continuing Resolution. Now, action on the regular fiscal year 1986 appropriations bills must proceed without delay. I urge the Congress to pass all the individual bills promptly within the levels assumed in the Congressional budget resolution and to present to me bills that are consistent with both the need for restraint in domestic spending and support of the defense and international interests of the Nation. As we meet with the Soviets to discuss sensitive and important arms control issues, it is paticularly important that we not be hindered by lack of Congressional action on, or inadequate support for, our FY 86 national security programs. If the Congress cannot hold spending at its own budget resolution guidelines, we will not have meaningful deficit reduction. The performance to date is not encouraging. Only two of the House-passed Appropriations bills for domestic programs are within the guidlelines of the budget resolution. We will be working with the Congress to achieve a more responsible outcome. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 2, 1985 MEMORANDUM FOR DAVID L. CHEW STAFF SECRETARY FROM: JOHN G.

Wright (D) Texas and 45 others Last Day for Action October 8, 1985 - Tuesday Purpose Calls on the President to provide appropriate relief and rehabilitation assistance to Mexico as a result of the devastating earthquake of September 19, 1985. Agency Recommendations Office of Management and Budget Approval Agency for International Development Approval Department of State Approval (Signing statement attached) Discussion H.J. Res. 394 extends this nation's profound sympathies to the people and Government of Mexico and calls on the President to provide all appropriate relief and rehabilitation assistance to help prevent further loss of life, alleviate suffering, and safeguard the public health in Mexico. In addition, the enrolled resolution states that the United States, in consultation with the Government of Mexico, is prepared to cooperate with Mexico in long-term efforts to aid its recovery from the earthquake's effects. H.J. Res. 394 passed both Houses of the Congress by voice vote. Legislative Assistant James Director m. Reference Trey for Enclosures STATE DEPARTMENT DRAFT PRESIDENTIAL STATEMENT ON THE OCCASION OF THE SIGNING OF H.J. RES. 394 The tragedy which has unfolded in Mexico in the past several days is of historic proportion. Thousands have lost their lives; thousands more have been injured. The devastation done to one of the world's great cities is massive. Nancy went to Mexico City and saw the damage first hand. She saw the depth of the suffering, the extent of the destruction, and the courage and determination of the Mexican people to overcome the catastrophe that has befallen them. Today, I am signing a joint resolution that expresses our sympathy as a nation for the people and Government of Mexico. The United States is already providing emergency medical, water storage, and communications supplies to help alleviate the immediate suffering from this tragic event. In addition, we stand ready to cooperate with Mexico in long-term efforts to recover from the effects of the earthquake. A global effort will surely be needed, and will surely be forthcoming. The United States will fully support such an undertaking. -2- This resolution reflects the spontaneous support that has come from all sectors in the United States. State and local governments, church groups, schools, businesses, labor unions, and individual citizens have given generously and freely in an effort to relieve the evident human suffering. With pride and dignity, the people of Mexico have accepted this help from their neighbors as they have carried out an impressive effort of their own to save lives and to protect the well-being of those affected. This tragedy has demonstrated dramatically that, indeed, we are more than neighbors. We are brothers. Their pain is our pain. Their loss is our loss. Throughout the past several days as citizens of Mexico waited, citizens of the United States also waited for news of loved ones. Hundreds of thousands called our Department of State to learn the fate of friends and family members in the earthquake zone. This tragedy, the shared sorrow, the spontaneous acts of friendship and assistance -- all of these things clearly demonstrate that our lives, our fortunes, and our futures are inextricably intertwined. We will respond with sympathy, knowing that -- were the situation reversed -- Mexicans would react with the same compassion for us. As I have said many times, we are all Americans. Here today, I say again: Todos Somos Americanos. THE WHITE HOUSE WAEHINGTON October 15, 1985 MEMORANDUM FOR DAVID L. CHEW STAFF SECRETARY FROM: JOHN G.

Res. 127 - Congressional\nConsent to Additional Authorities for a Bi-State\nDevelopment Agency\nSponsors - Sen. Danforth (R) Missouri and 3 others\nLast Day for Action\nPurpose\nProvides the consent of Congress to additional authorities for\nthe Bi-State Development Agency of the Missouri-Illinois\nMetropolitan District.\nAgency Recommendations\nOffice of Management and Budget\nApproval\nDepartment of Justice\nNo objection\nEnvironmental Protection Agency\nNo objection\nDiscussion\nThe Bi-State Development Agency of the Missouri-Illinois\nMetropolitan District was created by agreement between the States\nof Missouri and Illinois in 1950 pursuant to the consent of\nCongress (Public Law 81-743). (The Constitution requires the\nconsent of Congress to agreements or compacts between the\nStates.) The Agency is responsible for the planning,\nconstruction, and maintenance of various municipal facilities\n(e.g., bridges and airports) in an area encompassing the City of\nSt. Louis, Missouri, and several nearby counties in Illinois.\nAccording to the House Committee on the Judiciary report on\nS.J. Res. 127, the enrolled resolution would provide the consent\nof Congress to additional authorities granted the Agency by new\nlaws passed by the States of Missouri and Illinois. The new laws\nauthorize an increase in the interest rate ceiling on the\nAgency's revenue bonds (from 6 to 14 percent), provide the Agency\nwith greater flexibility in managing its properties, and permit\nthe construction of a resource recovery facility capable of\ngenerating steam energy.\n2\nIn granting its consent to the original compact in 1950, Congress\nrequired that any additional powers provided to the Agency must\nbe approved by Congress. S.J. Res. 127 fulfills this requirement\nand expressly reserves the right of Congress to amend or repeal\nthe consent granted. The enrolled resolution also provides that\nthe new powers conferred on the Agency shall be effective\nretroactive to January 1, 1983. This is the effective date of\nthe new State laws concerning the additional authorities for the\nAgency.\nS.J. Res. 127 passed the House by a vote of 373-2 and the Senate\nby voice vote.\nnaomi Acting Assistant R Director Sweeney\nfor Legislative Reference\nS.J.

Res. 388 -- Continuing Resolution\nfor the Fiscal Year 1986\nSponsor: Rep. Whitten (D), Mississippi\nLast Day for Action\nOctober 9, 1985\nSignature as soon as possible and no later than September 30 is\nrecommended in order to avoid disruption of agency operations\ndependent on the authority and appropriations contained in the\ncontinuing resolution. Current appropriations expire\nSeptember 30, 1985.\nPurpose\nThis resolution provides funds for continuing the activities of\nthe Federal government through November 14, 1985 or the date of\nenactment of pending appropriation bills, whichever occurs first.\nAgency Recommendations\nOffice of Management and Budget\nApproval\nOther affected agencies\nApproval assumed\nDiscussion\nAs of October 1, none of the thirteen regular appropriations\nbills will have been enacted. The enrolled resolution provides\nfunding for the Federal government for 45 days. For the first\ntime in many years, the Congress has successfully passed a\ncontinuing resolution in a routine and non-controversial manner.\nIt is free of non-essential or non-germane provisions. The\nenrolled resolution provides funding or other authority for\nprojects and activities that are covered by each of the thirteen\nappropriation bills.\n2\nThe following bills are funded at the current rate:\nDefense\nForeign Assistance\nMilitary Construction\nLabor/HHS/Education\nThe following bills are funded at the lower of the\nHouse-passed or Senate-passed.\nEnergy/Water\nLegislative Branch\nTreasury/Postal\nThe remaining seven bills are funded at the lower of the\ncurrent rate or House-passed rate. These bills have passed the\nHouse, but have not yet passed the Senate. If any of these bills\npass the Senate before October 1, the funding formula will change\nto the lower of the House-passed or Senate-passed rate.\nAgriculture\nCommerce/Justice/State\nDistrict of Columbia\nHUD/Independent Agencies\nInterior\nTransportation\nWhile the overall funding levels are not ideal -- defense\nspending is lower and non-defense spending higher than we would\nlike -- there are no insurmountable problems for the short\nduration of this resolution. The Congress is currently working\nsteadily on individual appropriation bills, and we are closely\nmonitoring their progress to ensure spending levels consistent\nwith your policies.\nRecommendation\nI recommend that you sign the enrolled resolution. A signing\nstatement is attached.\nJoseph R. Wright, Jr.\nActing Director\nAttachment\nSeptember 30, 1985\nSigning Statement by the President\nI am pleased that the Congress has passed an acceptable\nContinuing Resolution. Now, action on the regular fiscal year\n1986 appropriations bills must proceed without delay. I urge the\nCongress to pass all the individual bills promptly within the\nlevels assumed in the Congressional budget resolution and to\npresent to me bills that are consistent with both the need for\nrestraint in domestic spending and support of the defense and\ninternational interests of the Nation. As we meet with the\nSoviets to discuss sensitive and important arms control issues,\nit is paticularly important that we not be hindered by lack of\nCongressional action on, or inadequate support for, our FY 86\nnational security programs.\nIf the Congress cannot hold spending at its own budget resolution\nguidelines, we will not have meaningful deficit reduction. The\nperformance to date is not encouraging. Only two of the\nHouse-passed Appropriations bills for domestic programs are\nwithin the guidlelines of the budget resolution. We will be\nworking with the Congress to achieve a more responsible outcome.\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nOctober 2, 1985\nMEMORANDUM FOR DAVID L. CHEW\nSTAFF SECRETARY\nFROM:\nJOHN G.

Res. 394 extends this nation's profound sympathies to the\npeople and Government of Mexico and calls on the President to\nprovide all appropriate relief and rehabilitation assistance to\nhelp prevent further loss of life, alleviate suffering, and\nsafeguard the public health in Mexico. In addition, the enrolled\nresolution states that the United States, in consultation with\nthe Government of Mexico, is prepared to cooperate with Mexico in\nlong-term efforts to aid its recovery from the earthquake's\neffects.\nH.J. Res. 394 passed both Houses of the Congress by voice vote.\nLegislative Assistant James Director m. Reference Trey for\nEnclosures\nSTATE DEPARTMENT DRAFT\nPRESIDENTIAL STATEMENT\nON THE OCCASION OF THE SIGNING OF\nH.J. RES. 394\nThe tragedy which has unfolded in Mexico in the past\nseveral days is of historic proportion. Thousands have lost\ntheir lives; thousands more have been injured. The devastation\ndone to one of the world's great cities is massive. Nancy went\nto Mexico City and saw the damage first hand. She saw the\ndepth of the suffering, the extent of the destruction, and the\ncourage and determination of the Mexican people to overcome the\ncatastrophe that has befallen them.\nToday, I am signing a joint resolution that expresses our\nsympathy as a nation for the people and Government of Mexico.\nThe United States is already providing emergency medical, water\nstorage, and communications supplies to help alleviate the\nimmediate suffering from this tragic event. In addition, we\nstand ready to cooperate with Mexico in long-term efforts to\nrecover from the effects of the earthquake. A global effort\nwill surely be needed, and will surely be forthcoming. The\nUnited States will fully support such an undertaking.\n-2-\nThis resolution reflects the spontaneous support that has\ncome from all sectors in the United States. State and local\ngovernments, church groups, schools, businesses, labor unions,\nand individual citizens have given generously and freely in an\neffort to relieve the evident human suffering. With pride and\ndignity, the people of Mexico have accepted this help from\ntheir neighbors as they have carried out an impressive effort\nof their own to save lives and to protect the well-being of\nthose affected.\nThis tragedy has demonstrated dramatically that, indeed,\nwe are more than neighbors. We are brothers. Their pain is\nour pain. Their loss is our loss. Throughout the past\nseveral days as citizens of Mexico waited, citizens of the\nUnited States also waited for news of loved ones. Hundreds of\nthousands called our Department of State to learn the fate of\nfriends and family members in the earthquake zone.\nThis tragedy, the shared sorrow, the spontaneous acts of\nfriendship and assistance -- all of these things clearly\ndemonstrate that our lives, our fortunes, and our futures are\ninextricably intertwined. We will respond with sympathy,\nknowing that -- were the situation reversed -- Mexicans would\nreact with the same compassion for us. As I have said many\ntimes, we are all Americans. Here today, I say again: Todos\nSomos Americanos.\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWAEHINGTON\nOctober 15, 1985\nMEMORANDUM FOR DAVID L. CHEW\nSTAFF SECRETARY\nFROM:\nJOHN G.
