Message to the Congress Transmitting the District of Columbia Budget Request

To the Congress of the United States:

In accordance with section 202(c) of the District of Columbia Financial Management and Responsibility Assistance Act of 1995 and section 446 of the District of Columbia Self-Governmental Reorganization Act, as amended, I am transmitting the District of Columbia's Fiscal Year 2000 Budget Request Act.

This proposed Fiscal Year 2000 Budget represents the major programmatic objectives of the Mayor, the Council of the District of Columbia, and the District of Columbia Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority. For Fiscal Year 2000, the District estimates revenue of $5.482 billion and total expenditures of $5.482 billion, resulting in a budget surplus of $47,000.

My transmittal of the District of Columbia's budget, as required by law, does not represent an endorsement of its contents.
