                     Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release                                      July 30, 1996

				    
		       STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT 
	    ON SETTLEMENT OF RAILROAD CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS 
				    

     These agreements represent a triumph of the collective bargaining
process.  I commend the parties for their hard work in reaching these
settlements.  I also commend our Presidential Emergency Boards for
developing recommendations that helped to bring about these
resolutions.

     In the past twenty-five years, Congress has had to step in no
fewer than ten times to prevent national rail stoppages. Such stoppages
can cost American businesses and consumers billions of dollars.  The
voluntary contract agreements achieved this year broke that pattern and
represent a milestone for labor-management relations.
