CLINTON SIGNS $310B DEFENSE BILL

WASHINGTON (AP) . President Clinton on Monday signed into law a $310 billion defense bill that provides an array of upgrades in living standards for military personnel but lacks the hate crimes provisions he had hoped to enact.

Clinton signed the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act, named for the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, without ceremony in the Oval Office.

``While I have concerns with several provisions in this act, I have determined that (it) generally reflects my strong commitment to the nation's security,'' Clinton said in a statement.

But the act, for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, did not contain provisions against hate crimes that the president had wanted dearly. ``I will continue to fight for this important legislation, and urge Congress to enact it before it adjourns,'' he said.
