THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary


For Immediate Release January 3, 1995

                          TEXT OF A LETTER
                       FROM THE PRESIDENT TO 
             THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
                   AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE

December 30, 1994

Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)

On June 3, 1993, I determined and reported to the Congress that Bulgaria is in full compliance with the freedom of emigration criteria of sections 402 and 409 of the Trade Act of 1974. This action allowed for the continuation of most-favored-nation (MFN) status for Bulgaria and certain other activities without the requirement of a waiver.

As required by law, I am submitting an updated Report to Congress concerning emigration laws and policies of the Republic of Bulgaria. You will find that the report indicates continued Bulgarian compliance with U.S. and international standards in the areas of emigration and human rights policy.

Sincerely,

WILLIAM J. CLINTON
