    To the Congress of the United States:
        In accordance with the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and
    Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), I transmit
    herewith an Agreement between the Government of the United
    States of America and the Government of the Republic of Poland
    Extending the Agreement of August 1, 1985, as amended,
    Concerning Fisheries Off the Coasts of the United States (``the
    1985 Agreement''). The Agreement, which was effected by an
    exchange of notes at Warsaw on December 15 and 20, 1995,
    extends the 1985 Agreement to December 31, 1997.
        In light of the importance of our fisheries relationship
    with the Republic of Poland, I urge that the Congress give
    favorable consideration to this Agreement at an early date.
