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 Latvia 
Extending the Agreement of April 8, 1993, Concerning Fisheries 
Off the Coasts of the United States. The Agreement, which was 
effected by an exchange of notes at Riga on March 28, 1995, and 
April 4, 1995, extends the 1993 Agreement to December 31, 1997.
    In light of the importance of our fisheries relationship 
with the Republic of Latvia, I urge that the Congress give 
favorable consideration to this Agreement at an early date.
