                                           The White House,
                                       Washington, August 24, 1999.
Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to section 585(c) of the Foreign 
Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, 1999, as contained in the Omnibus 
Appropriations Act of 1999 (Public Law 105-277) (the ``Act''), 
I hereby transmit a report concerning Iraq's weapons of mass 
destruction programs.
    The report is comprised of three sections that provide the 
information required by section 585(c) of the Act, to the 
extent that such information is available: assessment of Iraq's 
nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction programs and its 
efforts to move toward procurement of nuclear weapons and the 
means to deliver weapons of mass destruction; assessment of the 
International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) action team 
reports, and other IAEA efforts to monitor the extent and 
nature of Iraq's nuclear program; and an opinion on the value 
of maintaining the ongoing inspection regime rather than 
replacing it with a passive monitoring system.
            Sincerely,
                                                William J. Clinton.
