To the Congress of the United States:
    In accordance with section 201(3) of the Naval Petroleum 
Reserves Production Act of 1976 (10 U.S.C. 7422(c)(2)), I am 
informing you of my decision to extend the period of production 
of the naval petroleum reserves for a period of 3 years from 
April 5, 2000, the expiration date of the currently authorized 
period of production.
    Attached is a copy of the report investigating the 
necessity of continued production of the reserves as required 
by 10 U.S.C. 7422(c)(2)(B). In light of the findings contained 
in that report, I certify that continued production from the 
naval petroleum reserves is in the national interest.

                                                William J. Clinton.
    The White House, October 8, 1999.
