                                           The White House,
                                     Washington, February 25, 1999.
Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: On August 10, 1998, I reported to the 
Congress that two teams of U.S. military personnel had been 
deployed to Kenya and Tanzania to assist in the provision of 
security for our embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam in the 
aftermath of the terrorist bombings at those sites. I am 
providing this supplemental report, consistent with the War 
Powers Resolution, as part of my efforts to keep the Congress 
informed about the continuing deployment of U.S. military 
personnel in Kenya.
    The military personnel that deployed to Tanzania have since 
redeployed. Military personnel have remained in Kenya, however, 
to assist in provision of security for our embassy and American 
citizens in Nairobi. The need for this additional security 
support will continue until renovations are completed to 
provide a secure and permanent embassy facility in Nairobi.
    I have continued this deployment of U.S. Armed Forces 
pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign 
relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive. I 
appreciate the support of the Congress in this action to assist 
in embassy security and the security of American citizens 
overseas.

            Sincerely,
                                                William J. Clinton.
