  January 29, 2002.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the 
     Committee on International Relations and ordered to be printed
To the Congress of the United States:
    Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 902 of 
the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 
1991 (Public Law 101-246) (the ``Act''), and as President of 
the United States, I hereby report to the Congress that it is 
in the national interest of the United States to terminate the 
suspensions under section 902 of the Act insofar as such 
suspensions pertain to the export of defense articles or 
defense services in support of efforts by the Government of 
Japan to destroy Japanese chemical weapons abandoned during 
World War II in the People's Republic of China. License 
requirements remain in place for these exports and require 
review and approval on a case-by-case basis by the United 
States Government.

                                                    George W. Bush.
