Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: In accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens 
Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et 
seq.), I transmit herewith an Agreement between the United 
States of America and the Government of the Republic of Estonia 
extending the Agreement of June 1, 1992, Concerning Fisheries 
Off the Coasts of the United States, with annex, as extended 
(the 1992 Agreement). The present Agreement, which was effected 
by an exchange of notes at Tallinn on September 7 and September 
12, 2000, extends the 1992 Agreement to June 30, 2003.
    In light of the importance of our fisheries relationship 
with the Republic of Estonia, I urge that the Congress give 
favorable consideration to this Agreement at an early date.
            Sincerely,
                                                William J. Clinton.
