 EXTENDING GSP BENEFITS TO UKRAINE--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE 
                             UNITED STATES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message 
from the President of the United States; which was read and, together 
with the accompanying papers, without objection, referred to the 
Committee on Ways and Means and ordered to be printed:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am writing to inform you of my intent to add Ukraine to the list of 
beneficiary developing countries under the Generalized System of 
Preferences (GSP). The GSP program offers duty-free access to the U.S. 
market and is authorized by the Trade Act of 1974.
  I have carefully considered the criteria identified in sections 501 
and 502 of the Trade Act of 1974. In light of these criteria, and 
particularly Ukraine's level of development and initiation of economic 
reforms, I have determined that it is appropriate to extend GSP 
benefits to Ukraine.
  This notice is submitted in accordance with section 502(a)(1) of the 
Trade Act of 1974.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, March 3, 1994.
