   EXTENSION OF GSP BENEFITS TO UKRAINE--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 
                   RECEIVED DURING THE RECESS--PM 94

  Under the authority of the order of the Senate of January 5, 1993, 
the Secretary of the Senate, on March 7, 1994, during the recess of the 
Senate, received the following message from the President of the United 
States, together with an accompanying report; which was referred to the 
Committee on Finance:

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.
