 FISHERIES AGREEMENT WITH THE REPUBLIC OF LITHUANIA--MESSAGE FROM THE 
                           PRESIDENT--PM 133

  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate a message from the 
President of the United States, together with accompanying papers; 
pursuant to title 16 United States Code section 1823(b); which was 
referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and 
the Committee on Foreign Relations:
To the Congress of the United States:

  In accordance with the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management 
Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-265; 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), I transmit 
herewith an Agreement between the Government of the United States of 
America and the Government of the Republic of Lithuania Extending the 
Agreement of November 12, 1992, Concerning Fisheries off the Coasts of 
the United States, with annex. The agreement, which was effected by an 
exchange of notes at Vilnius, Lithuania on February 22, 1994, and May 
11, 1994, extends the 1992 agreement to December 31, 1996. The exchange 
of notes, together with the 1992 agreement, constitutes a governing 
international fishery agreement within the requirements of section 
201(c) of the Act.
  In light of the importance of our fisheries relationship with the 
Republic of Lithuania, I urge that the Congress give favorable 
consideration to this agreement at an early date.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, July 18, 1994.
