    TERMINATION OF SUSPENSION OF ISSUANCE OF LICENSES FOR EXPORT OF 
MUNITIONS LIST ARTICLES TO PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA--MESSAGE FROM THE 
          PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 104-87)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message 
from the President of the United States; which was read and, without 
objection, 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(b)(2) 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 suspension under subsection 
902(a)(3) of the Act with respect to the issuance of licenses for the 
export to the People's Republic of China of U.S. Munitions List 
articles, insofar as such suspension pertains to export license 
requests for cryptographic items covered by Category XIII on the U.S. 
Munitions List.
  License requirements remain in place for these exports and require 
review and approval on a case-by-case basis. The Department of State, 
in consultation with the Department of Defense and other relevant 
agencies, will review each request, including each proposed use and 
end-user, and will approve only those requests determined to be 
consistent with U.S. foreign policy and national security.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, June 22, 1995.
