  REPORT UNDER THE GENERALIZED SYSTEM OF PREFERENCES PROGRAM--MESSAGE 
                       FROM THE PRESIDENT--PM 70

  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate 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:
  The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program offers duty-free 
treatment to specified products that are imported from designated 
beneficiary developing countries. The program is authorized by title V 
of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
  Pursuant to title V, I have determined that Maldives should be 
suspended from the GSP program because it is not making sufficient 
progress in protecting basic labor rights. I also have decided to 
designate Moldova as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of 
the GSP program because I have determined that Moldova satisfies the 
statutory criteria.
  This notice is submitted in accordance with the requirements of 
section 502(a)(1) and 502(a)(2) of the Trade Act of 1974.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, July 28, 1995.
