         CONTINUATION OF MOST-FAVORED-NATION STATUS FOR ROMANIA

  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 printed:

To the Congress of the United States:
  On May 19, 1995, I determined and reported to the Congress that 
Romania is in full compliance with the freedom of emigration criteria 
of sections 402 and 409 of the Trade Act of 1974. This action allowed 
for the continuation of most-favored-nation (MFN) status for Romania 
and certain other activities without the requirement of an annual 
waiver.

  As required by law, I am submitting an updated report to the Congress 
concerning emigration laws and policies of Romania. You will find that 
the report indicates continued Romanian compliance with U.S. and 
international standards in the area of emigration policy.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, January 3, 1996.
