  REPORT ON EMIGRATION LAWS AND POLICIES OF THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA--
            MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

  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 to be printed:

To the Congress of the United States:
  On June 3, 1993, I determined and reported to the Congress that 
Bulgaria 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 Bulgaria 
and certain other activities without the requirement of a waiver.
  As required by law, I am submitting an updated report to the Congress 
concerning emigration laws and policies of the Republic of Bulgaria. 
You will find that the report indicates continued Bulgarian compliance 
with U.S. and international standards in the area of emigration policy.
                                                   William J. Clinton. 
  The White House, January 29, 1996.
