       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the permission granted in 
     Clause 5 of Rule III of the Rules of the U.S. House of

     President whereby he reports that it is in the national

     export of U.S.-origin satellites to the People's Republic of 
     China, specifically restrictions on the CHINASAT project.
           With warm regards,
                                            Robin H. Carle, Clerk,
