 TERMINATION OF SUSPENSIONS UNDER FOREIGN RELATIONS AUTHORIZATION ACT 
  WITH RESPECT TO ISSUANCE OF LICENSES TO PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA--
 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 104-236)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Funderburk) 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:

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 (P.L. 
101-246) (``the Act''), and as President of the United States, I hereby 
report to Congress that it is in the national interest of the United 
States to terminate the suspensions under section 902(a) of the Act 
with respect to the issuance of licenses for defense article exports to 
the People's Republic of China and the export of U.S.-origin 
satellites, insofar as such restrictions pertain to the Hughes Asia 
Pacific Mobile Telecommunications project. License requirements remain 
in place for these exports and require review and approval on a case-
by-case basis by the United States Government.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, June 23, 1996.
