  REPORT RELATIVE TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA--MESSAGE FROM THE 
                           PRESIDENT--PM 159

  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 Foreign 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 (Public 
Law 101-246) (``the Act''), and as President of the United States, I 
hereby report to the 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 Globalstar 
satellite 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, July 9, 1996.
