   REPORT CONCERNING EMIGRATION LAWS AND POLICIES OF THE REPUBLIC OF 
BULGARIA--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 
                                104-246)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Barrett of Nebraska) 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. 
The report indicates continued Bulgarian compliance with U.S. and 
international standards in the area of emigration policy.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, July 17, 1996.
