 REPORT CONCERNING THE CONTINUATION OF MOST-FAVORED-NATION STATUS FOR 
              MONGOLIA--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT--PM 54

  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 Finance.

To the Congress of the United States:
  On September 4, 1996, I determined and reported to the Congress that 
Mongolia 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 Mongolia 
and certain other activities without the requirement of an annual 
waiver.
  As required by law, I am submitting an updated report to the Congress 
concerning the emigration laws and policies of Mongolia. You will find 
that the report indicates continued Mongolian compliance with U.S. and 
international standards in the area of emigration.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, July 18, 1997.
