REPORT CONCERNING THE EMIGRATION LAWS AND POLICIES OF MONGOLIA--MESSAGE 
                        FROM THE PRESIDENT--PM 8

  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 was not in violation of the freedom of emigration criteria of 
sections 402(a) and 409(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. This 
action allowed for the continuation of normal trade relations 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. The report 
indicates continued Mongolian compliance with U.S. and international 
standards in the area of emigration.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, February 11, 1999.
