    REPORT TO CONGRESS CONCERNING EXTENSION OF WAIVER AUTHORITY FOR 
TURKMENISTAN--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. 
                              NO. 108-189)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore 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:
  I hereby transmit the document referred to in subsection 402(d)(1) of 
the Trade Act of 1974 (the ``Act''), as amended, with respect to the 
continuation of a waiver of application of subsections (a) and (b) of 
section 402 of the Act to Turkmenistan. This document constitutes my 
recommendation to continue this waiver for a further 12-month period 
and includes my determination that continuation of the waiver currently 
in effect for Turkmenistan will substantially promote the objectives of 
section 402 of the Act, and my reasons for such determination.
                                                      George W. Bush.  
The White House, June 3, 2004.
