    Message to the Congress Transmitting the Canada-United States Fishing
    Agreement
    January 4, 1991

    To the Congress of the United States:
        In accordance with the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management
    Act of 1976, as amended (Public Law 94-265; 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), I
    transmit herewith an Agreement between the Government of the United
    States of America and the Government of Canada on Fisheries Enforcement,
    signed at Ottawa on September 26, 1990. Under the Agreement, the United
    States and Canada agree to take measures to ensure that their nationals
    and vessels do not violate the fisheries laws of the other party. This
    Agreement will improve enforcement of U.S. fisheries laws in the U.S.
    exclusive economic zone and will reduce risks to human life and safety
    caused by fisheries enforcement incidents on both the Atlantic and
    Pacific coasts.

                                                                 George Bush

    The White House,
    January 4, 1991.
