    Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting a Report on Anti-Satellite
    Arms Control
    March 12, 1991

    Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)
        In accordance with section 1009 of the National Defense
    Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (Public Law 101-189),
    enclosed is a report on Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Arms Control. The report
    addresses the desirability of an agreement with the Soviet Union that
    would impose limitations on ASAT capabilities. The assessment also
    includes a determination whether a ban or other limitations would be in
    the national interest of the United States.
        The unclassified version of this report will be forwarded at a later
    date under separate cover.
        Sincerely,

                                                                 George Bush

                        Note: Identical letters were sent to Thomas S.
                            Foley, Speaker of the House of Representatives,
                            and Dan Quayle, President of the Senate.
