Letter to Congressional Leaders on Trade With China
May 29, 1991

Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)
    I hearby transmit a document referred to in subsection 402(d)(1) of 
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 2432(d)(1) (``the Act''), 
with respect to the continuation of a waiver 
of application of subsections (a) and (b) of section 402 of the Act to 
the People's Republic of China. The document

includes my reasons for determining that the continuation of the waiver 
currently in effect for the People's Republic of China will 
substantially promote the objectives of section 402, and my 
determination to that effect.
    Documents concerning the extension of the authority to waive 
subsections (a) and (b) of section 402 of the Act, including a 
determination with respect to other countries and the reasons therefor, 
are transmitted separately.
    Sincerely,

                                                             George Bush

                    Note: Identical letters were sent to Thomas S. 
                        Foley, Speaker of the House of Representatives,
