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.
