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.
