Message to the Congress on Trade With Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and 
Russia

April 3, 1992
To the Congress of the United States:
    Pursuant to subsection 402(c)(2)(A) of the Trade Act of 1974 (the 
``Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2432(c)(2)(A)), I have determined that a waiver of 
the application of subsections (a) and (b) of section 402 with respect 
to Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia will substantially promote 
the objectives of section 402. A copy of that determination is enclosed. 
I have also received assurances with respect to the emigration practices 
of Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia required by subsection 
402(c)(2)(B) of the Act. This letter constitutes the report to the 
Congress required by subsection 402(c)(2).
    Pursuant to subsection 402(c)(2), I shall waive by Executive order 
the application of subsections (a) and (b) of section 402 of the Act 
with respect to Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia.

                                                             George Bush
