    Message to the Congress Transmitting the Latvia-United States Fishery
    Agreement
    June 17, 1993

    To the Congress of the United States:
        In accordance with the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management
    Act of 1976 (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 the Republic of Latvia Concerning
    Fisheries off the Coasts of the United States, with annex, signed at
    Washington on April 8, 1993. The agreement constitutes a governing
    international fishery agreement within the requirements of Section
    201(c) of the Act.
        United States fishing industry interests have urged prompt
    consideration of this agreement to take advantage of opportunities for
    seasonal cooperative fishing ventures. I recommend that the Congress
    give favorable consideration to this agreement at an early date.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
