    Letter to Congressional Leaders on Trade With Russia
    December 29, 1994

    Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)
        On September 21, 1994, I determined and reported to the Congress
    that the Russian Federation is in full compliance with the freedom of
    emigration criteria of section 402 and 409 of the Trade Act of 1974.
    This action allowed for the continuation of most-favored-nation (MFN)
    status for Russia and certain other activities without the requirement
    of a waiver.
        As required by law, I am submitting an updated report to the
    Congress concerning the emigration laws and policies of the Russian
    Federation. You will find that the report indicates continued Russian
    compliance with U.S. and international standards in the area of
    emigration.
        Sincerely,

                                                          William J. Clinton

    Note: Identical letters were sent to Thomas S. Foley, Speaker of the
    House of Representatives, and Albert Gore, Jr., President of the Senate.
