    Message to the Senate Transmitting a Protocol to the
    Canada-United States Taxation Convention
    September 14, 1994

    To the Senate of the United States:

        I transmit herewith for Senate advice and consent to ratification
    the Protocol Amending the Convention Between the United States of
    America and Canada with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital Signed
    at Washington on September 26, 1980, as amended by the Protocols signed
    on June 14, 1983, and March 28, 1984, signed at Washington August 31,
    1994. Also transmitted for the information of the Senate is the report
    of the Department of State with respect to the Protocol.

    [[Page 1554]]

        The Protocol further amends the Convention to reflect changes in
    U.S. and Canadian law and treaty policy and to make certain technical
    corrections to the existing Convention that are necessary because of the
    passage of time. It also improves the operation of the Convention and
    facilitates the flow of capital and technology between the United States
    and Canada.

        I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration
    to the Protocol and give its advice and consent to ratification.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
    September 14, 1994.
