    Message to the Senate Transmitting the Portugal-United States
    Taxation Convention and Protocol
    September 15, 1994

    To the Senate of the United States:
        I transmit herewith for Senate advice and consent to ratification
    the Convention Between the United States of America and the Portuguese
    Republic for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of
    Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income, together with a related
    Protocol, signed at Washington on September 6, 1994. Also transmitted
    for the information of the Senate is the report of the Department of
    State with respect to the Convention.
        The Convention is the first income tax convention between the United
    States of America and the Portuguese Republic. The Convention reflects
    current income tax treaty policies of the two countries.
        I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration
    to the Convention and related Protocol and give its advice and consent
    to ratification.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
    September 15, 1994.
