    Message to the Senate Transmitting the Sweden-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 Convention Between the Government of the United States of America
    and the Government of Sweden for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and
    the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income signed
    at Stockholm on September 1, 1994, together with a related exchange of
    notes. Also transmitted for the information of the Senate is the report
    of the Department of State with respect to the Convention.
        The proposed Convention with Sweden replaces the present income tax
    regime between the two countries. In general, the proposed Convention
    follows the pattern of other recent U.S. income tax treaties and the
    1981 U.S. Model Income Tax Convention, as well as the OECD Model Tax
    Convention on Income and Capital.
        I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration
    to the Convention and the related exchange of notes and give its advice
    and consent to ratification.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
    September 14, 1994.
