    Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting a Report on Cyprus
    November 7, 1994

    Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. Chairman:)
        In accordance with Public Law 95-384 (22 U.S.C. 2373(c)), I am
    submitting to you this report on progress toward a negotiated settlement
    of the Cyprus question. The previous report covered progress through
    July 31, 1994. The current report covers the period August 1, 1994,
    through September 30, 1994.
        During this time frame U.S. Ambassador Richard Boucher met regularly
    with the leaders of the two communities. He is working closely with the
    United Nations in an effort to bring Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash
    together for face-to-face meetings. I am very concerned with the lack of
    progress during this period and believe direct meetings between the two
    leaders are crucial to avoid an impasse.
        James Williams was appointed on October 21 as U.S. Special
    Coordinator for Cyprus. He will travel shortly to Athens, Ankara, and
    Nicosia to consult with the parties.
        Sincerely,

                                                          William J. Clinton

    Note: Identical letters were sent to Thomas S. Foley, Speaker of the
    House of Representatives, and Claiborne Pell, chairman, Senate Committee
    on Foreign Relations.
