    Message to the Senate Transmitting Documents on the
    Ukraine-United States Taxation Convention
    June 28, 1995

    To the Senate of the United States:
        I transmit herewith an exchange of notes dated at Washington May 26
    and June 6, 1995, for Senate advice and consent to ratification in
    connection with the Senate's consideration of the Convention Between the
    Government of the United States of America and the Government of Ukraine
    for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal
    Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income and Capital, together with a
    related Protocol, signed at Washington on March 4, 1994 (``the Taxation
    Convention''). Also transmitted for the information of the Senate is the
    report of the Department of State with respect to the exchange of notes.
        This exchange of notes addresses the interaction between the
    Taxation Convention and other treaties that have tax provisions,
    including in particular the General Agreement on Trade in Services
    (GATS), annexed to the Agreement Establishing the World Trade
    Organization, done at Marrakesh April 15, 1994.
        I recommend that the Senate give favorable consideration to this
    exchange of notes and give its advice and consent to ratification in
    connection with the Taxation Convention.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,

    June 28, 1995.
