    Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting a Report on
    Democracy Promotion Programs
    May 11, 1995

    Dear Mr. Chairman:
        I am pleased to transmit herewith a report on the democracy
    promotion programs funded by the United States Government. The report is
    required by section 534 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for
    Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995 (Public Law 103-236).
        The report reviews the current status of U.S.-sponsored programs to
    promote democracy. As part of the Vice President's National Performance
    Review, agencies will be seeking ways to further streamline these
    programs in the coming months.
            Sincerely,

                                                          William J. Clinton

    Note: Identical letters were sent to Jesse Helms, chairman, Senate
    Committee on Foreign Relations, and Benjamin A. Gilman, chairman, House
    Committee on International Relations.
