    Statement on Bilateral Investment Treaties With Albania and Latvia
    January 13, 1995

        These bilateral investment treaties put in place a strong foundation
    for expanded U.S. trade and investment with the reforming democracies of
    Central and Eastern Europe. They are another step toward integrating
    Europe's new democracies with an expanding transatlantic community.
    Americans and Central Europeans alike will benefit through the increased
    business.

    Note: This statement was included in a White House statement announcing
    the signing of the treaties.
