    Message to the Senate Transmitting a Protocol to the Canada-
    United States Taxation Convention
    April 24, 1995

    To the Senate of the United States:
        I transmit herewith for Senate advice and consent to ratification, a
    revised Protocol Amending the Convention Between the United States of
    America and Canada with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital Signed
    at Washington on September 26, 1980, as Amended by the Protocols Signed
    on June 14, 1983, and March 28, 1984. This revised Protocol was signed
    at Washington on March 17, 1995. Also transmitted for the information of
    the Senate is the report of the Department of State with respect to the
    revised Protocol. The principal provisions of the Protocol, as well as
    the reasons for the technical amendments made in the revised Protocol,
    are explained in that document.
        It is my desire that the revised Protocol transmitted herewith be
    considered in place of the Protocol to the Income Tax Convention with
    Canada signed at Washington on August 31, 1994, which was transmitted to
    the Senate with my message dated September 14, 1994, and which is now
    pending in the Committee on Foreign Relations. I desire, therefore, to
    withdraw from the Senate the Protocol signed in August 1994.
        I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration
    to the revised Protocol and give its advice and consent to ratification.

                                                          William J. Clinton
