    Message to the Senate Transmitting the Belgium-United States
    Supplementary Extradition Treaty
    June 9, 1995

    To the Senate of the United States:
        With a view to receiving the advice and consent of the Senate to
    ratification, I transmit herewith the Supplementary Treaty on
    Extradition Between the United States of America and the Kingdom of
    Belgium to Promote the Repression of Terrorism, signed at Brussels on
    April 27, 1987 (the ``Supplementary Treaty''). Also transmitted for the
    information of the Senate is the report of the Department of State with
    respect to the Supplementary Treaty.
        This Supplementary Treaty is designed to facilitate the extradition
    of terrorists, and is similar to the protocols to extradition treaties
    currently

    in force with other countries, including Australia, Canada, Spain, the
    Federal Republic of Germany, and the United Kingdom. Upon entry into
    force, the Supplementary Treaty will amend the Treaty for the Mutual
    Extradition of Fugitives from Justice, signed at Washington on October
    26, 1901, as amended by the Supplementary Conventions, signed at
    Washington on June 20, 1935, and at Brussels on November 14, 1963, if
    that Treaty is still in force, or the Extradition Treaty Between the
    United States and Belgium signed at Brussels on April 27, 1987.
        I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration
    to the Supplementary Treaty and give its advice and consent to
    ratification.
