    Message to the Congress Transmitting the Latvia-United States
    Fishery Agreement
    June 20, 1995

    To the Congress of the United States:
        In accordance with the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management
    Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), I transmit herewith an Agreement
    Between the Government of the United States of America and the
    Government of the Republic of Latvia Extending the Agreement of April 8,
    1993, Concerning Fisheries Off the Coasts of the United States. The
    Agreement, which was effected by an exchange of notes at Riga on March
    28, 1995, and April 4, 1995, extends the 1993 Agreement to December 31,
    1997.
        In light of the importance of our fisheries relationship with the
    Republic of Latvia, I urge that the Congress give favorable
    consideration to this Agreement at an early date.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
