    Message to the Congress on Trade with Maldives and Moldova
    July 28, 1995

    To the Congress of the United States:
        The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program offers duty-free
    treatment to specified products that are imported from designated
    beneficiary developing countries. The program is authorized by title V
    of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
        Pursuant to title V, I have determined that Maldives should be
    suspended from the GSP program because it is not making sufficient
    progress in protecting basic labor rights. I also have decided to
    designate Moldova as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of
    the

    GSP program because I have determined that Moldova satisfies the
    statutory criteria.
        This notice is submitted in accordance with the requirements of
    section 502(a)(1) and 502(a)(2) of the Trade Act of 1974.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,

    July 28, 1995.

    Note: The related proclamation is listed in Appendix D at the end of
    this volume.
