    Message to the Congress Transmitting a Report on Coastal Zone Management
    July 9, 1996

    To the Congress of the United States:
        I am pleased to submit the Biennial Report of the Office of Ocean
    and Coastal Resource Management, National Ocean Service, National
    Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for fiscal years 1994 and
    1995. This report is submitted as required by section 316 of the Coastal
    Zone Management Act (CZMA) of 1972, as amended, (16 U.S.C. 1451, et
    seq.).
        The report discusses progress made at the national level in
    administering the Coastal Zone Management and Estuarine Research Reserve
    Programs during these years, and spotlights the accomplishments of
    NOAA's State coastal management and estuarine research reserve program
    partners under the CZMA.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
