    Message to the Congress Transmitting a Report on Emigration Policies of
    Bulgaria
    July 17, 1996

    To the Congress of the United States:
        On June 3, 1993, I determined and reported to the Congress that
    Bulgaria is in full compliance with the freedom of emigration criteria
    of sections 402 and 409 of the Trade Act of 1974. This action allowed
    for the continuation of most-favored-nation (MFN) status for Bulgaria
    and certain other activities without the requirement of a waiver.
        As required by law, I am submitting an updated report to the
    Congress concerning emigration laws and policies of the Republic of
    Bulgaria. The report indicates continued Bulgarian compliance with U.S.
    and international standards in the area of emigration policy.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,

    July 17, 1996.
