    Message to the Senate Transmitting the Argentina-United States
    Extradition Treaty With Documentation
    July 30, 1997

    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 Extradition Treaty between the
    United States of America and the Argentine Republic, signed at Buenos
    Aires on June 10, 1997.
        In addition, I transmit, for the information of the Senate, the
    report of the Department of State with respect to the Treaty. As the
    report states, the Treaty will not require implementing legislation.
        The provisions in this Treaty follow generally the form and content
    of extradition treaties recently concluded by the United States.
        Upon entry into force, this Treaty would enhance cooperation between
    the law enforcement authorities of both countries, and thereby make a
    significant contribution to international law enforcement efforts. The
    Treaty would supersede the Extradition Treaty Between the United States
    of America and the Republic of Argentina signed at Washington on January
    21, 1972.
        I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration
    to the Treaty and give its advice and consent to ratification.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,

    July 30, 1997.

    Note: This message was released by the Office of the Press Secretary on
