    Message to the Congress Transmitting a Waiver on Most-Favored-Nation
    Trade Status for Vietnam
    June 3, 1998

    To the Congress of the United States:
        I hereby transmit the document referred to in subsection 402(d)(1)
    of the Trade Act of 1974 (the ``Act''), as amended, with respect to the
    continuation of a waiver of application of subsections (a) and (b) of
    section 402 of the Act to Vietnam. This document constitutes my
    recommendation to continue in effect this waiver for a further 12-month
    period and includes my determination that continuation of the waiver
    currently in effect for Vietnam will substantially promote the
    objectives of section 402 of the Act, and my reasons for such
    determination.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,

    June 3, 1998.
