    Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting a Report on the Emigration
    Policies and Trade Status of Mongolia
    January 20, 1998

    Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)
        On September 4, 1996, I determined and reported to the Congress that
    Mongolia was not in violation of 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 status for Mongolia and certain
    other activities without the requirement of an annual waiver.
        As required by law, I am submitting an updated report to the
    Congress concerning the emigration laws and policies of Mongolia. The
    report indicates continued Mongolian compliance with U.S. and
    international standards in the area of emigration.
        Sincerely,

                                                          William J. Clinton

    Note: Identical letters were sent to Newt Gingrich, Speaker of the House
    of Representatives, and Albert Gore, Jr., President of the Senate. This
    letter was released by the Office of the Press Secretary on January 21.
