    Message to the Congress Transmitting a Report on the Emigration Policies
    and Trade Status of Mongolia
    February 11, 1999

    To the Congress of the United States:
        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(a) and 409(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. This
    action allowed for the continuation of normal trade relations 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.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,

    February 11, 1999.
