    Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting a Report on Normal Trade
    Relations Status for China
    June 2, 2000

    Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)
        I hereby transmit a report including my reasons for determining that
    continuation of the waiver currently in effect for the People's Republic
    of China under subsection 402(d)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974, as
    amended, (the ``Act'') will substantially promote the objectives of
    section 402 of the Act.
             Sincerely,

                                                          William J. Clinton

     Note:  Identical letters were sent to J. Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the
    House of Representatives, and Albert Gore, Jr., President of the Senate.
