Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)
    Consistent with the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against 
Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1 as amended by Public Law 106-113) and 
as part of my effort to keep the Congress fully informed, I am reporting 
on the status of efforts to obtain Iraq's compliance with the 
resolutions adopted by the United Nations Security Council. My last 
report, consistent with Public Law 102-1, was dated July 17, 2000. I 
shall continue to keep the Congress informed about this important issue.
        Sincerely,

                                                      William J. Clinton
