    Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting a Report on Northern
    Ireland
    December 13, 2002

    Dear Mr. Chairman:
        I am transmitting to you a report prepared by my Administration as
    required by section 701(d) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act,
    Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-228).
        The enclosed report broadly addresses policing reform and human
    rights in Northern Ireland. It provides information on topics of
    interest outlined by the Congress, including details on paramilitary
    decommissioning, and the manner in which U.S. law enforcement training
    for members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland is being
    administered.
             Sincerely,

                                                              George W. Bush

    Note: Identical letters were sent to Joseph R. Biden, Jr., chairman,
    Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and Henry J. Hyde, chairman,
    House Committee on International Relations.
