    Message to the Congress Transmitting a Determination on Trade With
    Turkmenistan
    June 3, 2004

    To the Congress of the United States:
        I hereby transmit the document referred to in subsection 402(d)(1)
    of the Trade Act of 1974 (the ``Act''), as amended, with respect to the
    continuation of a waiver of application of subsections (a) and (b) of
    section 402 of the Act to Turkmenistan. This document constitutes my
    recommendation to continue this waiver for a further 12-month period and
    includes my determination that continuation of the waiver currently in
    effect for Turkmenistan will substantially promote the objectives of
    section 402 of the Act, and my reasons for such determination.

                                                              George W. Bush

     The White House,

     June 3, 2004.
