Message to the Congress Transmitting the Estonia-United States Fishery
Agreement
January 19, 1995
To the Congress of the United States:
In accordance with the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management
Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et. seq.), I transmit herewith the Agreement
between the Government of the United States of America and the
Government of the Republic of Estonia Extending the Agreement of June 1,
1992, Concerning Fisheries Off the Coast of the United States. The
Agreement, which was effected by an exchange of notes at Tallinn on
March 11 and May 12, 1994, extends the 1992 Agreement to June 30, 1996.
In light of the importance of our fisheries relationship with the
Republic of Estonia, I urge that the Congress give favorable
consideration to this Agreement at an early date.
William J. Clinton
