Message to the Congress on Most-Favored-Nation Trade Status for Russia

June 30, 1995

To the Congress of the United States:

    On September 21, 1994, I determined and reported to the Congress 
that the Russian Federation is in full compliance with the freedom of 
emigration criteria of sections 402 and 409 of the Trade Act of 1974. 
This action allowed for the continuation of most-favored-nation (MFN) 
status for Russia and certain other activities without the requirement 
of a waiver.
    As required by law, I am submitting an updated Report to Congress 
concerning the emigration laws and policies of the Russian Federation. 
You will find that the report indicates continued Russian compliance 
with U.S. and international standards in the area of emigration.
                                            William J. Clinton
The White House,
June 30, 1995.
