    Message to the Congress Transmitting a Report on Most-Favored-Nation
    Trade Status for Mongolia

    July 18, 1997

    To the Congress of the United States:

        On September 4, 1996, I determined and reported to the Congress that
    Mongolia 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 Mongolia and certain other activities
    without the requirement of an annual waiver.
        As required by law, I am submitting an updated report to the
    Congress concerning the emigration laws and policies of Mongolia. You
    will find that the report indicates continued Mongolian compliance with
    U.S. and international standards in the area of emigration.
                                                William J. Clinton
    The White House,
    July 18, 1997.
