Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)

    Consistent with the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against 
Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1 as amended by Public Law 106-113) and 
as part of my effort to keep the Congress fully informed, I am reporting 
on the status of efforts to obtain Iraq's compliance with the 
resolutions adopted by the United Nations Security Council. I shall 
continue to keep the Congress informed about this important issue.
     Sincerely,
                                            William J. Clinton
