Message to the Congress Transmitting a Report on Efforts To Achieve 
Sustainable Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina

July 27, 2000

To the Congress of the United States:

    As required by the Levin Amendment to the 1998 Supplemental 
Appropriations and Rescissions Act (section 7 of Public Law 105-174) and 
section 1203 of the Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 1999 (Public Law 105-261), I transmit herewith a report 
on progress made toward achieving benchmarks for a sustainable peace 
process.
    In April 2000, I sent the third semiannual report to the Congress 
under Public Law 105-174, detailing progress towards achieving the ten 
benchmarks adopted by the Peace Implementation Council and the North 
Atlantic Council for evaluating implementation of the Dayton Accords. 
This report provides an updated assessment of progress on the 
benchmarks, covering the period January 1 though June 30, 2000.
    In addition to the semiannual reporting requirements of Public Law 
105-174, this report fulfills the requirements of section 1203 in 
connection with my Administration's request for funds for FY 2001.
                                            William J. Clinton
 The White House,
 July 27, 2000.
