LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 

THE WHITE HOUSE, July 10, 2006. 

To the Senate of the United States: 

With a view to receiving the advice and consent of the Senate to 

ratification, I transmit herewith the amendments to the Constitution and Convention of the International Telecommunication Union 

(Geneva, 1992), as amended by the Plenipotentiary Conference 

(Kyoto, 1994) and the Plenipotentiary Conference (Minneapolis, 

1998), together with the declarations and reservations by the 

United States, all as contained in the Final Acts of the Plenipotentiary Conference (Marrakesh, 2002). 

I transmit also, for the information of the Senate, the report of 

the Department of State concerning these amendments. 

The Plenipotentiary Conference (Marrakesh, 2002) adopted 

amendments that would expand the field of individuals eligible for 

election to the Radio Regulations Board; provide for functional 

privileges and immunities for members of the Radio Regulations 

Board; strengthen the finances of the International Telecommunication Union by, among others, providing for sector member contributions to defray the expenses of regional conferences in which 

they participate and clarifying that operational plans prepared by 

the International Telecommunication Union Secretary-General and 

Directors of each of the International Telecommunication Union 

sectors must reflect the financial implications of the activities proposed; provide for sector members to be represented as observers 

at meetings of the Council; and recognize the authority of the 

Radiocommunication Assembly, the World Telecommunication 

Standardization Assembly, and the World Telecommunication Development Conference to adopt working methods and procedures 

for their respective sectors. 

Consistent with longstanding practices, the United States, in 

signing the 2002 amendments, made certain declarations and reservations. Subject to those declarations and reservations, I believe 

the United States should ratify the 2002 amendments to the International Telecommunication Union Constitution and Convention. 

Those amendments will contribute to the International Telecommunication Union’s ability to adapt to changes in the telecommunication environment and, in so doing, serve the needs of 

the United States Government and United States industry. It is my 

hope that the Senate will take early action on this matter and give 

its advice and consent to ratification. 

GEORGE W. BUSH.

LETTER OF SUBMITTAL 

MAY 16, 2006. 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

THE PRESIDENT: I have the honor to submit to you, with a view 

to their transmission to the Senate for advice and consent to ratification, amendments to the Constitution and Convention of the 

International Telecommunication Union (Geneva, 1992), as amended by the Plenipotentiary Conference (Kyoto, 1994) and the Plenipotentiary Conference (Minneapolis, 1998). The United States 

signed these amendments to the Constitution and Convention on 

October 18, 2002, at the Plenipotentiary Conference in Marrakesh 

on September 23–October 18, 2002 (the ‘‘2002 Conference’’). I also 

have the honor to submit to you certain U.S. reservations and declarations to these amendments that also require Senate advice and 

consent. 

The Department of State and the other agencies involved recommend that these declarations and reservations be confirmed in 

the U.S. instrument of ratification of the amendments. The Department of State and the other interested agencies are of the view 

that no additional reservations are required. These amendments 

will not require implementing U.S. legislation. 

Respectfully submitted. 

CONDOLEEZZA RICE. 

Enclosure: As stated.
