LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 

THE WHITE HOUSE, October 5, 2015. 

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 Treaty between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the 

People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters, signed at Algiers on April 7, 2010. I also 

transmit, for the information of the Senate, the report of the Department of State with respect to the Treaty. The Treaty is one of 

a series of modern mutual legal assistance treaties negotiated by 

the United States to more effectively counter criminal activities. 

The Treaty should enhance our ability to investigate and prosecute 

a wide variety of crimes. 

The Treaty provides for a broad range of cooperation in criminal 

matters. Under the Treaty, the Parties agree to assist each other 

by, among other things: producing evidence (such as testimony, 

documents, or items) obtained voluntarily or, where necessary, by 

compulsion; arranging for persons, including persons in custody, to 

travel to provide evidence; serving documents; executing searches 

and seizures; locating and identifying persons or items; and freezing and forfeiting assets or property that may be the proceeds or 

instrumentalities of crime. 

I recommend the Senate give early and favorable consideration 

to the Treaty, and give its advice and consent to ratification. 

BARACK OBAMA.

LETTER OF SUBMITTAL 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, 

Washington, February 2, 2015. 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

MR. PRESIDENT: I have the honor to submit to you the Treaty between the Government of the United States of America and the 

Government of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters, signed at Algiers in 

April 7, 2010. I recommend the Treaty be transmitted to the Senate for its advice and consent to ratification. 

The Treaty covers mutual legal assistance in criminal matters. 

In recent years, the United States has entered into similar bilateral treaties with a number of countries. This Treaty contains all 

the essential provisions of such treaties sought by the United 

States. It will enhance our ability to investigate and prosecute a 

wide variety of offenses. The Treaty is self-executing. It will not require further implementing legislation. 

An overview of the Treaty, including a detailed, article-by-article 

analysis, is enclosed with this report. The Department of Justice 

joins the Department of State in favoring approval of this Treaty 

by the Senate at the earliest possible date. 

Sincerely, 

JOHN F. KERRY. 

Enclosures: As stated.
