DAVID J. HILL,
_Acting Secretary of State._

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas it is provided by section 13 of the act of Congress of March 3,
1891, entitled "An Act to amend title sixty, chapter three, of the
Revised Statutes of the United States, relating to copyrights," that
said act "shall only apply to a citizen or subject of a foreign state or
nation when such foreign state or nation permits to citizens of the
United States of America the benefit of copyright on substantially the
same basis as its own citizens; or when such foreign state or nation is
a party to an international agreement which provides for reciprocity in
the granting of copyright, by the terms of which agreement the United
States of America may, at its pleasure, become a party to such
agreement;"

And whereas it is also provided by said section that "the existence of
either of the conditions aforesaid shall be determined by the President
of the United States by proclamation made from time to time as the
purposes of this act may require;"

And whereas satisfactory official assurances have been given that in the
Republic of Costa Rica the law permits to citizens of the United States
of America the benefit of copyright on substantially the same basis as
to the citizens of that Republic:

Now, therefore, I, William McKinley, President of the United States of
America, do declare and proclaim that the first of the conditions
specified in section 13 of the act of March 3, 1891, now exists and is
fulfilled in respect to the citizens of the Republic of Costa Rica.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
