Dear Commissioner: Pursuant to Section

204 of the Agricultural Act of 1956, as

amended (7 U.S.C. 1854); Executive Order

11651 of March 3, 1972, as amended; and the

between the Governments of the United

States and the Lao People’s Democratic

Republic, you are directed to prohibit,

effective on January 1, 2001, entry into the

United States for consumption and

withdrawal from warehouse for consumption

of cotton and man-made fiber textile

products in Categories 340/640, produced or

manufactured in Laos and exported during

the twelve-month period beginning on

January 1, 2001 and extending through

December 31, 2001, in excess of 184,683

extent of any unfilled balance. In the event

the limit established for that period has been

This limit may be revised if Laos becomes

a member of the World Trade Organization

WTO agreement to Laos.

In carrying out the above directions, the

Commissioner of Customs should construe

entry into the United States for consumption
