Title 3—

The President

Proclamation 6767 of February 3, 1995

To Amend the Generalized System of Preferences

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

1. Pursuant to sections 501 and 502 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended

(‘‘trade Act’’) (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 2462), and having due regard for the

eligibility criteria set forth therein, I have determined that it is appropriate

to designate Armenia as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of

the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP).

2. Pursuant to section 504(f) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2464(f)), I have

determined that the per capita gross national product of The Bahamas has

exceeded the applicable limit provided for in section 504(f). Accordingly,

pursuant to section 504(a) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2464(a)), I have

determined that it is appropriate to suspend the designation of The Bahamas

as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the GSP, and pursuant

to section 504(f) of the Trade Act, I have determined that it is appropriate

to terminate such designation.

3. Pursuant to section 504(f) of the Trade Act, I have determined that

the per capita gross national product of Israel has exceeded the applicable

limit provided for in section 504(f). Accordingly, I have determined that

it is appropriate to terminate the designation of Israel as a beneficiary

developing country for purposes of the GSP.

4. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) authorizes the President

to embody in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS)

the substance of the provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting

import treatment, and actions thereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States

of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution

and the laws of the United States, including but not limited to sections

501, 504, and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:
