                Proclamation 7449 of June 8, 2001

                
To Implement the Agreement Between the United 
                States of America and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 
                on Trade Relations

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                1. Pursuant to the authority vested in the President by 
                the Constitution and the laws of the United States, and 
                acting through duly empowered representatives, the 
                United States entered into negotiations with 
                representatives of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 
                (``Vietnam'') to conclude an agreement on trade 
                relations between the United States and Vietnam.

                2. These negotiations were conducted in accordance with 
                the requirements of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended 
                (19 U.S.C. 2431 et seq.) (the ``Trade Act'').

                3. As a result of these negotiations, an ``Agreement 
                Between the United States of America and the Socialist 
                Republic of Vietnam on Trade Relations'' (the 
                ``Agreement''), including annexes and an exchange of 
                letters which form an integral part of the Agreement, 
                the foregoing in English and Vietnamese, was signed on 
                July 13, 2000, by duly empowered representatives of the 
                two Governments, and is set forth as an annex to this 
                proclamation.

                4. The Agreement conforms to the requirements relating 
                to bilateral commercial agreements set forth in section 
                405(b) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2435(b)).

                5. Chapter VII, Article 8:1 of the Agreement provides 
                that the Agreement shall enter into force on the date 
                of exchange of written notices of acceptance by the two 
                Governments.

                6. Section 405(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2435(c)) 
                provides that a bilateral commercial agreement 
                providing nondiscriminatory treatment to the products 
                of a country denied such treatment prior to the date of 
                enactment of the Trade Act, and a proclamation 
                implementing such agreement, shall take effect only if 
                a joint resolution described in section 151(b)(3) of 
                the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2191(b)(3)) that approves of 
                the Agreement is enacted into law.

                7. 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, of other acts 
                affecting import treatment, and actions taken 
                thereunder.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the 
                United States of America, acting under authority vested 
                in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United 
                States, including, but not limited to, sections 404, 
                405, and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:

[[Page 31376]]

 This proclamation shall become effective, the Agreement shall enter into 
force, and nondiscriminatory treatment shall be extended to the products of 
Vietnam, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, and after Congress

written notices of acceptance in accordance with Chapter VII, Article 8:1 
of the Agreement. The United States Trade Representative shall publish 
notice of the effective date in the Federal Register.

(2)

Column 2 of the tariff schedule, is modified by striking out ``Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam.''

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                eighth day of June, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand one, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and twenty-fifth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
