Dear Commissioner: Under the terms of

section 204 of the Agricultural Act of 1956,

as amended (7 U.S.C. 1854); pursuant to the

Bilateral Textile Agreement, effected by

exchange of notes dated May 24, 1991 and

August 20, 1991, as amended and extended,

between the Governments of the United

States and the Republic of Fiji; and in

accordance with the provisions of Executive

Order 11651 of March 3, 1972, as amended,

you are directed to prohibit, effective on

April 3, 1995, entry into the United States for

consumption and withdrawal from

Imports charged to this category limit for

of restraint to the extent of any unfilled

balance. In the event the limit established for

that period has been exhausted by previous

level set forth in this directive.

Should Fiji become a member of the World

Trade Organization (WTO), the limit set forth

above will be subject to adjustment in the

future pursuant to the provisions of the

Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and

Clothing and any administrative arrangement

notified to the Textiles Monitoring Body.

In carrying out the above directions, the

Commissioner of Customs should construe

entry into the United States for consumption

to include entry for consumption into the

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

The Committee for the Implementation of

Textile Agreements has determined that this

action falls within the foreign affairs

exception of the rulemaking provisions of 5

U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
