SECTION 1. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND SUPPLEMENTAL ACTION. 
"°*®- 
(a) CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that Bul-
garia— 
(1) has received most-favored-nation treatment since 1991 
and has been found to be in full compliance with the freedom 
of emigration requirements under title IV of the Trade Act 
of 1974 since 1993; 
(2) has reversed many years of Communist dictatorship 
and instituted a constitutional republic ruled by a democrat-
ically elected government as well as basic market-oriented 
reforms, including privatization; 
(3) is in the process of acceding to the General Agreement 
on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the World Trade Organization 
(WTO), and extension of unconditional most-favored-nation 
treatment would enable the United States to avail itself of 
all rights under the GATT and the WTO with respect to Bul-
garia; and 
(4) has demonstrated a strong desire to build friendly rela-
tionships and to cooperate fully with the United States on 
trade matters. 
(b) SUPPLEMENTAL ACTION.—^The Congress notes that the 
United States Trade Representative intends to negotiate with Bul-
garia in order to preserve the commitments of that country under 
the bilateral commercial agreement in effect between that country 
and the United States that are consistent with the GATT and 
the WTO.

President may— 
(1) determine that such title should no longer apply to 
Bulgaria; and

(b) TERMINATION OF APPLICATION OF TITLE IV.—On and after
