                                 A BILL


 
To direct the President to impose certain limitations on the amount of 
   milk protein products that may be imported into the United States.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That to ensure that 
quantities of milk protein products imported into the United States 
will not render ineffective, or materially interfere with, price 
support operations undertaken by the Department of Agriculture under 
the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1441 et seq.), the President 
shall by proclamation limit the quantity of milk protein products, 
including casein, caseinates, lactalbumin, and whey protein 
concentrates, or mixtures containing not less than 5 per centum of such 
products, which may be entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for 
consumption, in any calendar year (or portion of a calendar year in the 
case of the calendar year in which this Act is enacted) during the 
period beginning on the day after the date of the enactment of this Act 
and ending December 31, 1994, to a quantity equal to 50 per centum of 
the average of the quantity of such milk protein products annually 
imported into the United States during the period beginning January 1, 
1983, and ending December 1, 1987 (or, in the case of such portion of a 
calendar year, a proportionately lesser quantity). Such proclamation 
shall be considered a proclamation which is issued by the President 
under section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act (7 U.S.C. 624) and 
which meets the requirements of such section.
