    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

    Section 334 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3592)

determine the origin of textile and apparel products of American Samoa 
shall continue to apply with respect to such products on and after the 
date of the enactment of this Act.
