 To clarify the rules of origin for textile and apparel products from 
                            American Samoa.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That, on and after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, section 334 of the Uruguay Round 
Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3592) shall not affect, for purposes of the 
customs laws and administration of quantitative restrictions, the 
status of textile and apparel products that are cut in American Samoa 
from fabric wholly formed in the United States and, under rulings and 
administrative practices in effect on June 30, 1996, would have 
originated in, or been the growth, product, or manufacture of, American 
Samoa.
