     addition, the United States understands that the limit

     that article, the Venezuelan Branch Tax shall be imposed only 
     on an amount not in excess of the amount that is analogous to 
     the ``dividend equivalent amount'' defined in subparagraph 
     (a) of paragraph 10 of the Protocol with respect to the 
     United States.
       (b) Declarations.--The Senate's advice and consent is 
     subject to the following declarations, which shall be binding 
     on the President:
       (1) New venezuelan tax law.--Before the President may 
     notify Venezuela pursuant to Article 29 of the Constitution

     and appropriate to the obligations under the Convention.
