Title 3--
The President
                Proclamation 6714 of August 17, 1994

 
To Amend the Generalized System of Preferences

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                1. Pursuant to sections 501 and 502 of the Trade Act of 
                1974, as amended (``Trade Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 
                2462), and having due regard for the eligibility 
                criteria set forth therein, I have determined that it 
                is appropriate to designate Belarus and Uzbekistan as 
                beneficiary developing countries for purposes of the 
                Generalized System of Preferences (``GSP'').

                2. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) 
                authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized 
                Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTS'') the 
                substance of the provisions of that Act, and of other 
                acts affecting import treatment, and actions 
                thereunder.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the 
                United States of America, acting under the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, including but not limited to sections 
                501 and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:

                    (1) General note 4(a) to the HTS, listing those 
                countries whose products are eligible for benefits of 
                the GSP, is modified by inserting ``Belarus'' and 
                ``Uzbekistan'' in alphabetical order in the enumeration 
                of independent countries.
                    (2) Any provisions of previous proclamations and 
                Executive orders inconsistent with the provisions of 
                this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent 
                of such inconsistency.
                    (3) The modifications to the HTS made by paragraph 
                (1) of this proclamation shall be effective with 
                respect to articles that are: (i) imported on or after 
                January 1, 1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from 
                warehouse for consumption, on or after 15 days after 
                the date of publication of this proclamation in the 
                Federal Register.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                seventeenth day of August, in the year of our Lord 
                nineteen hundred and ninety-four, and of the 
                Independence of the United States of America the two 
                hundred and nineteenth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)>
