    Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel, 
the directive issued to you on November 18, 1993, by the Chairman, 
Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That

which began on January 1, 1994 and extends through December 31,

    Effective on September 8, 1994, you are directed to increase the 
current Guaranteed Access Level for Categories 338/339/638/639 to 
2,500,000 dozen.
    The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has 
determined that this action falls within the foreign affairs 
exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
    Sincerely,
Rita D. Hayes,
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
