-----------------------------------------------------------------------

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 26, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicole Bivens Collinson, International 
Trade Specialist, Office of Textiles and Apparel, U.S. Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Authority: Executive Order 11651 of March 3, 1972, as amended; 
section 204 of the Agricultural Act of 1956, as amended (7 U.S.C. 
1854).

    The United States Government has determined to rescind the current 
restraint level on textile products in Categories 340/640 from El 
Salvador in view of recent statistical information concerning a 
restraint on these categories at this time.
    The United States reserves its right under the Arrangement 
Regarding International Trade in Textiles done in Geneva on December 
20, 1973 and extended on December 14, 1977, December 22, 1981, July 31, 
1986, December 9, 1992 and December 9, 1993, to place these Categories 
340/640 under a restraint should the statistical information change in 
the future.
    In the letter published below, the Chairman of CITA directs the 
Commissioner of Customs to cancel the current limit for Categories 340/
640.
    Should it become necessary to discuss Categories 340/640 with the 
Government of El Salvador at a later date, further notice will be 
published in the Federal Register.
    A description of the textile and apparel categories in terms of HTS 
numbers is available in the CORRELATION: Textile and Apparel Categories 
with the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (see Federal 
Register notice 58 FR 62645, published on November 29, 1993). Also see 
58 FR 35501, published on July 12, 1994.
    The letter to the Commissioner of Customs and the actions taken 
pursuant to it are not designed to implement all of the provisions of 
the bilateral agreement, but are designed to assist only in the 
implementation of certain of its provisions.
Rita D. Hayes,
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.

    Dear Commissioner: Effective on September 26, 1994, this 
directive cancels the limit established in the directive issued to

textile products in Categories 340/640, produced or manufactured in 
El Salvador and exported during the twelve-month period which began

    Sincerely,
Rita D. Hayes,
