directive concerns imports of certain cotton and man-made fiber 
textile products, produced or manufactured in Pakistan and exported 
during the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 1995 and 
extending through December 31, 1995.
    Effective on October 31, 1995, you are directed to adjust the 
limits for the following categories, as provided under the Uruguay 
Round Agreements Act and the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and 
Clothing:

                                             Adjusted twelve-month limit
                 Category                                \1\            
------------------------------------------------------------------------
360.......................................  1,630,063 numbers.          
361.......................................  3,315,821 numbers.          
------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The limits have not been adjusted to account for any imports        
  exported after December 31, 1994.                                     

    The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has 
determined that these actions fall within the foreign affairs
