    Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel, 
the directive issued to you on November 29, 1994, by the Chairman, 
Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That 
directive concerns imports of certain cotton, wool and man-made

    Effective on December 8, 1995, you are directed to increase the 
guaranteed access level for Categories 352/652 to 13,300,000 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,
Troy H. Cribb,
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
