                Proclamation 6922 of September 27, 1996

                
To Extend Nondiscriminatory Treatment (Most-
                Favored-
                Nation Treatment) to the Products of Bulgaria

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                The United States has had in effect a bilateral 
                Agreement on Trade Relations with Bulgaria since 1991, 
                which was last renewed for an additional 3-year term in 
                1994. Pursuant to my authority under subsection 
                405(b)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
                2435(b)(1)), I reconfirm that a satisfactory balance of 
                concessions in trade and services has been maintained 
                during the life of the Agreement and that actual or 
                foreseeable reductions in U.S. tariffs and nontariff 
                barriers to trade resulting from multilateral 
                negotiations are, and continuously have been, 
                satisfactorily reciprocated by Bulgaria.

                Moreover, pursuant to section 2 of Public Law 104-162, 
                and having due regard for the findings of the Congress 
                in section 1 of said Law, I hereby determine that title 
                IV of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2431-2441) 
                should no longer apply to Bulgaria.

                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 section 2 
                of Public Law 104-162, do proclaim that:

                    (1) Nondiscriminatory treatment (most-favored-
                nation treatment) shall be extended to the products of 
                Bulgaria, which will no longer be subject to title IV 
                of the Trade Act of 1974.
                    (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                this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent 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 extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to 
                the products of Bulgaria shall be effective as of the 
                date of publication of this proclamation in the Federal 
                Register.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-seventh day of September, in the year of our 
                Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-six, and of the 
                Independence of the United States of America the two 
                hundred and twenty-first.

                    (Presidential Sig.)
