    Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel, 
the directive issued to you on February 1, 1999, by the Chairman, 
Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That 
directive concerns imports of certain cotton, wool and man-made 
fiber textile products, produced or manufactured in Cambodia and 
exported during the twelve-month period which began on January 1, 
1999 and extends through December 31, 1999.
    Effective on October 27, 1999, you are directed to adjust the 
current limits for the following categories, as provided for under 
the terms of the current bilateral textile agreement between the 
Governments of the United States and Cambodia:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                             Adjusted twelve-month limit
                 Category                                \1\
------------------------------------------------------------------------
438.......................................  100,800 dozen.
645/646...................................  170,049 dozen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The limits have not been adjusted to account for any imports
  exported after December 31, 1998.

    The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has 
determined that these actions fall within the foreign affairs 
exception of the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
