                Proclamation 7326 of June 29, 2000

                
To Extend Nondiscriminatory Treatment (Normal 
                Trade Relations Treatment) to the Products of Albania 
                and Kyrgyzstan

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                1. Albania has made progress, since its emergence from 
                communism, toward democratic rule and the creation of a 
                market economy. Further, I have found Albania to be in 
                full compliance with the freedom of emigration 
                requirements under title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 
                (the ``Trade Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2431, et seq.). In 1998, 
                Albania concluded a bilateral investment treaty with 
                the United States. Albania is in the process of 
                acceding to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The 
                extension of unconditional normal trade relations 
                treatment to the products of Albania will permit the 
                United States to avail itself of all rights under the 
                WTO with respect to Albania when that country becomes a 
                member of the WTO.

                2. Pursuant to section 301(b) of Public Law 106-200, 
                114 Stat. 289, and having due regard for the findings 
                of the Congress in section 301(a) of that law, I hereby 
                determine that title IV of the Trade Act should no 
                longer apply to Albania.

                3. Since 1991, Kyrgyzstan has made great progress 
                toward democratic rule and toward creating a free-
                market economic system. Further, I have found 
                Kyrgyzstan to be in full compliance with the freedom of 
                emigration requirements under title IV of the Trade 
                Act. In 1994, Kyrgyzstan concluded a bilateral 
                investment treaty with the United States, and in 1999 
                Kyrgyzstan became a member of the WTO. The extension of 
                unconditional normal trade relations treatment to the 
                products of Kyrgyzstan will permit the United States to 
                avail itself of all rights under the WTO with respect 
                to Kyrgyzstan.

                4. Pursuant to section 302(b) of Public Law 106-200, 
                114 Stat. 289-90, and having due regard for the 
                findings of the Congress in section 302(a) of that law, 
                I hereby determine that title IV of the Trade Act 
                should no longer apply to Kyrgyzstan.

                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 sections 
                301(b)(1)(B) and 302(b)(1)(B) of Public Law 106-200, do 
                hereby proclaim that:

                    (1) Nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade 
                relations treatment) shall be extended to the products 
                of Albania;
                    (2) The extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to 
                the products of Albania shall be effective as of the 
                date of signature of this proclamation;
                    (3) Nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade 
                relations treatment) shall be extended to the products 
                of Kyrgyzstan;
                    (4) The extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to 
                the products of Kyrgyzstan shall be effective as of the 
                date of signature of this proclamation.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-ninth day of June, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand, and of the Independence of the United States 
                of America the two hundred and twenty-fourth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)
