Proclamation 7449 of June 8, 2001
To Implement the Agreement Between the United
States of America and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
on Trade Relations
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
1. Pursuant to the authority vested in the President by
the Constitution and the laws of the United States, and
acting through duly empowered representatives, the
United States entered into negotiations with
representatives of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
(``Vietnam'') to conclude an agreement on trade
relations between the United States and Vietnam.
2. These negotiations were conducted in accordance with
the requirements of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended
(19 U.S.C. 2431 et seq.) (the ``Trade Act'').
3. As a result of these negotiations, an ``Agreement
Between the United States of America and the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam on Trade Relations'' (the
``Agreement''), including annexes and an exchange of
letters which form an integral part of the Agreement,
the foregoing in English and Vietnamese, was signed on
July 13, 2000, by duly empowered representatives of the
two Governments, and is set forth as an annex to this
proclamation.
4. The Agreement conforms to the requirements relating
to bilateral commercial agreements set forth in section
405(b) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2435(b)).
5. Chapter VII, Article 8:1 of the Agreement provides
that the Agreement shall enter into force on the date
of exchange of written notices of acceptance by the two
Governments.
6. Section 405(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2435(c))
provides that a bilateral commercial agreement
providing nondiscriminatory treatment to the products
of a country denied such treatment prior to the date of
enactment of the Trade Act, and a proclamation
implementing such agreement, shall take effect only if
a joint resolution described in section 151(b)(3) of
the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2191(b)(3)) that approves of
the Agreement is enacted into law.
7. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483)
authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) the
substance of the provisions of that Act, of other acts
affecting import treatment, and actions taken
thereunder.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the
United States of America, acting under authority vested
in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United
States, including, but not limited to, sections 404,
405, and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:
[[Page 31376]]
(1)
This proclamation shall become effective, the Agreement shall enter into
force, and nondiscriminatory treatment shall be extended to the products of
Vietnam, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, and after Congress
approves the Agreement by joint resolution, on the date of exchange of
written notices of acceptance in accordance with Chapter VII, Article 8:1
of the Agreement. The United States Trade Representative shall publish
notice of the effective date in the Federal Register.
(2)
Effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse
for consumption, on or after the date provided in paragraph (1) of this
proclamation, general note 3(b) to the HTS, enumerating those countries
whose products are subject to duty at rates set forth in Rates of Duty
Column 2 of the tariff schedule, is modified by striking out ``Socialist
Republic of Vietnam.''
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
eighth day of June, in the year of our Lord two
thousand one, and of the Independence of the United
States of America the two hundred and twenty-fifth.
(Presidential Sig.)B
