    Letter to Congressional Leaders on the Reinstatement of Beneficiary
    Trade Status for Chile
    February 4, 1991

    Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)
        I am writing to inform you of my intent to add Chile to the list of
    beneficiary developing countries under the Generalized System of
    Preferences (GSP). The GSP program is authorized by the Trade Act of
    1974, as amended (``the 1974 Act'').
        Chile previously had its GSP eligibility suspended as a result of a
    determination that it had not and was not taking steps to afford
    internationally recognized worker rights to workers in the country, as
    required by section 502(b)(7) of the 1974 Act. As a result of a review
    completed to consider recent changes in law and practice in Chile, I
    have now determined that it meets the worker rights standard of the law
    and is otherwise eligible to have its GSP benefits reinstated.
        This notice is submitted in accordance with section 502(a)(1) of the
    Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
        Sincerely,

                                                                 George Bush

                        Note: Identical letters were sent to Thomas S.
                            Foley, Speaker of the House of Representatives,
                            and Dan Quayle, President of the Senate. The
                            related proclamation is listed in Appendix E at
                            the end of this volume.
