Modifications on Canadian Plywood

Dear Mr. Chairman:
    Pursuant to section 103 of the United States-Canada Free-Trade 
Agreement (CFTA) Implementation Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-449), I am 
pleased to submit the attached report and related documents pertaining 
to a proposed action to proceed with staged tariff reductions on certain 
plywood originating in Canada in accordance with the provisions of 
article 2008 of the CFTA, implementation of which had been delayed 
pending preparation and implementation of common performance standards 
into the building codes in the United States and Canada.
    Sincerely,

                                                             George Bush

                        and Means, and Lloyd Bentsen, Chairman, Senate 
                        Committee on Finance. The related proclamation
