    Memorandum on Trade Agreements
    May 31, 1993

    Memorandum for the United States Trade Representative

    Subject: Presidential Determination Under Section 1105(b)(1) of the
    Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988

        Section 1105(b)(1) of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of
    1988 (Public Law 100-48; 19 U.S.C. 2904(b)(1)) (``the Act''), provides
    that the President shall determine, before June 1, 1993, whether any
    major industrial country has failed to make concessions under trade
    agreements entered into under section 1102(a) and (b) of the Act (19
    U.S.C. 2902(a) and (b)) which provide opportunities for the commerce of
    the United States in such country substantially equivalent to the
    competitive opportunities, provided by concessions made by the United
    States under trade agreements entered into under section 1102(a) and (b)
    of the Act, for the commerce of such country in the United States.
        Since the United States has not entered into any agreements under
    section 1102(a) or (b) of the Act, I hereby determine that there has
    been no failure to make concessions thereunder.

                                                          William J. Clinton
