A Proclamation
1. Vietnam has demonstrated a strong desire to build a friendly and
cooperative relationship with the United States and has been found to be
in full compliance with the freedom of emigration requirements under
title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 (the ``1974 Act'';) (19 U.S.C. 2431 et
seq.).
2. Pursuant to section 4002 of H.R. 6111, signed on December 20, 2006, I
hereby determine that chapter 1 of title IV of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C.
2431-2439) should no longer apply to Vietnam.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to
section 4002 of Public Law 109-432 do proclaim that:
1. Nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment) shall
be extended to the products of Vietnam, which shall no longer be subject
to chapter 1 of title IV of the 1974 Act.
2. The extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to the products of
Vietnam shall be effective as of the date of signature of this
proclamation.
3. All provisions of previous proclamations and Executive Orders that
are inconsistent with this proclamation are superseded to the extent of
such inconsistency.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of
December, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
first.
GEORGE W. BUSH
