and other major trading countries have committed to acceptance of the

Trade Organization (WTO Agreement), to ensure the effective operation

(Public Law 103-465; 108 Stat. 4809) and section 301 of title 3, United 
States Code, I hereby direct the United States Trade Representative, or 
his designee, to accept the Uruguay Round
