Presidential Determination No. 97-28

Memorandum for the Secretary of State

Subject: Presidential Determination Under Subsection 402(d)(1) of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as Amended--Continuation of Waiver Authority

    Pursuant to subsection 402(d)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended (the ``Act''), I determine that the further extension of the 
waiver authority granted by subsection 402(c) of the Act will 
substantially promote the objectives of section 402 of the Act. I 
further determine that the continuation of the waivers applicable to 
Albania, Belarus, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and 
Uzbekistan will substantially promote the objectives of section 402 of 
the Act.
    You are authorized and directed to publish this determination in the 
Federal Register.
                                            William J. Clinton
