     Presidential Determination No. 2000-21

    Memorandum for the Secretary of State

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

        Pursuant to subsection 402(d)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974, as
    amended (the ``Act''), 19 U.S.C. 2432(d)(1), 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 waiver
    applicable to Vietnam 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
