 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that are inconsistent with this proclamation are superseded to the 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
