Sec. 1862. Safeguarding national security


(a) Prohibition on decrease or elimination of duties or other import 
        restrictions if such reduction or elimination would threaten to 
        impair national security

    No action shall be taken pursuant to section 1821(a) of this title

any article, the Secretary shall submit to the President a report on the 
findings of such investigation with respect to the effect of the 
importation of such article in such quantities or under such 
circumstances upon the national security and, based on such findings, 
the recommendations of the Secretary for action or inaction under this 
section. If the Secretary finds that such article is being imported into 
the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to 
threaten to impair the national security, the Secretary shall so advise

an article is being imported into the United States in such quantities 
or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national 
security, the President shall--
        (i) determine whether the President concurs with the finding of 
    the Secretary, and
        (ii) if the President concurs, determine the nature and duration 
    of the action that, in the judgment of the President, must be taken 
    to adjust the imports of the article and its derivatives so that 
    such imports will not threaten to impair the national security.

    (B) If the President determines under subparagraph (A) to take

        being carried out or is ineffective in eliminating the threat to 
        the national security posed by imports of such article,

the President shall take such other actions as the President deems 
necessary to adjust the imports of such article so that such imports 
will not threaten to impair the national security. The President shall 
publish in the Federal Register notice of any additional actions being 
taken under this section by reason of this subparagraph.
    (B) If--
        (i) clauses (i) and (ii) of subparagraph (A) apply, and

(d) \1\ Domestic production for national defense; impact of foreign 
        competition on economic welfare of domestic industries
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ So in original. There are two subsecs. designated (d). Second 
subsec. (d) probably should be designated (e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    For the purposes of this section, the Secretary and the President 
shall, in the light of the requirements of national security and without 
excluding other relevant factors, give consideration to domestic 
production needed for projected national defense requirements, the 
capacity of domestic industries to meet such requirements, existing and 
anticipated availabilities of the human resources, products, raw 
materials, and other supplies and services essential to the national 
defense, the requirements of growth of such industries and such supplies 
and services including the investment, exploration, and development 
necessary to assure such growth, and the importation of goods in terms 
of their quantities, availabilities, character, and use as those affect 
such industries and the capacity of the United States to meet national 
security requirements. In the administration of this section, the 
Secretary and the President shall further recognize the close relation 
of the economic welfare of the Nation to our national security, and 
shall take into consideration the impact of foreign competition on the 
economic welfare of individual domestic industries; and any substantial 
unemployment, decrease in revenues of government, loss of skills or 
investment, or other serious effects resulting from the displacement of 
any domestic products by excessive imports shall be considered, without 
excluding other factors, in determining whether such weakening of our 
internal economy may impair the national security.

(d) \1\ Report by Secretary of Commerce

    (1) Upon the disposition of each request, application, or motion 
under subsection (b) of this section, the Secretary shall submit to the 
Congress, and publish in the Federal Register, a report on such 
disposition.
    (2) Omitted.

(f) Congressional disapproval of Presidential adjustment of imports of 
        petroleum or petroleum products; disapproval resolution

    (1) An action taken by the President under subsection (c) of this 
section to adjust imports of petroleum or petroleum products shall cease 
to have force and effect upon the enactment of a disapproval resolution, 
provided for in paragraph (2), relating to that action.
    (2)(A) This paragraph is enacted by the Congress--
        (i) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the House of 
    Representatives and the Senate, respectively, and as such is deemed 
    a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but applicable only 
    with respect to the procedures to be followed in that House in the 
    case of disapproval resolutions and such procedures supersede other 
    rules only to the extent that they are inconsistent therewith; and
        (ii) with the full recognition of the constitutional right of 
    either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the 
    procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the 
    same extent as any other rule of that House.

    (B) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``disapproval 
resolution'' means only a joint resolution of either House of Congress 
the matter after the resolving clause of which is as follows: ``That the 
Congress disapproves the action taken under section 232 of the Trade 
Expansion Act of 1962 with respect to petroleum imports under 
____________ dated ____________.'', the first blank space being filled 
with the number of the proclamation, Executive order, or other Executive 
act issued under the authority of subsection (c) of this section for 
purposes of adjusting imports of petroleum or petroleum products and the 
second blank being filled with the appropriate date.
    (C)(i) All disapproval resolutions introduced in the House of 
Representatives shall be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and 
all disapproval resolutions introduced in the Senate shall be referred 
to the Committee on Finance.
    (ii) No amendment to a disapproval resolution shall be in order in 
either the House of Representatives or the Senate, and no motion to 
suspend the application of this clause shall be in order in either House 
nor shall it be in order in either House for the Presiding Officer to 
entertain a request to suspend the application of this clause by 
unanimous consent.

       Proc. No. 5141. Imports of Petroleum and Petroleum Products

    Proc. No. 5141, Dec. 22, 1983, 48 F.R. 56929, provided:
    The Secretary of Energy has advised me that no purpose is currently 
served by the existing system of licensing of imports of petroleum and 
petroleum products. The Secretary of Energy also recommends that I 
retain the current prohibition on imports of Libyan crude oil into the 
United States, its territories and possessions, which was adopted in 
Proclamation No. 4907 [amending Proc. No. 3279, formerly set out above], 
on the ground that such imports would be inimical to the United States 
national security. The Secretary further recommends that he continue to 
monitor imports of petroleum and petroleum products in order to be able 
to advise me as to the need for further action, as appropriate, under 
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended [this 
section].
    I agree with the recommendations of the Secretary of Energy.
    NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of 
America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of 
the United States, including Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 
1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862), do hereby proclaim that:
    Section 1. Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, is revoked.
    Sec. 2. The Secretary of Energy shall continue to monitor imports of 
petroleum and petroleum products and shall, from time to time, in 
consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Commerce, and 
such other federal agencies as he deems appropriate, review the status 
of such imports with respect to the national security. The Secretary 
shall inform the President of any circumstances which in his opinion 
might indicate the need for further action by the President under 
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act [this section].
    Sec. 3. (a) No crude oil produced in Libya may be imported into the 
United States, its territories or possessions.
    (b) The Secretary of the Treasury may issue such regulations and 
interpretations as he deems necessary to implement this section.
    Sec. 4. The Secretary of Energy may continue to consider requests 
for refund of fees paid under Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, if such 
requests were filed with the Secretary prior to the effective date of 
this Proclamation [Dec. 22, 1983]. Any such requests shall be considered 
in accordance with the previously applicable provisions of Proclamation 
No. 3279, as amended, and implementing regulations thereunder.
    Sec. 5. The revocation of Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, shall 
not affect the authority of any federal department or agency to 
institute and conduct any administrative, civil or criminal audit, 
investigation or proceeding based on any act committed or liability 
incurred while that Proclamation was in effect.
    Sec. 6. The revocation of Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, shall 
not affect the presently applicable tariff rates for imports of 
petroleum and petroleum products, as reflected in the Tariff Schedules 
of the United States, Schedule 4, part 10.
    Sec. 7. This Proclamation shall be effective immediately.
    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 22nd day of 
December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and 
of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and 
eighth.
