``SEC. 101. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.
    ``The Congress finds the following:
        ``(1) The Government of the United States extended full 
    diplomatic recognition to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in 1922.
        ``(2) The Government of the United States entered into 
    agreements extending most-favored-nation treatment with the 
    Government of Estonia on August 1, 1925, the Government of Latvia on 
    April 30, 1926, and the Government of Lithuania on July 10, 1926.
        ``(3) The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics incorporated 
    Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania involuntarily into the Union as a 
    result of a secret protocol to a German-Soviet agreement in 1939 
    which assigned those three states to the Soviet sphere of influence; 
    and the Government of the United States has at no time recognized 
    the forcible incorporation of those states into the Union of Soviet 
    Socialist Republics.
        ``(4) The Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1951 [see Short 
    Title of 1951 Amendment note set out under section 1654 of this 
    title] required the President to suspend, withdraw, or prevent the 
    application of trade benefits, including most-favored-nation 
    treatment, to countries under the domination or control of the world 
    Communist movement.
        ``(5) In 1951, responsible representatives of Estonia, Latvia, 
    and Lithuania stated that they did not object to the imposition of 
    `such controls as the Government of the United States may consider 
    to be appropriate' to the products of those countries, for such time 
    as those countries remained under Soviet domination or control.
        ``(6) In 1990, the democratically elected governments of 
    Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania declared the restoration of their 
    independence from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
        ``(7) The Government of the United States established diplomatic 
    relations with Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania on September 2, 1991, 
    and on September 6, 1991, the State Council of the transitional 
    government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics recognized the 
    independence of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, thereby ending the 
    involuntary incorporation of those countries into, and the 
    domination of those countries by, the Soviet Union.
        ``(8) Immediate action should be taken to remove the 
    impediments, imposed in response to the circumstances referred to in 
    paragraph (5), in United States trade laws to the extension of 
    nondiscriminatory treatment (most-favored-nation treatment) to the 
    products of those countries.
        ``(9) As a consequence of establishment of United States 
    diplomatic relations with Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, these 
    independent countries are eligible to receive the benefits of the 
    Generalized System of Preferences provided for in title V of the 
    Trade Act of 1974 [19 U.S.C. 2461 et seq.].

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2431 et seq.) or any other provision of 
law, nondiscriminatory treatment (most-favored-nation treatment) applies 
to the products of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
    ``(b) Conforming Tariff Schedule Amendments.--General Note 3(b) of 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States is amended by 
striking out `Estonia', `Latvia', and `Lithuania'.
    ``(c) Effective Date.--Subsection (a) and the amendments made by 
subsection (b) apply with respect to goods entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse for consumption, on or after the 15th day after the date of 
the enactment of this Act [Dec. 4, 1991].

        1974 TO THE BALTICS.

cease to apply to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania effective as of the 
15th day after the date of the enactment of this Act [Dec. 4, 1991].
``SEC. 104. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING PROMPT PROVISION OF GSP 
        TREATMENT TO THE PRODUCTS OF ESTONIA, LATVIA, AND LITHUANIA.
    ``It is the sense of the Congress that the President should take 
prompt action under title V of the Trade Act of 1974 [19 U.S.C. 2461 et 
seq.] to provide preferential tariff treatment to the products of 
Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania pursuant to the Generalized System of

  Proc. No. 7207. To Extend Nondiscriminatory Treatment (Normal Trade 
    Relations Treatment) to Products of Mongolia and To Implement an 
 Agreement To Eliminate Tariffs on Certain Pharmaceuticals and Chemical 
                              Intermediates

    Proc. No. 7207, July 1, 1999, 64 F.R. 36549, provided:
    1. The United States has had in effect a bilateral Agreement on 
Trade Relations with Mongolia since 1991 and has provided normal trade 
relations treatment to the products of Mongolia since that time. I have 
found Mongolia to be in full compliance with the freedom of emigration 
requirements of title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 (the ``Trade Act'') 
(19 U.S.C. 2432).
    2. Pursuant to section 2424(b)(1) of Public Law 106-36 [set out as a 
note above], and having due regard for the findings of the Congress in 
section 2424(a) of said Law, I hereby determine that title IV of the 
Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2431-2441) should no longer apply to Mongolia.
    3. On November 13, 1998, members of the World Trade Organization 
(WTO), including the United States and 21 other major trading countries, 
announced in the WTO an agreement to eliminate tariffs on certain 
pharmaceuticals and chemical intermediates that were the subject of 
reciprocal duty elimination negotiations during the Uruguay Round of 
Multilateral Trade Negotiations (the ``Uruguay Round''). A similar 
agreement between the United States and 16 other major trading countries 
eliminating tariffs on enumerated pharmaceuticals and chemical 
intermediates was implemented for the United States on April 1, 1997, by 
Proclamation 6982 [not classified to the Code], adding such goods to the 
scope of the agreement on pharmaceutical products reached at the 
conclusion of the Uruguay Round and reflected in Schedule XX-United 
States of America, annexed to the Marrakesh Protocol to the General 
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (1994) (Schedule XX).
    4. Section 111(b) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) (19 
U.S.C. 3521(b)) authorizes the President to proclaim the modification of 
any duty or staged rate reduction of any duty set forth in Schedule XX 
for products that were the subject of reciprocal duty elimination 
negotiations during the Uruguay Round, if the United States agrees to 
such action in a multilateral negotiation under the auspices of the WTO, 
and after compliance with the consultation and layover requirements of 
section 115 of the URAA (19 U.S.C. 3524). Section 111(b) also authorizes 
the President to proclaim such modifications as are necessary to reflect 
such duty treatment in Schedule XX by means of rectifications thereof.
    5. On April 29, 1999, pursuant to section 115 of the URAA, the 
United States Trade Representative (USTR) submitted a report to the 
Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Finance of the Senate (``the Committees'') that sets forth 
the proposed tariff eliminations, together with the advice received from 
the appropriate private sector advisory committee and the United States 
International Trade Commission regarding the proposed tariff 
eliminations. During the 60-day period thereafter, the USTR consulted 
with the Committees on the proposed actions.
    6. Section 604 of the Trade Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), 
authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 
the United States (HTS) [see 19 U.S.C. 1202] the substance of the 
relevant provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting import 
treatment, and actions thereunder, including the removal, modification, 
continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import 
restriction.
    7. Pursuant to section 111(b) of the URAA, I have determined that 
Schedule XX should be modified to reflect the implementation by the 
United States of the multilateral agreement on certain pharmaceuticals 
and chemical intermediates negotiated under the auspices of the WTO. In 
addition, I have determined that the pharmaceuticals appendix to the HTS 
should be modified to reflect the duty eliminations provided in such 
agreement, and to make certain minor technical corrections in the 
identification of particular products in order to ensure that products 
are accorded the intended duty treatment.
    NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United 
States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the 
Constitution and the laws of the United States, including but not 
limited to section 2424(b)(2) of Public Law 106-36, section 111(b) of 
the URAA, and section 604 of the Trade Act, do hereby proclaim that:
    (1) Nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment) 
shall be extended to the products of Mongolia, which shall no longer be 
subject to title IV of the Trade Act.
    (2) The extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to the products of 
Mongolia shall be effective as of the date of signature of this 
proclamation.
    (3) In order to implement the multilateral agreement negotiated 
under the auspices of the WTO to eliminate tariffs on certain 
pharmaceutical products and chemical intermediates, and to make 
technical corrections in the tariff treatment accorded to such products, 
the HTS is modified as set forth in the Annex to this proclamation.
    (4) Such modifications to the HTS shall be effective with respect to 
articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or 
after the dates set forth in the Annex for the respective actions taken.
    (5) Any provisions of previous proclamations and Executive orders 
that are inconsistent with the actions taken in this proclamation are 
superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.
    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of 
July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-nine, and of 
the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and 
twenty-third.
                                                     William J. Clinton.

                                  Annex

    The Annex of Proclamation 7207, which amended the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States, is not set out under this section because 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule is not set out in the Code. See 
Publication of Harmonized Tariff Schedule note set out under section 
1202 of this title.

 Proc. No. 7326. Extension of Nondiscriminatory Treatment (Normal Trade 
       Relations Treatment) to Products of Albania and Kyrgyzstan

    Proc. No. 7326, June 29, 2000, 65 F.R. 41547, provided:
    1. Albania has made progress, since its emergence from communism, 
toward democratic rule and the creation of a market economy. Further, I 
have found Albania to be in full compliance with the freedom of 
emigration requirements under title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 (the 
``Trade Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2431, et seq.). In 1998, Albania concluded a 
bilateral investment treaty with the United States. Albania is in the 
process of acceding to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The extension 
of unconditional normal trade relations treatment to the products of 
Albania will permit the United States to avail itself of all rights 
under the WTO with respect to Albania when that country becomes a member 
of the WTO.
    2. Pursuant to section 301(b) of Public Law 106-200, 114 Stat. 289 
[set out as a note above], and having due regard for the findings of the 
Congress in section 301(a) of that law [set out as a note above], I 
hereby determine that title IV of the Trade Act should no longer apply 
to Albania.
    3. Since 1991, Kyrgyzstan has made great progress toward democratic 
rule and toward creating a free-market economic system. Further, I have 
found Kyrgyzstan to be in full compliance with the freedom of emigration 
requirements under title IV of the Trade Act. In 1994, Kyrgyzstan 
concluded a bilateral investment treaty with the United States, and in 
1999 Kyrgyzstan became a member of the WTO. The extension of 
unconditional normal trade relations treatment to the products of 
Kyrgyzstan will permit the United States to avail itself of all rights 
under the WTO with respect to Kyrgyzstan.
    4. Pursuant to section 302(b) of Public Law 106-200, 114 Stat. 289-
90 [set out as a note above], and having due regard for the findings of 
the Congress in section 302(a) of that law [set out as a note above], I 
hereby determine that title IV of the Trade Act should no longer apply 
to Kyrgyzstan.
    NOW, THEREFORE, I WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States 
of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution 
and the laws of the United States, including but not limited to sections 
301(b)(1)(B) and 302(b)(1)(B) of Public Law 106-200, do hereby proclaim 
that:
    (1) Nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment) 
shall be extended to the products of Albania;
    (2) The extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to the products of 
Albania shall be effective as of the date of signature of this 
proclamation;
    (3) Nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment) 
shall be extended to the products of Kyrgyzstan;
    (4) The extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to the products of 
Kyrgyzstan shall be effective as of the date of signature of this 
proclamation.
    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth 
day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the 
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-
fourth.
                                                     William J. Clinton.

 Proc. No. 7389. Extension of Nondiscriminatory Treatment (Normal Trade 
     Relations Treatment) to the Products of the Republic of Georgia

    Proc. No. 7389, Dec. 29, 2000, 66 F.R. 703, provided:
    1. The Republic of Georgia (Georgia) has made progress, since its 
emergence from communism, toward democratic rule and the creation of a 
free market economy. Georgia has also made considerable progress toward 
respecting fundamental human rights consistent with the objectives of 
title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 (the ``Trade Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2431, 
et seq.). Further, I have found Georgia to be in full compliance with 
the freedom of emigration requirements under the Trade Act. In 1993, 
Georgia concluded a bilateral trade agreement with the United States and 
in 1994 concluded a bilateral investment treaty with the United States. 
Georgia acceded to the World Trade Organization (WTO) on June 14, 2000. 
The extension of unconditional normal trade relations treatment to the 
products of Georgia will permit the United States to avail itself of all 
rights under the WTO with respect to Georgia.
    2. Pursuant to section 3002 of Public Law 106-476, 114 Stat. 2101, 
2175 [set out in a note above], and having due regard for the findings 
of the Congress in section 3001 of that law [set out in a note above], I 
hereby determine that title IV of the Trade Act should no longer apply 
to Georgia.
    NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United 
States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the 
Constitution and the laws of the United States, including but not 
limited to section 3002 of Public Law 106-476, do hereby proclaim that:
    (1) Nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment) 
shall be extended to the products of Georgia; and
    (2) The extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to the products of 
Georgia shall be effective as of the date of signature of this 
proclamation.
    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth 
day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the 
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-
fifth.
                                                     William J. Clinton.
