        Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel, 
    the directive issued to you on May 25, 1993, by the Chairman, 
    Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That 
    directive concerns imports of certain cotton, wool, man-made fiber, 
    silk blend and other vegetable fiber textiles and textile products, 
    produced or manufactured in Indonesia and exported during the 
    twelve-month period which began on July 1, 1993 and extends through 
    June 30, 1994.
        Effective on January 25, 1994, you are directed to amend further 
    the directive dated May 25, 1993, to adjust the limits for the 
    following categories, as provided under the terms of the current 
    bilateral agreement between the Governments of the United States and 
    Indonesia:

    determined that these actions fall within the foreign affairs 
    exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
        Sincerely,
    Ronald I. Levin,
