-----------------------------------------------------------------------
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Tallarico, International
Trade Specialist, Office of Textiles and Apparel, U.S. Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: Executive Order 11651 of March 3, 1972, as amended;
section 204 of the Agricultural Act of 1956, as amended (7 U.S.C.

On September 13, 1994 a notice was published in the Federal
Register (59 FR 46964) announcing the establishment of export visa
requirements for textiles and textile products, produced or
manufactured in Laos and exported from Laos on and after October 1,
1994.
In the letter published below, the Chairman of CITA directs the
Commissioner of Customs to delay the implementation of the visa
requirements until November 15, 1994. Goods exported from Laos during
the period November 15 through November 30, 1994 shall not be denied
entry for lack of a visa. All goods exported after November 30, 1994
must be accompanied by an appropriate export visa.
Interested persons are advised to take all necessary steps to
ensure that textile products that are entered into the United States
for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, will meet
the visa requirements set forth in the letter published below to the
Commissioner of Customs.
Rita D. Hayes,
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements
September 30, 1994.
Commissioner of Customs,
Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC 20229.
Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel,
the directive issued to you on September 8, 1994, by the Chairman,
Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That
directive directs you to require an export visa for certain textiles
and textile products, produced or manufactured in Laos and exported
from Laos on and after October 1, 1994. You are directed to delay
the implementation of the visa requirements until November 15, 1994.
Effective on October 1, 1994, you are directed to amend the
September 8, 1994 directive to prohibit entry of textiles and
textile products, produced or manufactured in Laos and exported from
Laos on and after November 15, 1994 for which the Government of the
Lao People's Democratic Republic has not issued an appropriate
export visa. Goods exported during the period November 15, 1994
through November 30, 1994 shall not be denied entry for lack of a
visa.
The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has
determined that this action falls within the foreign affairs
exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
Sincerely,
Rita D. Hayes,
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
