        Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel, 
    the directive issued to you on November 4, 1998, by the Chairman,

    directive concerns imports of certain cotton, wool and man-made

    extends through December 31, 1999.
        Effective on December 20, 1999, you are directed to increase the 
    current limit for Category 443 to 81,704 numbers \1\, as provided 
    for under the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        \1\ The limit has not been adjusted to account for any imports 
    exported after December 31, 1998.

        The guaranteed access level for Categories 443 remains 
    unchanged.
        The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has 
    determined that this action falls within the foreign affairs 
    exception of the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
        Sincerely,
    Troy H. Cribb,
    Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
