Whereas, by an Act of Congress approved June 18, 1934, an Act ``To

Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) is authorized to grant to
qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade

comment was given in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 27-94, 59 FR
39234, 8/2/94); and,
Whereas, the application includes a request for authority to
assemble/process stereo systems and camera kits under zone procedures;
