qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade

Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and
the Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the
application, as amended, is in the public interest;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone
status at the computer and related electronic products manufacturing
facilities of the Hewlett-Packard Company, located in the Bridgewater
