    Commissioner of Customs,

        Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel,

    produced or manufactured in Romania and exported during the twelve-
    month period which began on January 1, 1994 and extends through 
    December 31, 1994.
        Effective on September 14, 1994, you are directed to amend the 
    directive dated December 13, 1993 to increase the limits for the 
    following categories, as provided under the terms of the current 
    bilateral agreements between the Governments of the United States 
    and Romania:

        The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has 
    determined that these actions fall within the foreign affairs 
    exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
        Sincerely,
