 103 STAT. 2614 PROCLAMATION 5911—NOV. 19, 1988 converting the TSUS into the format of the Harmonized System, I have determined, pursuant to Title V of the Trade Act of 1974 (the Trade Act), as amended, that certain countries should be redesignated as ben- eficiary developing countries with respect to certain eligible articles and that certain beneficiary developing countries should no longer re- ceive preferential tariff treatment under the GSP with respect to certain eligible articles. I have determined that the modifications for purposes of the GSP set forth in Annex III are necessary or appropriate to imple- ment in the HTS the applicable provisions of Proclamations 5779, 5787, and 5805, and the additional actions associated with implementing these decisions under the HTS nomenclature. 4. Section 604 of the Trade Act, as amended by Section 1214(j)(4) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 2483, as amended), confers authority upon the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, of other acts affecting import treatment, and of actions taken thereimder. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Con- stitution and the statutes of the United States, including but not limited to Sections 1204. 1211, and 1214 of the Act and Title V and Section 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that: (1) For each of the HTS subheadings enumerated in Annex I, the "Gen> eral" subcolumn of rate of duty column 1 shall be modified as provided in such Annex on the dates specified therein. (2) For each of the HTS headings/subheadings emunerated in Annex n, the "Special" subcolumn of rate of duty column 1 shall be modified as provided in such Annex on the dates specified therein. (3) Each occurrence of the symbol corresponding to the United States- Israel Free Trade Area program in the HTS is modified by striking out "I" and inserting "IL" in lieu thereof. (4) The HTS is further modified as set forth in Annexes m and IV to this Proclamation. (5) Any provisions of previous proclamations and Executive orders in- consistent with the provisions of this Proclamation are hereby super- seded to the extent of such inconsistency. (6) The provisions of this Proclamation shall be effective with respect to goods entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on and after January 1, 1989. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 19th day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hun- dred and thirteenth. .
