I have the honor to state, with reference to Article IV of the Trade Agreement signed this day, that in the event of the Government of the United Kingdom deciding to regulate, in connection with a recom- mendation of the International Beef Conference, imports of any type of beef or veal, including offals thereof, imported from the United States of America, the Government of the United States of America would not claim for such products any freedom from quantitative regulation to which a right would otherwise exist by virtue of the pro- visions of the said Article IV. It is my understanding that the Government of the United King- dom would not impose any regulation of imports in the circumstances described in the foregoing paragraph unless exports from the countries represented on the Conference were being regulated by the countries concerned in accordance with plans approved by the Government of the United Kingdom, and that before imposing such quantitative regulation the Government of the United Kingdom would consult with the Government of the United States of America regarding the proposed action. Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consider- ation. CORDELL EHULL His Excellency The Honorable SIB RONALD LNDAY, P.C., G.C.M.G., C.B., C.V.O., British Ambassador. 1994
