June 10, 1953 [No. 3020]

A PROCLAMATION 1. WHEREAS, pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as added by section 31 of the act of August 24, 1935, 49 Stat. 773, reenacted by section 1 of the act of June 3, 1937, 50 Stat. 246, and amended by section 3 of the act of July 3, 1948, 62 Stat. 1248, and section 3 of the act of June 28, 1950, 64 Stat. 261 (7 U.S.C. 624), the President caused the United States Tariff Commission to make an investigation to determine whether almonds, filberts, walnuts, Brazil nuts, or cashews are being or are practically certain to be imported into the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, certain programs or operations undertaken by the Department of Agriculture with respect to almonds, pecans, filberts, or walnuts, or to reduce substantially the amount of any product processed in the United States from almonds, pecans, filberts, or walnuts with respect to which any such program or operation is being undertaken; and 2. WHEREAS the said Commission instituted such investigation on April 13, 1950, and in the course of such investigation has from time to time reported to the President regarding the need for the imposition of restrictions under the said section 22 in order to prevent imports of tree nuts from rendering ineffective, or materially interfering with, tree-nut programs of the Department of Agriculture; and 3. WHEREAS the said Commission reported to the President on September 25, 1952, regarding the need for action under the said section 22 in order to protect tree-nut programs of the Department of Agriculture for the 1952-53 crop year, and the President, on the basis of such report and recommendations^ made by the said Commission in connection therewith, issued a proclamation on September 27, 1952 (Proclamation 2991; 17 F. R. 8645), carrying out in part the said recommendations; and 4. WHEREAS, on the basis of the said report of September 25, 1952, and the investigation covered thereby, I find that shelled filberts (whether or not blanched) are practically certain to be imported during the remainder of the 12-month period ending September 30, 1953, in such quantity and under such conditions as to render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the program undertaken by the Department of zigriculture with respect to filberts pursuant to the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended; and 5. WHEREAS I find and declare that the imposition of the quantitative limitation hereinafter proclaimed is shown by the investigation of the said Commission to be necessary in order that the entry of imported shelled filberts (whether or not blanched) will not render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the said program undertaken by the Department of Agriculture with respect to filberts:
