I find that the modifications hereinafter proclaimed of the rates of duty applicable to items 155.20 and 155.30 of the TSUS are appropriate to carry out that portion of the Kennedy Round trade agreement set forth in the Headnote, and as provided for therein, give due consideration to the interests in the United States sugar market of domestic producers and materially aflFected, contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and statutes, including section 201 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, and pursuant to General Headnote 4 (b), and Headnote 2, Subpart A of Part 10 of Schedule 1, of Ae TSUS, do hereby proclaim until otherwise superseded by law: A.
