 PROCLAMATION 4634—JAN. 26, 1979

93 STAT. 1485

that for the purposes of section 203[e)(3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(e](3]) the orderly marketing agreement with Japan does not continue to be effective. I concur with that determination. 5. Pursuant to the authority vested in the President by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, including section 203[a)(5] and 203(e)(3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(5) and 2253(e)(3)), and in order to restore the effectiveness of the orderly marketing agreement with Japan, and to remedy the serious injury to the domestic industry producing color television receivers and certain subassembhes thereof found to exist by the USITC, orderly marketing agreements were concluded on December 14, 1978, and December 29, 1978, between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Korea and Taiwan respectively. The orderly marketing agreements limit the export from the Republic of Korea and Taiwan to the United States of color television receivers and certain subassembhes thereof, for the period February 1, 1979, through June 30, 1980, and set forth conditions under which limitations will be placed on the importation into the United States of such articles by the Government of the United States through quantitative restrictions. These restrictions are to be implemented under the authority of sections 203(a)(5), (e)(3), and (g)(2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(5), (e)(3), and (g)(2)). 6. In accordance with section 203(d)(2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(d)(2)), I have determined that the level of import rehef hereinafter proclaimed permits the importation into the United States of a quantity or value of articles which is not less than the average annual quantity or value of such articles imported into the United States, from the Republic of Korea and from Taiwan, in the 1972-75 period, which I have determined to be the most recent representative period for imports of such articles. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, including sections 203 and 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253 and 2483), and section 301 of Title 3 of the United States Code, do hereby proclaim: (1) Orderly marketing agreements were entered into on December 14, 1978, and December 29, 1978, between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Korea and Taiwan, respectively, with respect to trade in color television receivers and certain subassemblies thereof, effective February 1, 1979. The orderly marketing agreements are to be implemented according to their terms and by quantitative restrictions as directed in this proclamation, including the Annex thereto. (2) Subpart A, part 2 of the Appendix to the Tariff Schedules of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202) is modified as set forth in the Annex to this proclamation. (3) The President's authority under section 203(e)(2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(e)(2)) to negotiate orderly marketing agreements with other foreign suppliers of articles subject to this proclamation after any import relief proclaimed pursuant to section 203(a)(1), (2), (3) or (5) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(1), (2), (3) or (5)) takes effect, is hereby delegated to the Special Representative. The President's authority under section 203(e)(3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(e)(3)) to determine that any agreement negotiated pursuant to section 203(a)(4) or (5) or 203(e)(2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(4) or (5) or 2253(e)(2)) is no longer effective is hereby delegated to the Special Representative, to be exercised in conformity with paragraph (5) below. In the event of such a determination, the Special Representative shall prepare any proclamations that may be appropriate to implement import rehef authorized by section 203(e)(3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(e)(3)).
