A PROCLAMATION
18
19.

20.
.20
21.
Import quota limitations have been imposed on certain
.21
22.
dairy products, including dried milk, pursuant to the pro-
.22
23.
visions of Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act,
.23
24
as amended (7 U.S.C. 624). Those limitations are set forth
24
25
in Part 3 of the Appendix to the Tariff Schedules of the
25
26.
United States, which schedules are hereinafter referred to
_26
27.
28.
as TSUS, under items 950.01, 950.02, and 950,03, and relate
_27
29.
to products classified for tariff purposes under items 115.45,
_28
115.50, 115.55, 115.60, and 118.05 of Schedule 1 of the TSUS.
_29
30
30
31.
The Secretary of Agriculture advised me that he had
L31
32.
33.
reason to believe that dried milk, containing not over 5.5
.32
percent butterfat by weight, mixed with other ingredients
.33
34.
(hereinafter referred to as .dried milk mixtures) and thus
_34
35.
classified for tariff purposes under items of the TSUS other
.35
36
than the items referenced above, are being, or are practically
_36
37.
certain to be, imported under such conditions and in such
.37
38.
39.
quantities as to render or tend to render ineffective, or
.38
40.
materially interfere with, the price support program now
.39
41.
conducted by the Department of Agriculture for milk, or to
_40
reduce substantially the amount of products processed in
_41
42
the United States from domestic milk.
_42
43.
.43
44
45.
The Secretary of Agriculture also recommended that there
.44
be an increase in the monetary limitation in headnote 2(b) of
_45
46.
Part 3 of the Appendix to the TSUS, which makes the quota
_46
47.
restrictions provided for in Part 3 inapplicable to articles
_47
48
49
(except cotton and cotton waste) with an aggregate value of
_48
50.
not over $10 in any shipment, if imported as samples for
149
51.
taking orders, for the personal use of the importer, or for
.50
research.
L51
52.
.52
53.
The Secretary of Agriculture further determined and
.53
54
_54
55.
reported to me that a condition existed with respect to dried
.55
56.
milk mixtures which required emergency treatment and, as a
.56
57.
result, Presidential Proclamation No. 4423 of March 26, 1976,
_57
58.
was issued placing import restrictions upon certain dried
.58
59.
milk mixtures without awaiting the recommendations of the
United States International Trade Commission, hereinafter
-59
60
_60
61.
referred to as the Commission, such restrictions to continue
in effect pending the report and recommendations of the
.61
62.
63.
Commission and action thereon by the President.
.62
.63
64
.64
65.
Under the authority of said Section 22, I requested the
Commission to make an investigation with respect to these
.65
66
_66
67.
matters. The Commission has made its investigation and has
.67
68.
reported to me its findings and recommendations.

ment, if imported as samples for taking orders, for the personal

use of the importer, or for research, should be increased to
