(pt. 2) A380), the President proclaimed such modifications of existing duties and the other import restrictions of the United States of America and such continuance of existing customs or excise treatment of articles imported into the United States of America as were then found to be required or appropriate to carry out the designated trade agreement for accession on and after January 1, 1950; 3. WHEREAS that proclamation has been supplemented by subsequent proclamations including Proclamation No. 3040 of December 24, 1953 (68 Stat. (pt. 2) C26); 4. WHEREAS the seventh recital of Proclamation No. 3040 set forth that serious problems which had developed in the cattle and beef situation in the United States since the negotiation of the trade agreement for accession specified in the first recital of this proclamation rendered inappropriate the application to the products 64stat.(Pt.3)B325. specified in items 705 and 706 in Part I of Schedule X X in Annex A of that trade agreement of rates of duty lower than the rates then applicable to such products; 68 Stat.

WHEREAS the proviso in Part I of Proclamation No. 3040 states that unless and until the President proclaims that the circumstances set forth in the seventh recital of that proclamation no longer exist the provisions of items 705 and 706 in that Part I shall be applied as though they were stated in the manner set forth in the eighth recital of that proclamation instead of as set forth in Part I of the Schedule X X; 6. WHEREAS I determine that the application of the provisions of items 705 and 706 in Part I of Schedule X X as set forth therein is required or appropriate to carry out the designated trade agreement for accession; and 7.
