Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1884), I have determined that, in the case of those modifications of existing duties proclaimed in this proclamation which reflect decreases in duties exceeding the limitations specified in Section 201 (b) (1) or 253 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1821 (b) (1) or 1883), such decreases will simplify the computation of the amount of duty imposed with respect to the articles concerned;

11. WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 256 (7) of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1886 (7)) and Section 5 (a) of Executive Order No. 11075 of January 15, 1963 (48 CFR 1.5(a)), the Tariff Commission has taken the requisite steps in determining the ad valorem equivalent of a specific rate of duty (or of a combination of rates including a specific rate) in the case of each modification of an existing duty proclaimed in this proclamation for which such a determination was relevant; and

12. WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 201 (a) (2) of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, I determine that the modification or continuance of existing duties or other import restrictions, and the continuance of existing duty-free or excise treatment, provided for in the schedule in annex II to the trade agreement with Canada identified in the eighth recital of this proclamation, will be required or appropriate to carry out such trade agreement on and after January 1, 1966, and that the Tariff Schedules of the United States should be appropriately modified to reflect the concessions contained in such schedule:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes, including Section 201 (a) (2) of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, do proclaim that:

(1) Subject to the applicable provisions of the trade agreement with Canada identified in the eighth recital of this proclamation and of the General Agreement and other agreements supplementary thereto, the modification or continuance of existing duties or other import restrictions, and the continuance of existing duty-free or excise treatment, provided for in the schedule in annex II to such agreement with Canada shall be effective on and after January 1, 1966, and, as a result thereof,

(2) The Tariff Schedules of the United States shall be modified, effective on and after January 1, 1966, as provided for in Appendix B to this proclamation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

DONE at the City of Washington this 27th day of December in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-five, and of [SEAL] the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninetieth.

By the President:

DEAN RUSK,

Secretary of State.

LYNDON B. JOHNSON
