September 21, 1967

Sir:

I refer to recent discussions in Washington relating to the Bilateral Agreement on Trade in Cotton Textiles between the United States of America and the Philippines effected by an exchange of notes at Washington on February 24, 1964.

Because of the special, circumstances mentioned in these discussions, the Government of the United States of America proposes that during calendar year 1967:

1. To offset shipments in excess of the limits applicable for exports in the non-traditional categories during calendar year 1966, exports of cotton textiles in non-traditional categories from the Philippines to the United States shall be limited to a total of 16,989,666 square yards, 953,522 yards below the level provided for in paragraphs 3 and 7 of the Agreement of February 24, 1964. Insofar as possible, this reduction shall be made in exports in categories 9, 22, 26 and 62.

2. Within the 1967 limit for non-traditional categories provided for in paragraph 1 above, the exports of cotton textiles from the Philippines to the United States shall not exceed the following amounts in the following categories:

Category
   
9
1,000,000 square yards  
22
 1,000,000 square yards  
  1,000,000 square yards (of which not more than 300,000
    square yards may be in duck)
61
 1,550,000 dozen  
62
 100,000 dozen  

 

 

 

 

 

If the foregoing proposal is acceptable to the Government of the Republic of the Philippines, my Government will consider this note and your affirmative reply as constituting an agreement between our two Governments further amending the cotton textile agreement of February 24, 1964, as amended.

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my high consideration.

For the Secretary of State:
