Ⅰ Note from Mr. Philip H. Trezise, Assistant Secretary of State
, to Mr. James C. H. Shen, Ambassador of the Republic of Chi-
na to United States of America

Excellency:
I have the honor to refer to the cotton textile agreement betwe-
en our two Governments effected by exchange of notes on October
12,1967, as amended and extended by exchange of notes on Decemb-
er 22,1970.
As a result of discussions between representatives of our two G-
overnment, I have the honor to propose that the aforementioned
agreement be further amended and extended as provided in the fo-
llowing paragraphs:
A Paragraph 1 is amended by changing the first sentence to read
as follows:“This agreement shall extend through August 31,197
1.”
B The last sentence of Paragraph 7 is amended to read as follows
:
“In the eight-month period extending from January 1,1971 thr-
ough August 31,1971 the level of exports permitted under such
limitation shall be two-thirds of the corresponding level for
the preceding twelve-month period, increased by five percent,
the level for the preceding twelve-month period not to include
any adjustments under paragraph 5 or 15.”
C Subparagraph (d) of paragraph 15 is amended to read as follows
:
“(d) In the event of shortfall in the agreement year ending
December 31,1970, two-thirds of the carry-over that would be
permitted for an agreement year by subparagraphs (a) through (
c) shall be permitted for the eight-month period beginning Ja-
nuray 1,1971.”
If the foregoing proposal is acceptable to your Government, this
note and Your Excellency's note of acceptance on behalf of the
Government of the Republic of China shall constitute an amendme-
nt and extension of the cotton textile agreement effected by ex-
change of notes October 12,1967, as amended and extended by exc-
hange of notes December 22,1970.
Accept, Excellency, the renewed. assurances of my highest consi-
deration.
For the Secretary of State:
