Dear Mr. Wu:
I refer to discussions held in May, July, August and September
1979 between representatives of the Coordination Council for No-
rth American Affairs (CCNAA) and the American Institute in Taiw-
an (AIT) concerning exports to the United States of America of
cotton, wool, and man-made fiber textiles and textile products
from Taiwan. As agreed during these discussions, I propose the
following regarding implementation of the Agreement Relating to
Trade in Cotton, Wool and Man-Made Fiber Textiles and Textile p-
roducts dated June 8,1978:
1 In Annex C, Designated Consultation Levels (in Square Yards E-
quivalent) for the following Categories shall be:
Category Description Level
359 Other apparel 5,190,000
363 Terry & other pile t wels 2,000,000
659 Other apparel 71,000,000
659 sub. Knit headwear 21,255,000
659 sub. Swimwear 13,260,000
(of which men's and boys' 1,755,000)
(of which women's girls' and
infants' 12,480,000)
2 The 1979 Consultation Level for sub-Category 669 (fishnets) is
raised to 123,000 pounds from which the agreed overshipment c-
harges of 23,391 pounds (19,391 pounds from 1977 and 4,000 po-
unds from 1978) will be deducted leaving an effective level of
99,609 pounds.
3 During 1979, the maximum permissible level of exports for Cat-
egory 683 will be 1,900,000 dozen, including (a) swing of 7 p-
ercent, (b) shift of 10 percent from Category 639, and (c) sp-
ecial shift which could amount to 280,000 to 320,000 dozen fr-
om Category 639 at an exchange ration in dozens of 3:2.
4 During 1979, the maximum permissible level of exports for Cat-
egory 639 will be the adjusted level of 4,899,532 dozen (base
level of 5,033,179 minus the agreed overshipment charge of 133
,656 dozen) plus 3 percent swing computed on that level.
If CCNAA concurs with the foregoing, then this letter and your
letter of confirmation will constitute an understanding betwe-
en us regarding implementation of the aforementioned Agreement
. Sincerely,
(Signed)
