104 STAT. 5252 Proclamation 6123 of April 26, 1990 To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the Generalized System of Preferences and for Other Purposes By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Pursuant to Title V of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (the 1974 Act) (19 U.S.C. 2461 *et seq*.), the President may designate specified articles provided for in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

(HTS)as eligible for preferential tariff treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences

(GSP)when imported from designated beneficiary developing countries. 2. Pursuant to section 504(c) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2464(c)), beneficiary developing countries, except those designated as least-developed beneficiary developing countries pursuant to section 504(c)(6) of the 1974 Act, are subject to limitations on the preferential treatment afforded under the GSP. Pursuant to section 504(c)(5) of the 1974 Act, a country that is no longer treated as a beneficiary developing country with respect to an eligible article may be redesignated as a beneficiary developing country with respect to such article if imports of such article from such country did not exceed the limitations in section 504(c)(1) (after application of section 504(c)(2)) during the preceding calendar year. Further, pursuant to section 504(d)(1) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2464(d)(1)), the limitations provided in section 504(c)(1)(B) shall not apply with respect to an eligible article if a like or directly competitive article was not produced in the United States on January 3, 1985. 3. Sections 502(b)(7) and 502(c)(7) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462(b)(7) and 2462(c)(7)) provide that a country that has not taken or is not taking steps to afford internationally recognized worker rights, as defined in section 502(a)(4) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462(a)(4)), is ineligible for designation as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the GSP. Pursuant to section 504 of the 1974 Act, the President may withdraw, suspend, or limit the application of duty-free treatment under the GSP with respect to any article or with respect to any country upon consideration of the factors set forth in sections 501 and 502(c) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 2462(c)). 4. Pursuant to sections 501, 503(a), and 504(a) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2461, 2463(a), and 2464(a)), in order to subdivide and amend the nomenclature of existing provisions for the purposes of the GSP, I have determined, after taking into account information and advice received under section 503(a), that the HTS should be modified to adjust the original designation of eligible articles. In addition, pursuant to Title V of the 1974 Act, I have determined that it is appropriate to designate specified articles provided for in the HTS as eligible for preferential tariff treatment under the GSP when imported from designated beneficiary developing countries, and that such treatment for other articles should be terminated. I have also determined, pursuant to sections 504(a) and (c)(1) of the 1974 Act, that certain beneficiary developing countries should no longer receive preferential tariff treatment under the GSP with respect to certain eligible articles. Further, I have determined, pursuant to section 504(c)(5) of the 1974 Act, that certain countries should 104 STAT. 5253be redesignated as beneficiary developing countries with respect to specified previously designated eligible articles. These countries have been previously excluded from benefits of the GSP with respect to such eligible articles pursuant to section 504(c)(1) of the 1974 Act. Last, I have determined that section 504(c)(1)(B) of the 1974 Act should not apply with respect to certain eligible articles because no like or directly competitive article was produced in the United States on January 3, 1985. 5. Pursuant to sections 502(b)(7), 502(c)(7), and 504 of the 1974 Act, I have determined that it is appropriate to provide for the suspension of preferential treatment under the GSP for articles that are currently eligible for such treatment and that are imported from Liberia. Such suspension is the result of my determination that Liberia has not taken and is not taking steps to afford internationally recognized worker rights, as defined in section 502(a)(4) of the 1974 Act. 6. Section 504(c)(6) of the 1974 Act provides that section 504(c) of the 1974 Act shall not apply to any beneficiary developing country that the President determines, based on the considerations described in sections 501 and 502(c) of the 1974 Act, to be a least-developed beneficiary developing country. Accordingly, after taking into account the considerations in sections 501 and 502(c) of the 1974 Act, I have determined to designate the beneficiary developing countries of Kiribati, Mauritania, Mozambique, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu as least-developed beneficiary developing countries. 7. Section 503(c)(1) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(1)) provides that the President may not designate certain specified categories of import-sensitive articles as eligible articles under the GSP. Section 503(c)(1)(A) of the 1974 Act provides that textile and apparel articles that are subject to textile agreements are import-sensitive. Pursuant to section 504(a) of the 1974 Act, I am acting to modify the HTS to remove from eligibility under the GSP those articles that have become subject to textile agreements and to make certain conforming changes in the HTS. 8. Section 1204(b)(1)(C) of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (the 1988 Act) (19 U.S.C. 3004(b)(1)(C)) authorizes the President to proclaim such modifications to the HTS as are necessary or appropriate to implement such technical rectifications to the HTS as the President considers necessary. Pursuant to section 1204(b)(1)(C) of the 1988 Act, I have determined that certain technical rectifications to the HTS are necessary. 9. Section 242 of the Compact of Free Association (the Compact), entered into by the Government of the United States and the Governments of the Marshall Islands and of the Federated States of Micronesia (the freely associated states), as given effect by section 401(a) of the Compact of Free Association Act of 1985 (the Association Act) (Public Law 99–239; 99 Stat. 1770, 1838), provides that, upon implementation of the Compact, the President shall proclaim duty-free treatment for most products of the freely associated states, subject to the limitations provided in sections 503(b) and 504(c) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(b) and 2464(c)). Pursuant to section 401 of the Association Act, I proclaimed duty-free treatment for such products in Proclamation No. 6030 of September 28, 1989. In order to conform the tariff treatment of goods from the freely associated states more closely with the limita-104 STAT. 5254tions imposed under sections 503(b) and 504(c) of the 1974 Act and to provide more equitable tariff treatment for the freely associated states as afforded beneficiary developing countries under the GSP, I have determined that changes should be made in general note 3(c)(viii) to the HTS. 10. Section 604 of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including but not limited to Title V and section 604 of the 1974 Act, section 1204(b) of the 1906 Act, and section 401 of the Association Act, do proclaim that:

Those who participate in physical activities or sports programs also know the exhilaration and sense of satisfaction that come from regular exercise. With increasing awareness of these benefits, the number of physically active men and women has continued to grow over the last decade. Today, nearly one of every two American adults participates regularly in some form of exercise and sports. There is great support for daily exercise for youngsters, regardless of physical capabilities. Physically fit persons generally live longer, perform better, and participate more fully in life. Moreover, habits formed at an early age tend to stay with a person for life. Many communities are demonstrating their support for physical fitness as a family activity by sponsoring athletic programs that involve the entire family. Indeed, the realization that fitness improves the quality of life has gained increasing popularity with senior citizens, and we are seeing a proliferation of organized exercise programs for our older citizens. Despite the progress that has been made, too many Americans—of all ages—do not exercise regularly. Of particular concern is the number of young Americans who are not physically fit. Our challenge is to instill youngsters with a sense of the value of physical fitness and a desire to 104 STAT. 5268get in shape and remain fit. It is essential that fitness and sports programs be made increasingly available in schools, at the workplace, and during leisure time so that our citizens will be able to experience the joys and benefits they offer. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the month of May 1990 as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. I urge all Federal, State, and local government agencies and the people of the United States to observe the month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourteenth. GEORGE BUSH **Editorial note**: For the President’s remarks of May 1, 1990, on signing Proclamation 6124, see the *Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents* (vol. 26, p. 685). 6125 May 1, 1990 Law Day, U.S.A., 1990 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6125 of May 1, 1990 Law Day, U.S.A., 1990 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation For more than 30 years, our Nation has proudly observed May 1 as Law Day, U.S.A. On this day we pause to give thanks for America’s guarantee of liberty, opportunity, and justice for all. We also rededicate ourselves to upholding that great promise. In so doing, we honor all those who have labored—and often sacrificed—to win and protect our freedom and to preserve individual rights and the rule of law throughout the United States. Our Nation’s Founding Fathers knew that the rule of law and, indeed, the strength of our Nation itself are advanced through the protection of individual rights. The most fundamental of these rights are eloquently affirmed in the Declaration of Independence; “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” In 1769, members of the first Congress demonstrated their determination to defend these rights when they passed and submitted to the States for ratification the first ten amendments to the Constitution. These amendments are known as the Bill of Rights. No more noble, concise, and just statement of the proper relationship of citizens to their government has ever before or since been enacted into law. This is a time of great change in our Nation and our world. As we begin the new decade, fledgling democracies in other countries mirror our ideals of liberty and justice for all. The blessings of liberty have 104 STAT. 5269never been more apparent to the world, and, perhaps, never more appreciated by each and every one of us. This year’s Law Day theme, “Generations of Justice,” underscores the principles and ideals for which so many Americans fought and died. It illuminates the tenacious commitment of our people to preserve a free, open, and just society in a rapidly changing and complex world. The “Generations of Justice” theme also underscores our obligation to guarantee justice and equal protection under the law for all Americans, regardless of age, sex, race, or creed. As we reflect on the theme of “Generations of Justice,” we are especially mindful of our obligation to provide legal protection to the most vulnerable among us: Americans at both ends of the spectrum of human life. The preborn child at risk of becoming addicted to drugs or infected with HIV as a result of his mother’s substance abuse; the severely disabled or premature infant who requires specialized treatment; the senior citizen threatened by exploitation or experiencing difficulties in obtaining housing and medical care—each of these Americans is an heir to the rights enumerated in our Nation’s founding documents. Each of these Americans needs and deserves protection under law, as well as in practice. As the guardians of our Nation’s most cherished liberties, the members of the legal profession have a special obligation to reach out to those in need. Whether mentoring a young man or woman searching for direction, befriending a lonely senior citizen, or caring for the homeless and the hungry, members of the legal profession have always been there to help. If we are to preserve this Nation’s freedom, and the peace and security we so enjoy, we must faithfully uphold the principles enshrined in our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Thus, on this Law Day, let us renew our determination to defend the God-given rights of all Americans. Let us strive to ensure that “Generations of Justice” always remains a shining hallmark of our Nation’s judicial system. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, in accordance with Public Law 87–20 of April 7, 1961, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, May 1, 1990, as Law Day, U.S.A. I urge all Americans to observe this day by reflecting upon the timeless ideals enshrined in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution and the importance of the rule of law in protecting the rights of every individual. I call upon the legal profession, schools, libraries, government agencies, the media, clergy, and businesses, as well as civic and voluntary service organizations, to promote the observance of this day through appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities, I also call upon all public officials to display the flag of the United States on all government buildings on this day. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourteenth.
