106 STAT. 5261 Proclamation 6427 of May 1, 1992 Law and Order in the City and County of Los Angeles, and Other Districts of California By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation WHEREAS, I have been informed by the Governor of California that conditions of domestic violence and disorder exist in and about the City and County of Los Angeles, and other districts of California, endangering life and property and obstructing execution of the laws, and that the available law enforcement resources, including the National Guard, are unable to suppress such acts of violence and to restore law and order;
WHEREAS, such domestic violence and disorder are also obstructing the execution of the laws of the United States, in the affected area; and WHEREAS, the Governor of California has requested Federal assistance in suppressing the violence and restoring law and order in the affected area. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including Chapter 15 of Title 10 of the United States Code, do command all persons engaged in such acts of violence and disorder to cease and desist therefrom and to disperse and retire peaceably forthwith.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth. GEORGE BUSH 6428 May 1, 1992 To Implement Duty Reductions for Certain Products of beneficiary Countries Under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Expansion Act of 1990 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6428 of May 1, 1992 To Implement Duty Reductions for Certain Products of beneficiary Countries Under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Expansion Act of 1990 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1.
Section 213(h)(1) of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) (19 U.S.C. 2703(h)(1)), as added by section 212 of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Expansion Act of 1990 (Expansion Act) (Public Law 101–382), directs the President to proclaim reductions in the rates of duty on handbags, luggage, flat goods, work gloves, and leather wearing apparel that are
(1)the product of any beneficiary country, and
(2)were not designated on August 5, 1983, as eligible articles for purposes of the Generalized System of Preferences
(GSP)106 STAT. 5262under title V of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2461, et *seq*.]. Such goods were excluded from the duty-free treatment afforded under the CBERA by the provisions of section 213(b) of that Act. 2. Section 213(h)(2) of the CBERA provides that the duty reduction required for any such article shall
(1)result in a rate that is equal to 80 percent of the rate of duty that applied to the article on December 31, 1991, except that, subject to certain limitations, the reduction may not exceed 2.5 percent ad valorem; and
(2)be implemented in 5 equal annual stages with the first one-fifth of the aggregate reduction in the rate of duty being applied to entries, or withdrawals from warehouse for consumption, of the article on or after January 1, 1992. 3. Pursuant to section 213(h) of the CBERA, I have decided that certain existing duties set forth in Rates of Duty 1-General subcolumn of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS)for specified handbags, luggage, flat goods, work gloves, and leather wearing apparel should be reduced as set forth in Annex I to this proclamation. In accordance with section 213(b) of the CBERA. as amended by section 212(b) of the Expansion Act, 1 have decided that it is appropriate to make conforming changes in general note 3(c)(v) to the HTS and to modify the nomenclature of certain HTS subheadings, in order to reflect the tariff treatment to be accorded to such goods. 4. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), requires the President, from time to time, as appropriate, to embody in the HTS the substance of the provisions of that Act, of other Acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any import restriction. 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 section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, section 213 of the CBERA, and section 212 of the Expansion Act, do proclaim that:
(1)In order to provide reductions in the Rates of Duty 1-General subcolumn duty rate applicable to certain goods which are the products of designated beneficiary countries under the CBERA, and to implement the provisions of the CBERA, as amended, the HTS is modified as provided in Annex I to this proclamation.
(2)In order to continue the schedule of duty reductions for goods originating in the territory of Canada modified by Annex I to this proclamation, pursuant to Annex 401.2 to the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement (the Canada FTA), the HTS is further modified as set forth in Annex II to this proclamation.
(3)In order to continue the schedule of duty reductions for products of Israel modified by Annex I to this proclamation, pursuant to Annex 1 to the Agreement on the Establishment of a Free Trade Area between the Government of the United States and the Government of Israel (the Israel FTA), the HTS is further modified as set forth in Annex III to this proclamation.
(4)Any provisions of previous proclamations and Executive orders inconsistent with the provisions of this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.
(a)Except as provided in this paragraph, the modifications made by Annex I to this proclamation shall be effective with respect to arti-106 STAT. 5263cles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the 15th day after the date of publication of this proclamation in the Federal Register. Entries of products of countries designated as beneficiary countries for purposes of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act made after January 1, 1992, and not liquidated as of the 15th day after the date of publication of this proclamation in this Federal Register, shall, if such goods would have qualified for duty reductions under the provisions of Annex I to this proclamation, be liquidated as if entered on such 15th day.
(b)The modifications made by Annexes 11 and III to this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the dates set forth in such annexes. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth.

During this year’s observance of Law Day, we celebrate that heritage with special pride, as peoples in new democracies around the world look to our Nation’s founding documents—and the laws and institutions duly derived from them—as the surest guarantees of life, liberty, and property rights the world has ever known. The American Experience demonstrates clearly how the rule of law ensures respect for the rights of individuals while establishing a solid foundation for responsible self-government. Our Constitution provides for the separation of powers within the Federal Government, including our independent judiciary, and reserves to the States, or to the people, 106 STAT. 5268 those rights and powers that are not expressly delegated to the United States. The authority of the Federal Government comes entirely from the freely given consent of the people and is exercised only in accordance with public laws and due process. Indeed, the rule of law has endured in the United States because of the active and voluntary participation of our citizens at all levels of government, particularly the local level, and because of the deep respect that Americans have had historically for our legal system. In recent days, the rule of law has been challenged in the most profound way. A jury verdict has been viewed by a large number of Americans as indefensible. There is, however, a difference between frustration with the law and direct assaults upon it. Those frustrated and angered by this outcome must understand: in order to remain a civilized society, we must pursue peaceful, orderly means of resolving such concerns. The wanton destruction of human life and property is not a legitimate expression of outrage with injustice; it is itself injustice. No rationalization, no matter how heartfelt, can make it otherwise. The rule of law, the belief in freedom under the law, is a precious legacy—and our only means of preserving fairness and equality and justice. On this occasion, we rededicate ourselves with strengthened resolve to ensuring that our legal system provides justice and safety for all citizens. Equal justice under law is the unalienable right of every American. With this right comes to each of us a corresponding responsibility to do our part to make the American system of justice work effectively and fairly, so that the ideals of our Nation’s Founders will continue to be achieved and the United States will remain a shining example of freedom and justice throughout the world. 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 May 1, 1992, as Law Day, U.S.A. I urge all Americans to observe this day by reflecting on the timeless ideals enshrined in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution and on the importance of the rule of law in protecting the rights of each individual. I ask that members of the legal profession, civic associations, and the media, as well as educators, librarians, and public officials, promote the observance of this day through appropriate programs and activities. I also call on 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-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth. GEORGE BUSH 6430 May 8, 1992 Mother’s Day, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
