Proclamation 7326--To Extend Nondiscriminatory Treatment (Normal Trade
Relations Treatment) to the Products of Albania and Kyrgyzstan
June 29, 2000
By the President of the United States
of America
A Proclamation
1. Albania has made progress, since its emergence from communism,
toward democratic rule and the creation of a market economy. Further, I
have found Albania to be in full compliance with the freedom of
emigration requirements under title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 (the
``Trade Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2431, et seq.). In 1998, Albania concluded a
bilateral investment treaty with the United States. Albania is in the
process of acceding to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The extension
of unconditional normal trade relations treatment to the products of
Albania will permit the United States to avail itself of all rights
under the WTO with respect to Albania when that country becomes a member
of the WTO.
2. Pursuant to section 301(b) of Public Law 106-200, 114 Stat. 289,
and having due regard for the findings of the Congress in section 301(a)
of that law, I hereby determine that title IV of the Trade Act should no
longer apply to Albania.
3. Since 1991, Kyrgyzstan has made great progress toward democratic
rule and toward creating a free-market economic system. Further, I have
found Kyrgyzstan to be in full compliance with the freedom of emigration
requirements under title IV of the Trade Act. In 1994, Kyrgyzstan
concluded a bilateral investment treaty with the United States, and in
1999 Kyrgyzstan became a member of the WTO. The extension of
unconditional normal trade relations treatment to the products of
Kyrgyzstan will permit the United States to avail itself of all rights
under the WTO with respect to Kyrgyzstan.
4. Pursuant to section 302(b) of Public Law 106-200, 114 Stat. 289-
90, and having due regard for the findings of the Congress in section
302(a) of that law, I hereby determine that title IV of the Trade Act
should no longer apply to Kyrgyzstan.
Now, Therefore, I William J. Clinton, 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 sections
301(b)(1)(B) and 302(b)(1)(B) of Public Law 106-200, do hereby proclaim
that:
(1) Nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment)
shall be extended to the products of Albania;
(2) The extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to the products of
Albania shall be effective as of the date of signature of this
proclamation;
(3) Nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment)
shall be extended to the products of Kyrgyzstan;
(4) The extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to the products of
Kyrgyzstan shall be effective as of the date of signature of this
proclamation.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth
day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-
fourth.
William J. Clinton
[Filed with the Office of the Federal Register, 11:15 a.m., July 3,
2000]
Note: This proclamation was released by the Office of the Press
Secretary on June 30, and it was published in the Federal Register on

Exchange With Reporters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
June 30, 2000
President's Electronic Signature
[The transcript began with a reporter's paraphrased question concerning
bill signings.]
The President. ----we had a question if I could even fax a signature
back on bills and Executive orders. The electronic signature, in effect,
defines what the obligations--the satisfaction of the obligations of
commerce contracts. Congress clearly has the authority to define that.
But there's an open question as to whether we could do it for bills and
fax. That's why I signed the bill before I did this, because that might
require a constitutional amendment. And at least it would require some
sort of judicial opinion or something before we could decide to do it.
But the volume of bills signed every year is so small, that's really
not that much of a problem. The only real problem would be if the
President for some reason had to go abroad at a time when the time was
running out on a bill. So that's really the only issue here.
Thank you.
Note: The exchange began at approximately 11:15 a.m. at Independence
Hall. S. 761, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce
Act, approved June 30, was assigned Public Law No. 106-229. A tape was
not available for verification of the content of this exchange. This
item was not received in time for publication in the appropriate issue.
