The Interdepartmental Committee on Trade Agreements has issued on this day a notice supplementing the notice published May 28, 1960 (25 F. R. 4764), as corrected (25 F. R. 5197), of intention to conduct trade agreement negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade with foreign governments which are contracting parties to that agreement and with certain other Governments.

Annexed to the supplementary notice of the Interdepartmental Committee on Trade Agreements is a list of additional articles imported into the United States to be considered for possible concessions in the negotiations; this list supplements the list annexed to the notice by that committee published May 28, 1960 (25 F. R. 4764-79), as corrected (25 F. R. 5197).

Pursuant to paragraph 5 of Executive Order 10082 of October 5, 1949, as amended (3 CFR, 1949-1953 Comp. pp. 281, 355), the Committee for Reciprocity Information hereby gives notice that all applications for oral presentation of views in regard to any aspect of the proposals announced in this supplementary notice shall be submitted to the Committee for Reciprocity Information not later than December 27, 1960. The application must indicate the import article or articles on which the applicant desires to be heard and an estimate of the time required for oral presentation. All persons who make application to be heard shall also submit to the Committee their views in writing in regard to the foregoing proposals not later than

December 27, 1960. Written statements of persons not desiring to be heard shall be submitted not later than January 5, 1961. Such communications shall be addressed to "Committee for Reciprocity Information, Tariff Commission Building, Washington 25, D. C." Fifteen copies of written statements, either typed, printed, or duplicated, shall be submitted, of which one copy shall be sworn to.

Written statements submitted to the Committee, except information and business data proffered in confidence, shall be open to inspection by interested persons. Information and business data proffered in confidence shall be submitted on separate pages clearly marked "For Official Use Only of the Committee for Reciprocity Information".

Public hearings will be held before the Committee for Reciprocity Information at which oral statements will be heard, beginning at 2:00 P.M. on January 5, 1961, in the Hearing Room in the Tariff Commission Building, Eighth and E Streets, N. W., Washington, D. C. Witnesses who make application to be heard will be advised regarding the time and place of their individual appearances. Appearances at hearings before the Committee may be made only by or on behalf of those persons who have filed written statements and who have within the time prescribed made written application for oral presentation of views. Statements made at the public hearings shall be under oath.

Persons or groups interested in import articles may present to the Committee their views concerning possible tariff concessions by the United States on any article, whether or not included in the list annexed to the supplementary notice, but not including any article provided for in the list published May 28, 1960, as corrected. No tariff reduction or specific continuance of customs or excise treatment will be considered on any article which is not included in the list annexed to the aforesaid public notice by the Interdepartmental Committee on Trade Agreements, the list annexed to the supplementary notice on this date, or in a further supplementary list (or in a prior list in the case of a continued negotiation of compensatory adjustments).
