Determination on Turkmenistan

Presidential Determination No. 2003-31 of August 8,
2003

Determination on Turkmenistan

Memorandum for the Secretary of State

Pursuant to Presidential Determination 98-7 of December
5, 1997, Turkmenistan was found to be not in violation
of paragraph (1), (2), or (3) of subsection 402(a) of
the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2432(a) and 2439(a))
(the ``Act'') or paragraph (1), (2), or (3) of
subsection 409(a) of the Act. That determination with
respect to Turkmenistan is no longer in effect.

Consistent with section 402(c)(2)(A) of the Act, I
determine that a waiver by Executive Order of the
application of subsections (a) and (b) of section 402
of the Act with respect to Turkmenistan will
substantially promote the objectives of section 402.

On my behalf, please transmit this determination to the
Speaker of the House of Representatives and to the
President of the Senate.

You are authorized and directed to publish this
determination in the Federal Register.

(Presidential Sig.)B

THE WHITE HOUSE,

Washington, August 8, 2003.
