R. 4294, 83d Cong., 1st sess.] A BILL To extend the authority of the President to enter into trade agreements under section 350 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and for other purposes Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That this Act may be cited as the "Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1953". SEC. 2. The period during which the President is authorized to enter into foreign-trade agreements under section 350 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended and extended (19 U. S.

The last sentence of such section 3 (a) is hereby amended to read as follows: "No such foreign-trade agreement shall be entered into with respect to any article imported into the United States until the Commission has made its report with respect to such article to the President."
