106 STAT. 5234 PROCLAMATION 6411—MAR. 12, 1992 When she brought scouting to the girls of America 80 years ago, Juliette Gordon Low could not have envisioned the immense popularity and stature that it enjoys today. In a 1924 letter to members of the Girl Scouts, she wrote: I hope that during the coming year we shall all remember the rules of this Girl Scouting game of ours. They are: To play fair. To play in your place. To play for your side and not for yourself. And as for the score, the best thing in a game is the fun and not the result.... For millions of American women, participation in the Girl Scouts has proved to be excellent preparation for life, and Ms. Low's words are well worth remembering today. The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 343, has designated March 12, 1992, as "Girl Scouts of the United States of America 80th Anniversary Day. " NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH.

Accordingly, after taking into account the factors set forth in sections 501 and 502(c) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that it is appropriate to withdraw the duty-free treatment afforded under the GSP to imports from Malay- sia of vulcanized rubber thread and cord provided for in heading 4007.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS). 2, Section 604 of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder.
