WHEREAS, by Proclamation No. 3019 of June 8, 1953 (3 CFK, 1949-1953 Supp., p. 189) which was issued pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended (7 U.S.C. 624), the President imposed import quotas on certain dairy products, subject to allocation and license requirements administered by the Secretary of Agriculture, including an annual aggregate quota of 4,167,000 pounds upon imports of blue-mold cheese (except Stilton) and cheese and substitutes for cheese containing, or processed from, blue-mold cheese (hereinafter referred to collectively as "blue-mold cheese"); and WHEREAS, after investigation and report to the President by the United States Tariff Commission under subsection (d) of section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the President issued Proclamation No. 3460 of March 29, 1962 (3 C F E, 1962 Supp., p. 41) which increased the annual quota for blue-mold cheese to an aggregate quantity of 5,016,999 pounds per quota year; and WHEREAS headnote 1 to part 3 of the Appendix to the Tariff Schedules of the United States, as published in the FEDERAL REGISTER at the direction of the President pursuant to section 101(d) of the Tariff Classification Act of 1962 (28 F.R. 8599), states that part 3 covers "the provisions proclaimed by the President pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended * * * imposing quantitative limitations on articles imported into the United States

WHEREAS part 3 of the Appendix to the Tariff Schedules of the United States does not include certain of the provisions of Proclamation No. 3019 under which the Secretary of Agriculture allocates and licenses the quotas which were imposed thereunder; and WHEREAS item 950.07 in part 3 of the Appendix to the Tariff Schedules of the United States specifies the quota quantity for bluemold cheese as originally prescribed by Proclamation No. 3019 (4,167,000 pounds) rather than the quota quantity for such cheese as subsequently increased by Proclamation No. 3460 (5,016,999 pounds); and WHEREAS, pursuant to section 102(3) of the Tariff Classification Act of 1962, the President proclaimed the additional import restrictions set forth in part 3 of the Appendix to the Tariff Schedules of the United States (Proclamation No. 3548 of August 21, 1963, paragraph numbered 3; 28 F.R. 10853) in the erroneous belief that the aforementioned provisions of Proclamation No. 3019 with respect to allocation and licensing had been included, and that the quota specified therein for blue-mold cheese was the effective restriction on such cheese "proclaimed pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act" as provided in section 102(3) of the Tariff Classification Act of 1962; and
