Recital 4

4. I have received certain information, opinions, and recommendations from senior executive branch officials on the status of the circumstances involved in Proclamations 11046, 11047, and 11048 and of negotiations between the United States and Canada regarding the discriminations or impositions described in Proclamations 11046, 11047, and 11048. According to senior executive branch officials, Canada has expressed a commitment to remove the discriminations or unreasonable and unequal impositions at issue in Proclamations 11046, 11047, and 11048. In these officials’ opinion, because of the status of these negotiations, the public interests favor suspending for a period of 3 days the additional duties imposed in Proclamations 11046, 11047, and 11048.
