WHEREAS pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as added by section 31 o fthe act of August 24, 1935, 49 Stat. 773, reenacted by sec tion 1 of the act of June 3,1937, 50 Stat.

7 U. S. C. 624, I caused the United States Tariff Commission to make an in vestigation to determine whether al monds, filberts, walnuts, Brazil nuts, or cashew nuts are being, or are practically certain to be, imported into the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, certain programs or operations under taken by the Department of Agriculture with respect to almonds, pecans, filberts, or walnuts, or to redce substantially the amount of any product processed in the United States from almonds, pecans, fil berts, or walnuts with respect to which any such program or operation is being undertaken; and WHEREAS the Commission has made such investigation in accordance with the provisions of the said section 22 and has reported to me its findings and rec ommendations made in connection therewith; and WHEREAS, on the basis of such in vestigation and report o f the Commis sion, I find that shelled almonds and blanched, roasted, or otherwise prepared or preserved almonds not including almond paste are practically certain to be imported into the United States dur ing the period from October 1, 1951, to September 30, 1952, both dates inclusive, under such conditions and in such quan tities as to render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, a program undertaken by the Depart ment of Agriculture with respect to almonds pursuant to the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended; and
WHEREAS I find and declare that the imposition of a fee as hereinafter speci fied is shown by such investigation of the Commission to be necessary in order that the entry of imported shelled almonds and of blanched, roasted, or otherwise prepared or preserved almonds not in cluding almond paste will not render or tend to render ineffective or mate rially interfere with the said program undertaken by the Department of Agri culture with respect to almonds:
