N egotiation o p T rade A greement W it h th e U nited K ingdom C ontemplated N ovember 18, 1937.
Pursuant to section 4 of an act of Congress approved June 12, 1934, entitled An Act to Amend the Tariff Act of 1930, as extended by Public Resolution 10, approved March 1, 1937, and Executive Order No. 6750 of June 27, 1934, the Secretary of State announced today that this Government contem plates the negotiation of a trade agreement with the United Kingdom, and invited interested persons to submit sugges tions as to the products that should be considered.
This preliminary announcement, which is made with a view to obtaining suggestions from interested persons m the early stages of the discussions, should not be confused with the formal notice of intention to negotiate regularly given.
The formal notice will be issued a t a later date, after receipt of the proposals of the Government of the United Kingdom, a t which time there will also be made public a list of products on which the United States will consider granting concessions to the United Kingdom.
The object of this preliminary announcement is to provide notification a t the earliest possible date that negotiations are contemplated, in order that interested parties may have an opportunity to suggest the import or export products which, in their opinion, should be included in the negotiations. Such suggestions, particularly those in regard to export products, are most useful to the trade-agreements organization if avail able at an early stage. Full information should be submitted as soon as possible. Exact technical descriptions of the products in question should be given, including, so far as possible, their nomenclature in the tariff laws of the import ing country. These suggestions may be submitted in any form, and need not be under oath. They should be addressed to the Chairman of the Committee for Reciprocity Informa tion, 7th and F Streets, NW, Washington, D. C., and should reach the Committee not later than December 16, 1937.
Suggestions received by the Committee for Reciprocity In formation will be distributed promptly to all agencies of the trade-agreements organization for use in the preparation of lists of commodities th at may be involved in the negotia tions. The list of commodities upon which the United States will consider the granting of concessions to the United Kingdom will be published along with the formal notice of intention to negotiate. The formal notice, as heretofore, will indicate dates for the submission of briefs and appli cations for oral hearings, and the dates on which the custo mary open hearings will be held. The listing of products will indicate to American producers and importers whether or not particular tariff rates in which they are interested are under consideration. They will thus be saved the work of preparing briefs on products of interest to them but which are not expected to be involved in the negotiations.

A detailed compilation showing the principal products involved in the 1929 and 1936 trade between the United Kingdom and the United States, prepared in the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Department of Commerce, may be obtained from that Bureau or from any of the District Offices of the Department of Commerce, as well as from the Committee for Reciprocity Information or the Department of State.
