“ Pursuant to the authority vested in the President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, and acting through duly empowered representatives, the United States entered into negotiations with representatives of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam ("Vietnam") to conclude an agreement on trade relations between the United States and Vietnam. ”

“ Section 405 (c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2435 (c) ) provides that a bilateral commercial agreement providing nondiscriminatory treatment to the products of a country denied such treatment prior to the date of enactment of the Trade Act, and a proclamation implementing such agreement, shall take effect only if a joint resolution described in section 151 (b) (3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2191 (b) (3) ) that approves of the Agreement is enacted into law. ”
