U.S. Code as of: 01/03/05
Section 1854. Agreements limiting imports

      The President may, whenever he determines such action
    appropriate, negotiate with representatives of foreign governments
    in an effort to obtain agreements limiting the export from such
    countries and the importation into the United States of any
    agricultural commodity or product manufactured therefrom or
    textiles or textile products, and the President is authorized to
    issue regulations governing the entry or withdrawal from warehouse
    of any such commodity, product, textiles, or textile products to
    carry out any such agreement. In addition, if a multilateral
    agreement, including but not limited to the Agreement on Textiles
    and Clothing referred to in section 3511(d)(4) of title 19, has
    been or is concluded under the authority of this section among
    countries accounting for a significant part of world trade in the
    articles with respect to which the agreement was concluded, the
    President may also issue, in order to carry out such agreement,
    regulations governing the entry or withdrawal from warehouse of the
    same articles which are the products of countries not parties to
    the agreement, or countries to which the United States does not
    apply the agreement. Nothing herein shall affect the authority
    provided under section 624 of this title.
