3. CULOTTES.

IT IS IMPORTANT, BUT WILL BE DIFFICULT, TO SEPARATE CLASSIFICATION

DIFFERENCES FROM TRIGGER POINT CONSIDERATIONS. I HAVE CLASSIFIED

CULOTTES IN ACCORDANCE WITH TWO U.S. ADVICES (COPIES ALREADY

DESPATCHED TO YOU BY AIRMAIL): ONE, THAT CAT. 54 APPLIES TO ADULTS '

AND CHILDRENS'S ITEMS CADVICE RECEIVED IN 1952) SENICOLON AND TWO,

THAT CULOTTES WITH DIVIDED SKIRTS ARE CLASSIFIED IN CAT. 63(20

CADVICE RECEIVED IN 1964). NOW THAT A MORE RECENT CUSTOMS ADVICE

IS TO HAND CYOUR HEMO NO 21) I AGREE HENCEFORTH TO CLASSIFY

CHILDRENS'S CULOTTES IN CAT. 54. BUT OUR PAST CLASSIFICATION

PRACTICE IS ABOVE REPROACH AND AS A RESULT A LEGITIMATE TRADE HAS

BEON BUILT UP. I HAVE ASCERTAINED THAT WITHIN THE CULOTTE FIGURES PRON

FOR LICENSED SHIPMENTS, 267,820 LB. ARE FOR ADULTS AND 117,344 LB.

ARE FOR CHILDREN. OF THE APPLICATIONS PENDING, 38,653 ARE FOR

ADULTS AND 27,174 ARE FOR CHILDREN. THE AMERICANS CALLED FOR

CONSULTATIONS ON UNDERLINE NEXT WORD 385,251 LO. ASSURING FEAR OF

DAMAGE FROM CONCENTRATION WAS, USING U.S. CLASSIFICATION, IN

ADULTS' CULOTTES, THEN AUTHOPISED SHIPMENTS PLUS APPLICATIONS
