(4) If the President recommends under paragraph (1) the exten- sion of the waiver authority granted by subsection (c)(1) of this section, and at the end of the 60-day period referred to in paragraph (3) the House of Representatives and the Senate have not adopted a concurrent resolution approving the extension of such authority and subparagraph (A) of paragraph (3) does not apply, such authority shall continue in effect until the end of the 12-month period follow- ing the end of the 18-month period referred to in subsection (c)(1) of this section with respect to any country (except for any country with respect to which such authority was not extended by reason of the application of subparagraph (B) or (C) of paragraph (2) or subparagraph (B) or (C) of paragraph (3)), unless before the end of the 45-day period following such 60-day period either the House of Representatives or the Senate adopts, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Members present and voting in that House and un- der the procedures set forth in section 2193 of this title, a resolu- tion disapproving the extension of such authority generally or with respect to such country specifically. Such authority shall cease to be effective with respect to all countries on the date of the adoption by either House before the end of such 45-day period of a resolution disapproving the extension of such authority, and shall cease to be effective with respect to any country on the date of the adoption by either House before the end of such 45-day period of a resolution disapproving the extension of such authority with respect to such country.

(5) If the waiver authority granted by subsection (c) of this sec- tion has been extended under paragraph (3) or (4) for any country for the 12-month period referred to in such paragraphs, and the President determines that the further extension of such authority will substantially promote the objectives of this section, he may rec- ommend further extensions of such authority for successive 12- month periods. Any such recommendations shall-

(B) be made in a document transmitted to the House of Rep- resentatives and the Senate setting forth his reasons for recom- mending the extension of such authority; and

(C) include, for each country with respect to which a waiver granted under subsection (c) of this section is in effect, a de- termination that continuation of the waiver applicable to that country will substantially promote the objectives of this section, and a statement setting forth his reasons for such determina- tion.

If the President recommends the further extension of such authori- ty, such authority shall continue in effect until the end of the 12- month period following the end of the previous 12-month extension with respect to any country (except for any country with respect to 241
