    \5\ Section 22 provides in part as follows:
    ``(a) Whenever the Secretary of Agriculture has reason to believe 
that any article or articles are being or are practically certain to be 
imported into the United States under such conditions and in such 
quantities as to render or tend to render ineffective, or materially 
interfere with * * * any loan, purchase, or other program or operation 
undertaken by the Department of Agriculture, or any agency operating 
under its direction, with respect to any agricultural commodity or 
product thereof, or to reduce substantially the amount of any product 
processed in the United States from any agricultural commodity or 
product thereof with respect to which any such program or operation is 
being undertaken he shall so advise the President, and, if the President 
agrees that there is reason for such belief, the President shall cause 
an immediate investigation to be made by the United States Tariff 
Commission, which shall give precedence to investigations under this 
section to determine such facts. Such investigation shall be made after 
due notice and opportunity for hearing to interested parties, and shall 
be conducted subject to such regulations as the President shall specify.
     * * * * *
    ``(d) After investigation, report, finding and declaration in the 
manner provided in the case of a proclamation issued pursuant to 
subsection (b) of this section, any proclamation or provision of such 
proclamation may be suspended or terminated by the President whenever he 
finds and proclaims that the circumstances requiring the proclamation or 
provision thereof no longer exist or may be modified by the President 
whenever he finds and proclaims that changed circumstances require such 
modification to carry out the purposes of this section.'' (7 U.S.C. 
624.)
    Regulations of the President are set forth in Executive Order 7233 
of November 23, 1935.
