A : → Further to my teleconversation today with the representative of the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia, we were told that whether or not US custom would execute new measures to control garment shipment from Cambodia has yet been decided at the moment. We were told that the Cambodian government is negotiating with the US government.
