John Sarbanes: “Surely 212 defines how the President can carve out from 211 foreign availability, and 213 defines how the President can…”

On the recordSeptember 4, 2001
Surely 212 defines how the President can carve out from 211 foreign availability, and 213 defines how the President can set aside mass market status determinations, both of which are in section 211. So 211 sets out these things, and then 212 and 213 provide the Presidential carve-out from the requirements of 211. This isn't relevant if the President invokes section 201(d) because 201(d) in effect negates section 211. So there is no reason to go to the carve-outs in 212 or 213. The President doesn't have to invoke 201(d). And he can do the carve-outs according to 212 and 213, depending on whether it is foreign availability or mass market.
