Pub. L. 101–624, title XIX, § 1951,
Pub. L. 103–194, § 2, “(a) Congress finds the following:“(1) The Lime Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Act of 1990 [7 U.S.C. 6201 et seq.] was enacted on “(2) The lime research, promotion, and consumer information order required by such Act became effective on “(3) Although the intent of such Act was to cover seedless limes, the definition of the term ‘lime’ in section 1953(6) of such Act [7 U.S.C. 6202(6)] applies to seeded limes. Therefore, the Act and the order need to be revised before a research, promotion, and consumer information program on seedless limes can go into effect.“(4) Since the enactment of the Lime Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Act of 1990, the United States production of fresh market limes has plummeted and the volume of imports has risen dramatically. The drop in United States production is primarily due to damage to lime orchards in the State of Florida by Hurricane Andrew in August 1992. United States production is not expected to reach pre-Hurricane Andrew levels for possibly two to three years because a majority of the United States production of limes is in Florida.“(b) The purpose of this Act [see Short Title of 1993 Amendment note above] is—“(1) to revise the definition of the term ‘lime’ in order to cover seedless and not seeded limes;“(2) to increase the exemption level;“(3) to delay the initial referendum date; and“(4) to alter the composition of the Lime Board.”
