Export Promotion
Governmentwide Plan Contributes to Improvements Gao ID: T-GGD-94-35 October 26, 1993This testimony discusses the federal strategic plan to promote exports that was issued last month by the interagency Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee. GAO's initial assessment of the strategic plan, "Toward a National Export Strategy," is that it represents a big step toward implementing the requirements of the Export Enhancement Act of 1993. The report notes some potentially significant changes that have resulted from the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee's deliberations to date. The plan clearly commits the administration to completing the difficult job of setting governmentwide priorities and creating a unified budget for federal export promotion activities within the fiscal year 1995 budget.
