Greater Interagency Involvement and More Effective Strategic Planning Would Enhance the National Export Strategy. Public Release; Final rept

摘要

The Export Enhancement Act of 1992 mandated that the President establish the TPCC. This mandate was implemented by Executive Order 12870, signed on September 30, 1993. In response to requirements of the Act and the Executive Order, the TPCC develops an annual report describing the current national export strategy and progress towards its implementation. According to the Act, this strategy should establish government-wide priorities for federal export promotion and financing activities and provide a plan to bring those activities of the TPCC agencies into line with the priorities (see Figure 1). The Act also anticipates that the strategy will help to eliminate overlap and duplication among federal export promotion activities, propose an annual unified federal trade promotion budget to the President, through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and promote cooperation between state and federal export promotion activities. The annual report is to be sent by the TPCC Chairman to the Congress, with the approval of the President.
