Kasich Chairman, Committee on the Budget House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: At your request, we examined progress made by the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC)' towards establishing a governmentwide strategy for promoting U.S. exports. This TPCC effort was mandated by title II of the Export Enhancement Act of 1992 (P.L. 102-429, Oct. 21, 1992).2 We focused on TPCC efforts to fulfill the legislative requirements that the strategy (1) establish governmentwide priorities for federal export promotion activities and (2) propose an annual unified federal export promotion budget that reflects those priorities. This letter provides a status report on TPCC efforts to meet these requirements. 'TPCC is an interagency organization created to strengthen federal export promotion efforts. The Secretary of Commerce chairs TPCC, and its membership includes the heads of the Agency for International Development; the Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Energy, the Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, and the Treasury; the Council of Economic Advisers; the Environmental Protection Agency; the U.S. Export-Import Bank; the Office of Management and Budget; the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative; the Overseas Private Investment Corporation; the Small Business Administration; the U.S. Information Agency; and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency. 2Several of our reports and testimonies contributed to deliberations leading to passage and implementation of the 1992 Export Enhancement Act, including Export Promotion: Governmentwide Strategy Needed for Federal Programs (GAO/T-GGD- 93-7, Mar. 15, 1993); Export Promotion: Federal Approach Is Fragmented (GAO/T- GGD-92-68, Aug. 10, 1992); and Export Promotion: Federal Programs Lack Organizational and Funding Cohesiveness (GAO/NSIAD-92-49, Jan. 10, 1992).
