Knoxville Expo '82: Why Changes Are

Needed In Law On Reuse Of U.S. Pavilions

At International Expositions



The Department of Commerce is building a permanent,
rather than a temporary, pavilion for the Knoxville Expo

'82, even though there are no firm plans for its use after             114677
the exposition. Construction of the more costly perma-
nent building is not justified and is attributable in part to
weaknesses in the law governing reuse of U.S. pavilions.

The law does not mandate construction of a less costly
temporary pavilion when there are no plans for its later
use. Nor does it direct Commerce to design a pavilion
that will meet the immediate needs of the exhibition as
well as the subsequent needs of the Federal Government.

These and other weaknesses in the law were identified in
a 1976 GAO report. GAO is reiterating its recommenda-
tion to amend the law to maximize the reuse of U.S.
pavilions.

This report was requested by the former Chairman, Sub-
committee on State, Justice, Commerce, the Judiciary
and Related Agencies, Senate Committee on Appropria-
tions.
