                                    As you requested, in view of Congress' current consideration of the 1995
                                    Farm Bill, we identified options proposed by public and private sector
                                    organizations for improving title XV agricultural export assistance
                                    programs administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (UsDA).
                                    Specifically, our objectives were to identify options suggested for
                                    improving the effectiveness of these programs and to categorize these
                                    options in a conceptual framework to assist congressional evaluation and
                                    review.



Background                          Title XV has four types of agricultural export assistance programs:
                                    (1) market development and export promotion programs that attempt to
                                    develop, maintain, and expand foreign markets for U.S. agricultural
                                    products, specifically the Market Promotion Program (MPP) and the
                                    Foreign Market Development Program, also known as the Cooperator
                                    Program;1




                                    'MPP and Cooperator Program activities focus primarily on advertising, trade servicing, and technical
                                    assistance to foreign importers, government officials, distributors, and consumers.
