U.S. Trade and Development Agency: Limitations Exist in Its Ability to
Help Generate U.S. Exports (Chapter Report, 10/20/93, GAO/GGD-94-9).

Major development projects overseas represent export potential for U.S.
exporters because such projects generally use imported capital goods and
incorporate a high level of technology.  To help promote economic
development in and the export of U.S. goods and services to developing
and middle-income countries, Congress created the U.S. Trade and
Development Agency in 1980.  This report reviews (1) how the agency's
activities can boost U.S. exports; (2) what factors have affected the
agency's efforts to generate U.S. exports; and (3) how five other
countries--France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United
Kingdom--approach major development projects abroad that may increase
their exports.
