Export Promotion: Initial Assessment of Governmentwide Strategic Plan
(Testimony, 09/29/93, GAO/T-GGD-93-48).

This testimony examines a just-released report by the Trade Promotion
Coordinating Committee on the development of an overall government plan
for federal trade promotion programs.  GAO views this newly issued plan
as a status report on progress to date.  The report identifies some
potentially major changes that have resulted from the Committee's
deliberations, including the creation of a network of "one-stop shop"
trade promotion centers.  In addition, the report clearly commits the
administration to completing the difficult tasks of setting
governmentwide priorities and creating a unified budget for export
promotion activities as part of the fiscal year 1995 budget.  GAO is
also encouraged by the plan's commitment to a more systematic use of
measures to evaluate trade promotion programs and by its proposal to
better coordinate trade promotion and trade policy agencies.
