Subject
Summary:

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.
