§ 4411. Findings; statement of purposes

(a) The Congress finds that there has been established in the District of Columbia a private,

sector initiatives, including activities which

promote the individual rights and freedoms

(including internationally recognized human

rights) which are essential to the functioning

of democratic institutions;

(2) to facilitate exchanges between United

States private sector groups (especially the

two major American political parties, labor,

and business) and democratic groups abroad;

two major American political parties, labor,

business, and other private sector groups) in

democratic training programs and democratic

institution-building abroad;

(4) to strengthen democratic electoral processes abroad through timely measures in cooperation with indigenous democratic forces;

(5) to support the participation of the two

major American political parties, labor, business, and other United States private sector

groups in fostering cooperation with those

United States national interests and with the

specific requirements of the democratic groups

in other countries which are aided by programs funded by the Endowment.
