ance to such country is in the national interest of the

pended to finance any loan, any assistance or any other
financial commitments for establishing or expanding pro-
duction of any commodity for export by any country other

in surplus on world markets at the time the resulting pro-
ductive capacity is expected to become operative and if the
assistance will cause substantial injury to United States
producers of the same, similar, or competing commodity:
Provided, That such prohibition shall not apply to the Ex-
port-Import Bank if in the judgment of its Board of Direc-

modity, and the Chairman of the Board so notifies the
Committees on Appropriations.

other Act to carry out chapter 1 of part I of the Foreign

duced in the United States: Provided, That this subsection
shall not prohibit—
