to congressional intent to provide a seamless offering 
of export promotion products and services due in 
part to the inadequate allocation of resources and a 
lack of ultimate decision making budget input au-
thority to ensure effective results are achieved for 
the invested resources. 
(8) United States small and medium enterprises 
lack an effective voice in trade policy formulation, 
implementation, and promotion due in part to inad-
equate resource distribution by the Small Business 
Administration that would aggressively champion 
trade issues for small and medium enterprises in all 
fora. 
SEC. 3. PURPOSE. 
The purpose of this Act and the amendments made 
by this Act is to improve the performance and results of 
trade promotion policies and programs of the Federal Gov-
ernment in accordance with the Government Performance 
and Results Act of 1993 (Public Law 103–62).
