SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) As the world’s largest economy, the United 
States has an enormous stake in the future of the 
global trading system. 
(2) Exports are a crucial force driving the 
United States economy and job creation. 
(3) While nearly 97 percent of United States 
exporters are small and medium enterprises (SMEs),

SMEs account for just over one-fourth of exports, 
leaving much room for growth. 
(4) Two-thirds of United States exporters have 
fewer than 20 employees and sell to just one foreign 
market. 
(5) Manufacturers account for 61 percent of 
total United States exports with small manufactur-
ers accounting for approximately 15 percent of total 
United States exports. Thirty percent of small man-
ufacturers do not currently export but would con-
sider doing so if they had more help in securing vital 
information on foreign markets, customers, and ex-
port procedures. 
(6) United States small and medium enterprises 
face tough competition from trading partners of the 
United States that aggressively undertake export 
promotion programs that directly support and un-
derwrite the expanded growth in trade of their small 
and medium enterprises. 
(7) United States trade promotion is carried 
out in part by 21 departments and agencies of the 
Federal Government. Representatives from these 
Federal departments and agencies are members of 
the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee 
(TPCC), a Federal committee that has not lived up
