Sec. 3101. Congressional statement of findings and declaration of

purpose

-STATUTE-

(a) Findings

The Congress finds and declares that -

(1) the United States Government is presently authorized to

collect limited amounts of information on United States

investment abroad and foreign investment in the United States;

(2) international investment has increased rapidly within

recent years;

(3) such investment significantly affects the economies of the

United States and other nations;

(4) international efforts to obtain information on the

activities of multinational enterprises and other international

investors have accelerated recently;

(5) the potential consequences of international investment

cannot be evaluated accurately because the United States

Government lacks sufficient information on such investment and

its actual or possible effects on the national security,

commerce, employment, inflation, general welfare, and foreign

policy of the United States;

(6) accurate and comprehensive information on international

investment is needed by the Congress to develop an informed

United States policy on such investment;

(7) United States service industries engaged in interstate and

foreign commerce account for a substantial part of the labor

force and gross national product of the United States economy,

and such commerce is rapidly increasing;

(8) international trade and services is an important issue for

international negotiations and deserves priority in the attention

of governments, international agencies, negotiators, and the

private sector; and

(9) existing estimates of international investment and trade in

services, collected under existing legal authority, are limited

in scope and are based on outdated statistical bases, reports,

and information which are insufficient for policy formulation and

decisionmaking.

(b) Purpose

It is therefore the purpose of this chapter to provide clear and

unambiguous authority for the President to collect information on

international investment and United States foreign trade in

services, whether directly or by affiliates, including related

information necessary for assessing the impact of such investment

and trade, to authorize the collection and use of information on

direct investments owned or controlled directly or indirectly by

foreign governments or persons, and to provide analyses of such

information to the Congress, the executive agencies, and the

general public. It is the intent of the Congress that information

which is collected from the public under this chapter be obtained

with a minimum burden on business and other respondents and with no

unnecessary duplication of effort, consistent with the national

interest in obtaining comprehensive and reliable information on

international investment and trade in services.

(c) Nonrestraint and nondeterrence of investment

Nothing in this chapter is intended to restrain or deter foreign

investment in the United States, United States investment abroad,

or trade in services.
