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in scope and are based on outdated statistical bases, reports,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