DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 2095]

 

Renewal and Amendment of Charter of the Advisory Committee on 
International Economic Policy

    The Department of State has renewed and amended the Charter of the 
Advisory Committee on International Investment Policy, now known as the 
Advisory Committee on International Economic Policy. The Advisory 
Committee on International Economic Policy (hereinafter, the Committee) 
will advise the United States Government on major issues and problems 
related to international economic policy. The amended Charter has been 
renewed for a period of two years.
    The Committee will: (a) Provide information and advice on the 
effective integration of economic interests into overall foreign 
policy;
    (b) Appraise the role and limits of international economic 
institutions; and
    (c) Provide information and advice on the Department of State's 
role in advancing American commercial interests in a competitive global 
economy.
    The Committee will provide advice and assistance in the formulation 
of U.S. policy, positions, proposals and strategies for multilateral 
and bilateral negotiations, particularly where the State Department has 
the lead negotiating authority.
    The amended Charter of the Committee reflects the broader range of 
international economic issues the committee will consider than the 
previous Committee mandate to provide information and advice solely on 
investment policy.

authority of the Secretary of State and the Department of State as set

with the relevant provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 
Public Law 92-463. The approval of this Charter by the Under Secretary 
of State for Management under delegated authority constitutes the 
determination by the Secretary of State that the establishment of the 
Committee is in the public interest and essential to the conduct of 
business of the Department of State.
    Committee meetings will be open to the public unless a
