EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE UNITED STATES


Notice of Open Special Meeting of the Advisory Committee of the 
Export-Import Bank of the United States (Export-Import Bank).

SUMMARY: The Advisory Committee was established by Public Law 98-181, 
November 30, 1983, to advise Export-Import Bank on its programs and to 
provide comments for inclusion in the reports of the Export-Import Bank 
of the United States to Congress.

TIME AND PLACE: Tuesday, April 14, 1998, at 9:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. The

Vermont Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20571.

AGENDA: The meeting will include a discussion of the following: the 
capacity of commercial banks to step up to some risk in the medium term 
in order to set the stage for the use of delegated authority; the 
availability of information from the exporter community on the net 
employment impact of a change in the foreign content policy; the 
ability of financial intermediaries in project finance cases to take on 
operational and risk-sharing roles that neutralize the administrative 
and program budget implications of offering pre-completion 
comprehensive cover; and the adequacy of short- and medium-term export 
credit availability for small and medium sized exporters and what 
additional delivery mechanisms might expand the availability of such 
support.
