creation of jobs in the United States through the promotion of exports, 
and to ensure the effective use of Federal resources in support of 
these goals. The Executive Order can be found online at https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/executive-order-national-export-initiative. The Executive Order instructs the Export Promotion Cabinet, 
through the TPCC, to provide a report to the President within 180 days 
on a comprehensive plan to carry out the goals of the NEI.
     The TPCC, established by the Export Enhancement Act of 
1992 (Pub. L. 102-429), is an interagency committee that coordinates 
the development of U.S. Government trade promotion policies and 
programs. The TPCC is composed of representatives from 20 Federal
