## SEC. 2 FINDINGS **[**[22 U.S.C. 2452b note](/us/usc/t22/s2452b)**]** Congress finds the following: ####
(1)The Bureau of International Expositions
(BIE)is the organization responsible for governing World Fairs and International Expositions. ####
(2)Section 1(a) of Public Law 91-269 (22 U.S.C. 2801(a)) found that “international expositions . . . have a significant impact on the economic growth of the region surrounding the exposition and . . . are important instruments of national policy”. ####
(3)The United States has not been an active member of the BIE since 2001. ####
(4)State and local governments and private entities in the United States have continued to participate in international expositions held in foreign countries as a means of promoting United States exports and creating jobs, but face significantly higher costs for such participation because the United States is not an active member. ####
(5)State and local governments and private entities in the United States have expressed interest in an international exposition being hosted in the United States, but the bid of a United States city, region, or State to host an international exposition is unlikely to be successful if the United States is not a member of the BIE.
