L. 115–32, § 5(b), May 8, 2017, 131 Stat. 844, related to use of funds appropriated to the Department of State for international expositions. #### United States Competition for a World Expo Pub. L. 115–32, May 8, 2017, 131 Stat. 843, provided that: “SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.“This Act may be cited as the ‘U.S. Wants to Compete for a World Expo Act’. “SEC. 2. FINDINGS.“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)](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title22-section2801/a&num=0&edition=prelim)) 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. “SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.“It is the sense of Congress that—“(1) the United States should rejoin the BIE immediately to promote domestic job creation, global branding, and tourism to the United States; and “(2) the Secretary of State, in partnership with the Secretary of Commerce, State and local governments, and private and non-profit entities, should take all necessary steps to facilitate the timely submission of a request to rejoin the BIE. “SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION.“(a) In General.—The Secretary of State is authorized to take such actions as the Secretary determines necessary for the United States to rejoin and maintain membership in the BIE. “(b) Authorization To Accept Private Contributions.—In addition to funds otherwise available to the Secretary to carry out this section, the Secretary is authorized to accept contributions for such purpose. “(c) Notification.—The Secretary of State shall notify the Committees on Foreign Affairs and Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Committees on Foreign Relations and Appropriations of the Senate upon taking any action under subsection (a). “SEC. 5. CONTINUATION OF PROHIBITION ON USE OF FEDERAL FUNDS FOR WORLD’S FAIR PAVILIONS AND EXHIBITS.“(a) Continuation of Prohibition.—Nothing in this Act may be construed to authorize any obligation or expenditure prohibited by section 204 of the Admiral James W. Nance and Meg Donovan Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 2000 and 2001 ([22 U.S.C. 2452b](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title22-section2452b&num=0&edition=prelim)) (relating to limitations on the obligation or expenditure of funds by the Department of State for a United States pavilion or exhibit at an international exposition or world’s fair registered by the BIE). “(b) Prohibition on Solicitation of Funds.— [Amended this section.]”

22 U.S.C. § 2801 — Congressional findings

The Congress finds that— **(a)** international expositions, when properly organized, financed, and executed, have a significant impact on the economic growth of the region surrounding the exposition and, under appropriate international sanction, are important instruments of national policy, particularly in the exchange of ideas and the demonstration of cultural achievements between peoples; **(b)** in view of the widely varying circumstances under which international expositions have developed in the United States, the different degrees to which the Federal Government has assisted and participated in such expositions, and the increasing number of proposals for future expositions, the national interest requires that Federal action concerning such expositions be given orderly consideration; and **(c)** such orderly consideration is best achieved by the development of uniform standards, criteria, and procedures to establish the conditions under which the Government hereafter will (A) recognize international expositions proposed to be held in the United States, and (B) take part in such expositions.
