Congressional findings The Congress finds that— (a) international expositions, when properly organized, financed, and executed, have a sig- nificant impact on the economic growth of the region surrounding the exposition and, under appropriate international sanction, are impor- tant instruments of national policy, particu- larly in the exchange of ideas and the dem- onstration of cultural achievements between peoples; (b) in view of the widely varying cir- cumstances under which international expo- sitions 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 con- cerning such expositions be given orderly con- sideration; and (c) such orderly consideration is best achieved by the development of uniform stand- ards, criteria, and procedures to establish the conditions under which the Government here- after will (A) recognize international expo- sitions proposed to be held in the United States, and (B) take part in such expositions. (Pub. L. 91–269, § 1, May 27, 1970, 84 Stat. 271.) § 2802. Federal recognition (a) Eligibility requirements Any international exposition proposed to be held in the United States shall be eligible on ap- plication from its sponsors to receive the rec- ognition of the Federal Government upon a find- ing of the President that recognition will be in the national interest. In making such a finding the President shall consider— (1) a report by the Secretary of Commerce which shall include (A) an evaluation of pur- poses and reasons for the exposition, and (B) a determination that guaranteed financial and other support has been secured by the expo- sition from affected State and local govern- ments and from business and civic leadership of the region and others in amounts sufficient in his judgment to assure the successful devel- opment and progress of the exposition; (2) a report by the Secretary of State that the proposed exposition qualifies for consider- ation of registration by the Bureau of Inter- national Expositions (hereafter referred to as BIE); and (3) such other evidence as the President may consider to be appropriate. (b) Recognition and registration procedure; com- pliance with international convention; par- ticipation by States and foreign governments Upon a finding by the President that an inter- national exposition is eligible for Federal rec- ognition, the President may take such measures recognizing the exposition as he deems proper, including, but not limited to— (1) presenting of an official request by the United States for registration of the expo- sition by the BIE; (2) providing for fulfillment of the require- ments of the Convention of November 22, 1928, as amended, relating to international expo- sitions; and (3) extending invitations, by proclamation or by such other manner he deems proper, to the several States of the Union and to foreign gov- ernments to take part in the exposition, pro-
