Congressional findings. 3142. Report by Secretary of Commerce. 3143. Reports by Government Accountability Of- fice. 3144. Access to information; confidentiality. 3145. Construction of foreign direct investment and international financial data provisions. 3146. Definitions. § 3141. Congressional findings The Congress makes the following findings: (1) The United States Government collects substantial amounts of information from for- eign owned or controlled business enterprises or affiliates operating in the United States. (2) Additional analysis and presentation of this information is desirable to assist the pub- lic debate on the issue of foreign direct invest- ments in the United States. (3) Information collected from foreign owned or controlled firms by the Bureau of Economic Analysis has serious analytical limitations be- cause it is largely collected on an ‘‘enterprise’’ basis that does not permit an adequate anal- ysis by industry groupings. (4) Statistical and analytic comparisons of the performance of foreign owned or con- trolled businesses operating within the United States with other business enterprises oper- ating within the same industry can be accom- plished under sections 3101(b) and 3104(c) of this title, and under Executive Order Num- bered 11961, without the need to collect addi- tional information, by sharing with other au- thorized Government agencies the employer identification numbers maintained by the Bu- reau of Economic Analysis. (5) Public disclosures of confidential busi- ness information collected by the United States Government relating to international direct investment flows could cause serious damage to the accuracy of the statistical data base.
