               TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
 
 CHAPTER 18--UNITED STATES INFORMATION AND EDUCATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
 
           SUBCHAPTER IV--PARTICIPATION BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
 
Sec. 1458. Policy governing rendition of services

    In authorizing the performance of technical and other services under 
this subchapter, it is the sense of the Congress (1) that the Secretary 
shall encourage through any appropriate Government agency the 
performance of such services to foreign governments by qualified private 
American individuals and agencies, and shall not enter into the 
performance of such services to any foreign government where such 
services may be performed adequately by qualified private American 
individuals and agencies and such qualified individuals and agencies are 
available for the performance of such services; (2) that if such 
services are rendered by a Government agency, they shall demonstrate the 
technical accomplishments of the United States, such services being of 
an advisory, investigative, or instructional nature, or a demonstration 
of a technical process; (3) that such services shall not include the 
construction of public works or the supervision of the construction of 
public works, and that, under authority of this chapter, a Government 
agency shall render engineering services related to public works only 
when the Secretary shall determine that the national interest demands 
the rendering of such services by a Government agency, but this policy 
shall not be interpreted to preclude the assignment of individual 
specialists as advisers to other governments as provided under 
subchapter III of this chapter, together with such incidental assistance 
as may be necessary for the accomplishment of their individual 
assignments.
