    A company shall be eligible to receive financial assistance under

    program under such subchapters would be in the economic interest of

    the manufacture of major components or subassemblies in the United 
    States); significant contributions to employment in the United 
    States; an agreement with respect to any technology arising from 
    assistance provided under this section to promote the manufacture 
    within the United States of products resulting from that technology 
    (taking into account the goals of promoting the competitiveness of 
    United States industry), and to procure parts and materials from 
    competitive suppliers; and
        (2) either--
            (A) the company is a United States-owned company; or
            (B) the Secretary finds that the company is incorporated in 
        the United States and has a parent company which is incorporated 
        in a country which affords to United States-owned companies 
        opportunities, comparable to those afforded to any other 
        company, to participate in any joint venture similar to those 
        authorized under this Act; affords to United States-owned 
        companies local investment opportunities comparable to those 
        afforded to any other company; and affords adequate and 
        effective protection for the intellectual property rights of 
        United States-owned companies.
