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.
