In the last Congress, the subcommittee initiated the first major con- gressional inquiry on the process and problems of international ne- gotiation. The focus of our inquiry is on lessons to be learned from past and present experience in the conduct of negotiations. We are seeking to get the central issues relating to internt t,ional negotiation out in the open, to encourage, to. the extent feasible, sounder attitudes and approaches. In view of the importance of the matt.er,1 one might., expect to find substantial analytical materials, but'the,fqct, is thp.t little up-to-date and systematic work has been, done,,and the subcomini.ttee is plougj - ing new.ground. :. . In our inquiry, emphiken by the private companies has grown up.

In addition, of course, with that kind of impact, the politi- cal effect is enormous. We do have certain advisory supl)ort from our government.

Neither am I ally longer advising any of the corporations. Still I have. some opinions and one of these is that much more factual infor- mation about the operations of the multinational corporation should be made. available and that there, should be no secrecy about it. If for instance, about cost and benefits, the truth will be on the table and everybody can see what is being done by all these corpora- tions, e.o?. in the. field of transfer of t.echnologry, then the image will to my mind ~ reat.ly improve. A trrcu.t deal of information is published for instance by your De- n e rtattent, of Commerce. What, your Department of Commerce is pro- in this field is not the information which is needed because this is information which has to do with the balance of payments con- s~
