The United States Trade Representative is responsible for directing all
trade negotiations of and formulating trade policy for the United
States.

The Office of the United States Trade Representative was created as the
Office of the Special Representative for Trade Negotiations by Executive
Order 11075 of January 15, 1963. The Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2171)
established the Office as an agency of the Executive Office of the
President charged with administering the trade agreements program.
    The Office is responsible for setting and administering overall
trade policy. It also provides that the United States Trade
Representative shall be chief representative of the United States for
the following:
    --all activities concerning the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade;
    --discussions, meetings, and negotiations in the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development when such activities deal primarily
with trade and commodity issues;
    --negotiations in the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development and
other multilateral institutions when such negotiations deal primarily
with trade and commodity issues;
    --other bilateral and multilateral negotiations when trade,
including East-West trade, or commodities is the primary issue;
    --negotiations under sections 704 and 734 of the Tariff Act of 1930
(19 U.S.C. 1671c and 1673c); and
    --negotiations concerning direct investment incentives and
disincentives and bilateral investment issues concerning barriers to
investment.
    The Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 codified these
prior authorities and added additional authority, including the
implementation of section 301 actions (regarding enforcement of U.S.
rights under international trade agreements).
    The Office is headed by the United States Trade Representative, a
Cabinet-level official with the rank of Ambassador, who is directly
responsible to the President. There are three Deputy United States Trade
Representatives, who also hold the rank of Ambassador--two located in
Washington and one in Geneva. The Chief Agricultural Negotiator also
holds the rank of Ambassador.
    The United States Trade Representative serves as an ex officio
member of the Boards of Directors of the Export-Import Bank and the
Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and serves on the National
Advisory Council for International Monetary and Financial Policy.
