The 2001 Trade Policy Agenda and 2000 Annual Report of the
President of the United States on the Trade Agreements Program are submitted to the Congress
pursuant to Section 163 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2213). The document
includes, in Chapter II, the Annual Report on the World Trade Organization as required by
Sections 122 and 124 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, the report also
includes an annex listing trade agreements entered into by the United States since 1984. These
agreements afford increased market access or reduce foreign barriers and other trade
distorting policies.

responsible for the preparation of this report, which was written by USTR staff. The Office of the
U.S. Trade Representative gratefully acknowledges the contributions of the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Health and Human Services,
