Business America Index
January-Decgmber 1996
This index of Business America provides a reference to the articles and features published in all issues of
the magazine during 1996. We have prepared annual indexes since the magazine began publishing under
the name of Business America on October 23, 1978. The index is designed as a tool for readers trying to
locate material published in past issues of the magazine. The month of issue and the page number are cited.
Articles have been indexed by subject, country, and—in some instances—by product or service. Unless
otherwise noted, the authors are employees of the U.S. Department of Commerce, most of them in the
International Trade Administration (ITA). Single copies of back issues from 1996 can be obtained for $4.50
from Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
