Business America January 1993-June 1994: Vol 114-115 Index

Business America Index
This index of Business America provides a reference to the articles and features published in all issues of the
magazine during 1993 and the first half of 1994, with the exception of this July 1994 issue (the 1994 index begins
on page 27). We have prepared annual indexes since the magazine began publishing under the name of Business
America on Oct. 23, 1978. The index is designed as a tool for readers trying to locate material published in past
issues of the magazine. The citation numbers in the index for 1993 represent issue number, date of issue, and page
amber; for articles in 1994 the month of issue and the page number, but not the issue 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 1993 and 1994 can be obtained for $3.00 from Superintendent of
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402; tel. (202) 783-3238. Many U.S. libraries
subscribe to Business America, and it is included in the National Trade Data Bank (call 202-482-1986).
