The bill, briefly
International Data Improvement Act of 1990 - Amends the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act to direct the President to report to the Congress regarding the status of integrated business data acquired by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) from the Bureau of the Census with respect to the range and scope of foreign business ownership interests in the United States. (Presently the two organizations may not share such data with one another.) Amends Federal census law to direct the BEA and the Bureau of the Census to exchange and use data regarding foreign business ownership in the United States ("statistical establishment list information"). Sets forth confidentiality guidelines for such a data exchange and establishes criminal penalties for violations of such guidelines. Authorizes the President to request BEA reports on foreign direct investment in a given industry, including foreign acquisitions investigated under the Defense Production Act of 1950.
