shareholder, partner, or co-venturer, alone or in cooperation with federal,
state or local governmental authorities, federal, state or national banking
associations, or any other public or private corporation or person or

may borrow money or obtain financial assistance from private lenders or
federal and state governmental authorities or issue general obligation and
revenue bonds with the same kinds of security, and in accordance with the
same procedures, restrictions and privileges applicable when the District
obtains financial assistance or issues bonds for any of its other authorized
purposes. Such Export Trading Companies are authorized, if necessary or
desirable, to apply for certification under Title II or Title III of the Export
Trading Company Act of 1982.
