An Analysis of Export Control of U.S. Technology - A DOD Perspective. A Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Export of U.S. Technology

Abstract

The assessment of selected technologies, their impact on U.S. strategic requirements, transfer mechanisms, and current effectiveness of export control restrictions reinforce the need for export controls and the CoCom agreement as a defense necessity. The effectiveness of these controls for the more critical technologies needs to be improved through definition of policy objectives, simplified criteria, and a more pragmatic approach to the review and approval of license applications. Products of technology not directly of significance to the Department of Defense should be eliminated from controls to enable more effective control of significant items. The findings and principal recommendations of the Task Force are discussed in this report.
