The report is to include and assessment of : (1) the U.S. capacitor and resistor industrial base, (2) the impact of relevant tariff reductions required by the December 1996 Information Technology Agreement (ITA), (3) the extent to which the Department of Defense (DoD) is dependent on foreign sources for its resistors and capacitors, and (4) any associated national security implications.
