COSEPUP Charge lo the Pane!
The purpose of the Panel on the Impact of National Security Controls
on International Technology Transfer is to seek strategies to regulate the
international transfer of technology through industrial channels in such a
manner as to balance the national objectives of national security, eco-
nomic vitality, scientific and technological advance, and commercial,
educational, and personal freedom. In pursuit of this objective, the panel
shall:
(1) Examine the international environment in technology to provide
insight into:
a. the problems of regulating the availability of "dual-use" tech
.
nologles;
b. the international competitive status of these technologies and
range of practices to promote their use both in CoCom and
non-CoCom countries;
the problems in extending controls on the international exchange
of data;
d. the role of technology transfer and the interdependence among
industrialized countries of the Free World in the development
and application of technology; and
the role of foreign nationals in developing and applying "sensi-
tive" industrial technology of U.S. origin.
(2) Assess the control problem for the Free World industrialized
countries. Examine what is being lost through commercial chan

eels, how, and to whom in order to provide a basis for establishing
priorities among alternative control measures. Consider the nature
and extent of the Soviet effort to acquire technology from the West
and the actual capacity of the Warsaw Pact to absorb and utilize
such technology within their military systems.
(3) Assess the effectiveness of the current control scheme employed by
the member states of CoCom and, in particular, investigate the
views of and constraints on the non-U.S. members of CoCom.
(4) Review and assess the impacts on industry of current export control
policies and proposed regulatory changes, including multinational
companies, U.S.-based exporting companies, and nonexporting
companies.
(5) Examine the current assignment of policymaking responsibilities on
export control matters within the U.S. government and among the
CoCom countries. Consider the practicability and desirability of
new mechanisms or approaches to balance the military, commer-
cial, scientific, and educational interests affected by export control

(6) Consider alternative approaches to the technology transfer prob-
lem, including a possible emphasis on alternative strategies that
maintain the technology lead. Make recommendations, as appro-
priate, for the adoption of new approaches by private industry, the
U.S. government, and by industries and governments in other
countries.
