STATEMENT OF

FRANK C. CONAHAN

DIRECTOR, INTERNATIONAL DIVISION 115085

BEFORE THE

SUBCOMMITTEE ON INTERNATIONAL FINANCE AND MONETARY POLICY

SENATE COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING, AND URBAN AFFAIRS

ON THEADINISTRATION OF

EXPORT CONTROLS UNDER .4 EXPORT ADMINISTRATION AC&

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

We are pleased to be here today to share with you our views

on the export control system for commercially available commodi-

ties as administered by the Department of Commerce and a group of

consulting agencies. As you know, under the Export Administra-

tion Act, the United States controls the export of dual use

commercial products and processes for national security, foreign

policy and short supply purposes. Our current ireview addressesi

congressional concerns about how well the system is carrying out

the Act's national security goal of controlling exports of mili-

tarily significant technology and products to Russia and other

Eastern bloc nations. This particular aspect of the control sys-

tem requires that the Department of Defense must be consulted by

Commerce and that Defense may recommend that the President deny

any application on national security grounds.
