The chairman of the Coamittee on Armed Services recently established a
full comai,ttee panel on the transfer of defense-related technology to.foreign
nations. I have been afforded the opportunity to chair that panel.
The panel has been directed to examine the present state of the transfer
of U.S. technology to foreign nations, and particularly the di~`ect or indirect
transfer of such technology to the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact nations. '
The panel will attempt to identify those technologies that, if compromised,
would have a significant impact on U.S. national security. It will evaluate
the process by which such technology is transferred. And?i}~.will assess the
procedures used by the Departments of Commerce, Defease and"State to ensure
against the compromise of technology and defense articles that significantly
impact on U.S. defense. capabilities. ~ .
The panel will require the assistance of your organization in completing
our task. Z am writing to reQuest that assistance Although ahearing -
schedule has not yet been determined, it is likely that we will. ask for a
witness from your organization to testify before the panel.. I would appreciate
knowing who in your organization would be most appropriate as a witness given
the tasking we face. In addition a point of contact within your organization
that can assist the panel staff in coordinating activities a `n gathering
information would be most helpful. The name of the mess and t point.. of
-contact can be relayed to Bob Emmerichs (225-6873) ocr Alan Chase t~'L25-9b47)
,.~ ..s,.. ____~ _~_tt r
I consider the issue the panel is addressing to .be of extraordinary
importance to our future security. I hope that, together, we can ensure that
.the laws and procedures governing the transfer of technology will maximize
that security. I look forward to your assistance to that end.
Sincerely,
Earl Hutto
Chairman,
Technology Transfer Panel
