MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Technology Transfer Assessment Center/DI
Chief, Intelligence Community Affairs/OGC
FROM: (Legislation Division STAT
.Office of Congressional Affairs
SUBJECT: Monitoring of Technology Transfers, S. 487
1. Attached is a copy of S. 487, which is a bill to
require the monitoring of technology transfers vis-a-vis
intellectual property. It is designed, in part, to eliminate
unfair trade practices such as foreign government requirements
to transfer or divulge technical data as a condition of
importing U.S. goods. The United States Trade Representative
is required to monitor technology transfers and prepare an
annual report on this issue.
2. The impact of the bill on the Agency seems to be
benign. In view of the fact that a great amount of trade
legislation is being introduced in this session of Congress, it
is quite possible that this bill could be included and passed
in another bill. Thus, I have forwarded it to you so that you
are aware of it and can pass along to me any concerns you may
