INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER: GENERAL ISSUES 



An Analysis of Export Control of U.S. Technology — A DOD Perspective: A Repor^ 

 of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Export of U.S. Technology. Wash-

 The assessment of selected technologies, their impact on U.S. strategic 

 requirements, transfer mechanisms, and current effectiveness of export 

 control restrictions reinforces the need for export controls and the CoCom 

 agreement as a defense necessity. The effectiveness of these controls for the 

 more critical technologies needs to be improved through definition of policy 

 objectives, simplified criteria, and a more pragmatic approach to the review 

 and approval of license applications. Products of technology not directly of 

 significance to the Department of Defense should be eliminated from controls 

 to enable more effective control of significant items. The findings and principal 

 recommendations of the Task Force are discu.ssed in this report.

 existing research facilities in less developed countries to assist in a research 

 program. These scientists would be sponsored by their own professional so-

This report summarizes most of the papci-s given at a two-week meeting 

 on technology transfer (TT). The meeting dealt with TT theory, military/ 

 public sector TT, and industrial sector TT, including the role of industry in 

 TT to lesser-developed countries.
