THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE
WASHINGTON 25
Under the Export Control Act of 1949 as extended, the Department
of Commerce is responsible for the regulation of U. S. exports for reasons
of short supply, foreign policy and national security. The Act requires
the Department, in making essential policy determinations, to seek information
and advice from other departments and agencies of the Government which have
a primary concern in U. S. exports.
The Department's Advisory Committee on Export Policy (ACEP)
structure has provided an effective and satisfactory method of compliance
with this legislative requirement. I am grateful to you and your official
representatives for helping to make this possible.
I am now approving a reorganization of the ACEP structure and a
revision of its terms of reference in accordance with recent advice of ACEP
members. As explained in the enclosed memorandum, the structure will continue
substantially as heretofore, except for the elimination of the Joint Operating
Committee. However, the responsibility of the ACEP structure will be related
exclusively to U. S. export control policy problems, particularly in the two
major areas of short supply and national security. It is expected that this
action will reduce some of the administrative burdens on member agencies
and the Department of Commerce, without impairing the effectiveness of the
interdepartmental advisory system.
The value of the reorganized ACEP structure will depend in large
measure on maintaining representation at the highest practicable level so
that the Department of Commerce will be provided with authoritative informa-
tion and policy advice. Accordingly, it is my hope that, as a general rule,
members of ACEP will be at the Assistant Secretary level, with their first
alternates as members of the Operating Committee.
I invite your Agency's participation on the reorganized ACEP
structure as an observer for national security export control problems. For
this purpose, I should appreciate your designating your representatives and
alternates on the Advisory Committee on Export Policy and on the Operating
Committee.
Sincerely yours,
Secretary of Commerce.
