The review of all agencies' technology transfer training
programs has been completed. All agencies have been found
deficient, though in varying degrees.
The Committee on Special Projects is now examining the
possibility of a two to three day interagency training course
in February - April, probably at the Foreign Service Institute.
This would be a pilot project to see if the seminar can be
successfully institutionalized on a regular basis.
The context of the proposed course would not be job
specific but would give an overview of the total problem,
the scope and methods of the Soviet acquisition program, an
account of U.S. export policies and domestic programs to counter
this threat, an explanation of what sensitive technologies are,
the workings of COCOM, technology transfer problems in key
countries, and current U.S. international initiatives. USG
experts will be used as presenters or moderators. The
clearance level required will not.be higher than secret. The
seminar would be open to all SIG agency personnel on an
invitation only basis. It is unclear as yet whether there''
will be any agency costs associated with the pilot project.
A Special Projects Working Group meeting will be held after
the SIG to discuss course content and interagency participation.
NSC review completed.
