SUBJECT Comments on TOR for Strategic
Technology Transfer SIG 0
1. It is clear from the discussion at the initial SIG
meeting that the US and its allies are not properly organized to
cope with the serious threat posed by the Soviet program to
acquire Western strategic technology. As our assessment of the
Soviet Bloc effort points out, we are dealing with a centrally-
organized and well-managed global program that has been extremely
successful. None of the existing control or enforcement bodies
is adequate to cope with the complex problems as described and no
unifying mechanism exists toing all the individual bodies to
bear on the Soviet effort.
2. If we are effectively to stop Soviet acquisitions of US
and Western strategic technologies, we must start by establishing
a mechanism to coordinate the efforts of the many existing US
bodies. We are prepared to work with any organization created to
perform this essential task. Whether the SIG you propose is the
right way to go is a matter clearly best resolved by the White
House and policy agencies. We cannot, however, too strongly
emphasize the need for some sort of central coordinating
