Mancuso Calls for Strengthening US Government’s Enforcement Tools
May 2008
Secretary Mancuso delivered the keynote address on March 17, 2008 at the Export Control Forum in Newport Beach California. Mancuso emphasized the need to strengthen the US dual-use export control enforcement architecture and pushed for Congress to pass “a reauthorized Export Administration Act as quickly as possible.”
He also restated that his three highest policy priorities are still:
- Refining BIS’s enforcement efforts; focusing on terrorists, proliferators, and nations with transshipment concern;
- Reforming and updating dual-use export controls to enhance US national security and competitiveness;
- Accelerating and elevating international engagement with the most dynamic high technology markets in the world.
