Sununu Chief of Staff Mrs. Kaythryn M. Darling Fairview Street Fairlee, Vermont 05045 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 26, 1991 Dear Keith, Thank you for your recent letter. I appreciate your insights and the sentiments which prompted you to write. I understand you recently met with our staff on this matter and I've asked them to keep you informed on our activities. I appreciate your bringing this to my attention. Sincerely, John John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The Honorable Keith A. Butler Councilman City of Detroit 1340 City-County Building Detroit, Michigan 48226 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 26, 1991 Dear Phyllis, Thank you for your recent letter regarding our export control policies on dual-use equipment and technology, that is, items that have both a military and a civilian use. As you may know, for over forty years the United States has led our allies in maintaining a policy of controlling the export of militarily sensitive technologies. We continue to provide that leadership. As a result of a thorough review of the strategic threat by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), supported by our intelligence community, the United States is participating in multilateral negotiations on export controls of dual-use items. In the course of its assessment, the JCS took account of the global diffusion of technology that has resulted, for example, in personal computers of a relatively high capability becoming "off-the-shelf" commodities and therefore uncontrollable. The result of this effort is a shortening of the control list which will allow for better enforcement of the controls, while ensuring our continued strategic lead in the most critical technologies. The Department of Defense, based on this JCS review, has actively supported the revision of our export controls which will focus on truly gap-closing technologies that give our military its strategic edge so amply demonstrated by the Patriot and Tomahawk missiles in the recent Gulf conflict. It is also important to note that we have significantly strengthened export controls across the broad spectrum of technologies and goods that could support the spread of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver such weapons of mass destruction. Enclosed is a press statement and fact sheet on these new controls. Thanks for taking the time to write. Sincerely, Jhn John H. Sununu Chief of Staff Ms. Phyllis Schlafly President Eagle Forum 68 Fairmont Alton, Illinois 62002 THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release March 7, 1991 The United States has taken a major step in its continuing efforts to halt the spread of weapons of mass destruction, with the issuance of regulations extending export controls over chemicals, equipment, and other assistance that can contribute to the spread of missiles and chemical and biological weapons. Saddam Hussein's use of chemical weapons against his own citizens, his use of SCUD missiles to terrorize civilian populations, and the chilling specter of germ warfare and nuclear weapons have brought home the dangers proliferation poses to American interests and global peace and stability. Our continuing efforts to stem the spread of weapons of mass destruction will contribute to the construction of a New World Order. The new regulations will enhance our ability to head off these dangers so that, in the future, we will not be forced to confront them militarily as we have in Iraq. At the same time, the new regulations are sensitive to the importance of U.S. exports to our economic vitality, and will not unfairly restrict legitimate commerce. The expanded U.S. export controls apply to equipment, chemicals, and whole plants that can be used to manufacture chemical or biological weapons, as well as to activities of U.S. exporters or citizens when they know or are informed that their efforts will assist in a foreign missile or chemical or biological weapon program. But the United States cannot do the job alone. Our experience in the Gulf has reinforced the lesson that the most effective export controls are those imposed multilaterally. The Administration has therefore initiated vigorous efforts to obtain allied support for chemical and biological weapon export controls in the Australia Group, missile export controls in the Missile Technology Control Regime, and nuclear export controls through consultations with all major nuclear suppliers. These efforts will take advantage of the growing international consensus to redouble our efforts to stem the spread of weapons of mass destruction. The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction may profoundly challenge our national security in the 1990s. The new regulations issued today and our multilateral initiatives will enhance our ability to meet that challenge squarely. # # 1 FACT SHEET ON NEW NONPROLIFERATION REGULATIONS Three regulations are being published in the Federal Register. These regulations will contribute to our nonproliferation efforts by implementing parts of the Executive Order on chemical and biological weapons (CBW) issued by the President last November and the Enhanced Proliferation Controls Initiative launched last December. At the same time, the regulations have been designed to minimize interference with legitimate international trade. The first regulation establishes a list of dual-use equipment with legitimate commercial uses, but also potential applications to chemical and biological weapons production. Licenses will now be required before exporting any such dual-use equipment to particularly sensitive regions, such as the Middle East and Southwest Asia, as well as to countries elsewhere whose activities may have CBW-related implications. The equipment list, which reflects a three-month effort involving extensive consultations with industry, is unprecedented: Never before have U.S. export licenses been required for dual-use, CBW-related equipment. The second regulation expands from eleven to fifty the list of "precursor chemicals" that require an export license. Like dual-use equipment, these chemicals are commonly used in commercial products. But they have also been identified by the Australia Group as key ingredients in the manufacture of chemical weapons. The Australia Group is a multilateral forum of twenty supplier nations (including the United States) committed to restricting the spread of chemical weapons. The United States will now join the growing number of Australia Group members that require a license to export any of the fifty precursor chemicals to any country outside the Group. The third regulation provides additional controls, focused on knowing exports or other support by U.S. firms or individuals for CBW or missile programs abroad. Under its terms, if the U.S. government learns of possible American assistance to such programs, it will be able to intervene to prevent it. This regulation will impose new licensing requirements in the following instances: (1) A U.S. person knows that a proposed export or other assistance is destined for CBW or missile activities in listed regions, countries, or projects; (2) A U.S. person is informed by the U.S. Government that a proposed export or other assistance is destined for CBW or missile activities anywhere in the world; or (3) An export of a whole chemical plant that manufactures any of the 50 chemical precursors, or assistance in designing such a plant, is destined to any country outside the Australia Group. The new restriction on participation by U.S. persons in CW or missile-related projects is similar to export restrictions that already apply to BW- and nuclear-related exports. Civil and criminal penalties may be imposed upon those who breach these controls. The regulations providing controls on dual-use equipment and precursor chemicals already have been the subject of extensive consultations with industry, and will be issued as interim rules. In this form, the regulations will be effective on the date of publication, although they may be modified following the thirty- day public comment period. The third regulation imposing additional controls is being issued as a proposed rule. This regulation will become effective when a final rule is issued, after the close of the thirty-day public comment period. To be truly effective, comparable controls must be applied by all major suppliers. To that end, the Administration is vigorously pursuing multilateral adoption of these new export controls in the Australia Group, the Missile Technology Control Regime, and various international nuclear fora.
