Export Controls: Issues Related to Commercial Communications Satellites

Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date June 10, 1998
Report No. T-NSIAD-98-208
Subject
Summary:

In the wake of allegations that a major U.S. satellite manufacturer gave China sensitive technologies with possible applications to its missile programs, GAO testified on the system that governs the licensing of exports with possible military uses. GAO found that regardless of which of the two agencies responsible for licensing communication satellites grants an export license, it is a matter of managing risks. However, by design, the Commerce Department places great weight on economic and commercial outcomes, while the State Department emphasizes foreign policy implications, lessening--but not eliminating--the threat to U.S. national security interests.
