REPORT BY THE



Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Export Control Regulation Could Be

Reduced Without Affecting National

Security



Industry is required to obtain export li-
censes for many more products than is
necessary to protect national security. In
fiscal year 1981, almost 65,000 export
applications were processed but only 1 of
every 17 was carefully examined by the
Government.

GAO found thati

   --Almost half the export license applica-
   tions received each year could be elim-
   inated without affecting national secu-
   rity.

   --There is strong possibility for further
   reducing license requirements to
   close U.S allies.

 On the other hand, some products now
 exempt from license requirements should
 require license approval before export.
 The report also discusses inefficiencies in
 the licensing review process and Govern-
 ment efforts to curtail illegal export activity.
