SATELLITE EXPORT CONTROLS
Committee on Governmental Affairs: Subcommittee on International 
Security, Proliferation, and Federal Services concluded hearings to 
examine whether the Department of Commerce commercial satellite export 
control policy and process toward China is adequate to prevent 
technology transfers which pose a threat to United States security, 
after receiving testimony from John D. Holum, Acting Under Secretary of 
State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs; William A. 
Reinsch, Under Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration; and 
Frank W. Miller, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense.

[Note: According to Julie Sander no testimony was presented at the
hearing. Chair Senator Cochran distributed charts and documents. Three
of the documents (15 pp.) describe Hughes Aircraft Company's 1992-93 
application for commercial satellite export license and conditions for 
transfer of data and technology. Copies Hughes' November 30, 1992 request
(9 pp.) and a Commerce response (2 pp.) are poor but are being transcribed.
See the third (4 pp.) describing concerns of the Department of Defense.
