PART II—MULTILATERAL EXPORT CONTROL ENHANCEMENT SEC. 2441. SHORT TITLE.
This part may be cited as the "Multilateral Export Control Enhancement Amendments Act". SEC. 2442. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings: (1) The diversion of advanced milling machinery to the Soviet Union by the Toshiba Machine Company and Kongsberg Trading Company has had a serious impact on United States and Western security interests. (2) United States and Western security is undermined without the cooperation of the governments and nationals of all countries participating in the group known as the Coordinating Committee (heresrfter in this part referred to as "COCOM") in enforcing the COCOM agreement. (3) It is the responsibility of all governments participating in COCOM to place in effect strong national security export control laws, to license strategic exports carefully, and to enforce those export control laws strictly, since the COCOM system is only as strong as the national laws and enforcement on which it is based. (4) It is also important for corporations to implement effective internal control systems to ensure compliance with export control laws. (5) In order to protect United States national security, the United States must take steps to ensure the compliance of foreign companies with COCOM controls, including, where necessary conditions have been met, the imposition of sanctions against violators of controls commensurate with the severity of the violation.
