Group Pushes New Computer Export Policy

Export

A Clinton administration interagency working group has forwarded to the White House its recommendations on making further changes to the government's rules over the export of high performance computers. The working group, made up of officials from such agencies as the Commerce, State and Defense Departments, sent the recommendation last month, according to Commerce Undersecretary for Export Administration William Reinsch. When the administration announced in July it would loosen controls on computer export controls, officials promised to re-examine the rules in six months and make any necessary changes.
