The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 20001 requires the President to submit to Congress an annual report to include, as a minimum, an audit by the Inspectors General of the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Energy, and State of the policies and procedures of the United States (US) Government with respect to the export of technologies and technical information with potential military applications to countries and entities of concern. The first annual report was to include “an assessment by the Inspectors General2 . . . of the adequacy of . . .counterintelligence measures to protect against the acquisition by
countries and entities of concern of United States technology and
technical information . . . .” An interagency working group,
comprised of representatives from the Offices of Inspector General
of Commerce, Defense, Energy, State, the Treasury, and the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), as well as the Inspection
Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, was established to
conduct the assessment regarding the adequacy of counterintelligence measures.
