THOMPSON ANNOUNCES HEARING ON
DUAL-USE AND MUNITIONS LIST EXPORT CONTROL PROCESSES
In August 1998, Senator Thompson and the Governmental Affairs Committee requested the Inspectors General of six government agencies, including DOE, to conduct an interagency investigation of the licensing process for dual-use items and munitions. Specifically, the Inspector General will address deficiencies in the exchange agreements which bring foreign national scientists to DOE weapons labs.
The Department of Energy Inspector General is the first office to complete their portion of this investigation; their findings in this regard will be the subject of the June 10 hearing.
Witnesses will include officials from the Office of the Inspector General at the Department of Energy.
