CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS

Section 4101 of Pub. L. 102-484 provided that: ''Congress makes

the following findings:

''(1) The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the

dissolution of the Soviet Union have fundamentally changed the

military threat that formed the basis for the national security

policy of the United States since the end of World War II.

''(2) The change in the military threat presents a unique

opportunity to restructure and reduce the military requirements

of the United States.

''(3) As the United States proceeds with the post-Cold War

defense build down, the Nation must recognize and address the

impact of reduced defense spending on the military personnel,

civilian employees, and defense industry workers who have been

the foundation of the national defense policies of the United

States.

''(4) The defense build down will have a significant impact on

communities as procurements are reduced and military

installations are closed and realigned.

''(5) Despite the changes in the military threat, the United

States must maintain the capability to respond to regional

conflicts that threaten the national interests of the United

States, and to reconstitute forces in the event of an extended

conflict.

''(6) The skills and capabilities of military personnel,

civilian employees of the Department of Defense, defense industry

workers, and defense industries represent an invaluable national

resource that can contribute to the economic growth of the United

States and to the long-term vitality of the national technology

and industrial base.

''(7) Prompt and vigorous implementation of defense conversion,

reinvestment, and transition assistance programs is essential to

ensure that the defense build down is structured in a manner that

-

''(A) enhances the long-term ability of the United States to

maintain a strong and vibrant national technology and

industrial base; and

''(B) promotes economic growth.''

Sec. 2511. Defense dual-use critical technology program

-STATUTE-

(a) Establishment of Program. - The Secretary of Defense shall

conduct a program to further the national security objectives set

forth in section 2501(a) of this title by encouraging and providing

for research, development, and application of dual-use critical

technologies. The Secretary may make grants, enter into contracts,

or enter into cooperative agreements and other transactions

pursuant to section 2371 of this title in furtherance of the

program. The Secretary shall identify projects to be conducted as

part of the program.

(b) Assistance Authorized. - The Secretary of Defense may provide

technical and other assistance to facilitate the achievement of the

purposes of projects conducted under the program. In providing

such assistance, the Secretary shall make available, as appropriate

for the work to be performed, equipment and facilities of

Department of Defense laboratories (including the scientists and

engineers at those laboratories) for purposes of projects selected

by the Secretary.

(c) Financial Commitment of Non-Federal Government Participants.

- (1) The total amount of funds provided by the Federal Government

for a project conducted under the program may not exceed 50 percent

of the total cost of the project. However, the Secretary of

Defense may agree to a project in which the total amount of funds

provided by the Federal Government exceeds 50 percent if the

Secretary determines the project is particularly meritorious, but

the project would not otherwise have sufficient non-Federal funding

or in-kind contributions.

(2) The Secretary may prescribe regulations to provide for

consideration of in-kind contributions by non-Federal Government

participants in a project conducted under the program for the

purpose of calculating the share of the project costs that has been

or is being undertaken by such participants. In such regulations,

the Secretary may authorize a participant that is a small business

concern to use funds received under the Small Business Innovation

Research Program or the Small Business Technology Transfer Program

to help pay the costs of project activities. Any such funds so

used may be considered in calculating the amount of the financial

commitment undertaken by the non-Federal Government participants

unless the Secretary determines that the small business concern has

not made a significant equity percentage contribution in the

project from non-Federal sources.

(3) The Secretary shall consider a project proposal submitted by

a small business concern without regard to the ability of the small

business concern to immediately meet its share of the anticipated

project costs. Upon the selection of a project proposal submitted

by a small business concern, the small business concern shall have

a period of not less than 120 days in which to arrange to meet its

financial commitment requirements under the project from sources

other than a person of a foreign country. If the Secretary

determines upon the expiration of that period that the small

business concern will be unable to meet its share of the

anticipated project costs, the Secretary shall revoke the selection

of the project proposal submitted by the small business concern.

(d) Selection Process. - Competitive procedures shall be used in

the conduct of the program.

(e) Selection Criteria. - The criteria for the selection of

projects under the program shall include the following:

(1) The extent to which the proposed project advances and

enhances the national security objectives set forth in section

2501(a) of this title.

(2) The technical excellence of the proposed project.

(3) The qualifications of the personnel proposed to participate

in the research activities of the proposed project.

(4) An assessment of timely private sector investment in

activities to achieve the goals and objectives of the proposed

project other than through the project.

(5) The potential effectiveness of the project in the further

development and application of each technology proposed to be

developed by the project for the national technology and

industrial base.

(6) The extent of the financial commitment of eligible firms to

the proposed project.

(7) The extent to which the project does not unnecessarily

duplicate projects undertaken by other agencies.

(f) Regulations. - The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe

regulations for the purposes of this section.

-STATUTE-

(a) Considerations in Making and Implementing MOUs and Related

Agreements. - In the negotiation, renegotiation, and implementation

of any existing or proposed memorandum of understanding, or any

existing or proposed agreement related to a memorandum of

understanding, between the Secretary of Defense, acting on behalf

of the United States, and one or more foreign countries (or any

instrumentality of a foreign country) relating to research,

development, or production of defense equipment, or to the

reciprocal procurement of defense items, the Secretary of Defense

shall -

(1) consider the effects of such existing or proposed

memorandum of understanding or related agreement on the defense

technology and industrial base of the United States; and

(2) regularly solicit and consider comments and recommendations

from the Secretary of Commerce with respect to the commercial

implications of such memorandum of understanding or related

agreement and the potential effects of such memorandum of

understanding or related agreement on the international

competitive position of United States industry.

(b) Inter-Agency Review of Effects on United States Industry. -

Whenever the Secretary of Commerce has reason to believe that an

existing or proposed memorandum of understanding or related

agreement has, or threatens to have, a significant adverse effect

on the international competitive position of United States

industry, the Secretary may request an inter-agency review of the

memorandum of understanding or related agreement. If, as a result

of the review, the Secretary determines that the commercial

interests of the United States are not being served or would not be

served by adhering to the terms of such existing memorandum or

related agreement or agreeing to such proposed memorandum or

related agreement, as the case may be, the Secretary shall

recommend to the President the renegotiation of the existing

memorandum or related agreement or any modification to the proposed

memorandum of understanding or related agreement that he considers

necessary to ensure an appropriate balance of interests.

(c) Limitation on Entering into MOUs and Related Agreements. - A

memorandum of understanding or related agreement referred to in

subsection (a) may not be entered into or implemented if the

President, taking into consideration the results of the

inter-agency review, determines that such memorandum of

understanding or related agreement has or is likely to have a

significant adverse effect on United States industry that outweighs

the benefits of entering into or implementing such memorandum or

agreement.

comprehensive policy with respect to contractual offset

arrangements in connection with the purchase of defense equipment

or supplies which addresses the following:

(1) Transfer of technology in connection with offset

arrangements.

(2) Application of offset arrangements, including cases in

which United States funds are used to finance the purchase by a

foreign government.

(3) Effects of offset arrangements on specific subsectors of

may enter into a memorandum of understanding or other agreement

with a foreign government that would require the transfer of United

States defense technology to a foreign country or a foreign firm in

connection with a contract that is subject to an offset arrangement

if the implementation of such memorandum or agreement would

significantly and adversely affect the defense industrial base of

the United States and would result in a substantial financial loss

to a United States firm.

(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply in the case of a memorandum of

understanding or agreement described in paragraph (1) if the

Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of

Commerce and the Secretary of State, determines that a transfer of

United States defense technology pursuant to such understanding or

agreement will result in strengthening the national security of the

United States and so certifies to Congress.

(3) If a United States firm is required under the terms of a

memorandum of understanding, or other agreement entered into by the

United States with a foreign country, to transfer defense

technology to a foreign country, the United States firm may protest

the determination to the Secretary of Defense on the grounds that

the transfer of such technology would adversely affect the defense

industrial base of the United States and would result in

substantial financial loss to the protesting firm. The Secretary

of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce and the

Secretary of State, shall make the final determination of the

validity of the protesting firm's claim.

(c) Notification Regarding Offsets. - If at any time a United

States firm enters into a contract for the sale of a weapon system

or defense-related item to a foreign country or foreign firm and

such contract is subject to an offset arrangement exceeding

$50,000,000 in value, such firm shall notify the Secretary of

Defense of the proposed sale. Notification shall be made under

this subsection in accordance with regulations prescribed by the

Secretary of Defense in consultation with the Secretary of

Commerce.

(d) Definitions. - In this section:

(1) The term ''United States firm'' means a business entity

that performs substantially all of its manufacturing, production,

and research and development activities in the United States.

(2) The term ''foreign firm'' means a business entity other

than a United States firm.

CONTRACTUAL OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS; CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENT OF

FINDINGS

Section 825(a) of Pub. L. 100-456 provided that: ''Congress makes

the following findings:

''(1) Many contracts entered into by United States firms for

the supply of weapon systems or defense-related items to foreign

countries and foreign firms are subject to contractual

arrangements under which United States firms must agree -

''(A) to have a specified percentage of work under, or

monetary amount of, the contract performed by one or more

foreign firms;

''(B) to purchase a specified amount or quantity of unrelated

goods or services from domestic sources of such foreign

countries; or

''(C) to invest a specified amount in domestic businesses of

such foreign countries.

Such contractual arrangements, known as 'offsets', are a

component of international trade and could have an impact on

United States defense industry opportunities in domestic and

foreign markets.

''(2) Some United States contractors and subcontractors may be

adversely affected by such contractual arrangements.

''(3) Many contracts which provide for or are subject to offset

arrangements require, in connection with such arrangements, the

transfer of United States technology to foreign firms.

''(4) The use of such transferred technology by foreign firms

in conjunction with foreign trade practices permitted under the

trade policies of the countries of such firms can give foreign

firms a competitive advantage against United States firms in

world markets for products using such technology.

''(5) A purchase of defense equipment pursuant to an offset

arrangement may increase the cost of the defense equipment to the

purchasing country and may reduce the amount of defense equipment

that a country may purchase.

''(6) The exporting of defense equipment produced in the United

States is important to maintain the defense industrial base of

the United States, lower the unit cost of such equipment to the

Department of Defense, and encourage the standardized utilization

of United States equipment by the allies of the United States.''

NEGOTIATIONS WITH COUNTRIES REQUIRING OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS

Section 825(c) of Pub. L. 100-456, as amended by Pub. L. 101-189,

div. A, title VIII, Sec. 816, Nov. 29, 1989, 103 Stat. 1501,

provided that:

''(1) The President shall enter into negotiations with foreign

countries that have a policy of requiring an offset arrangement in

connection with the purchase of defense equipment or supplies from

the United States. The negotiations should be conducted with a view

to achieving an agreement with the countries concerned that would

limit the adverse effects that such arrangements have on the

defense industrial base of each such country. Every effort shall

be made to achieve such agreements within two years after September

29, 1988.

''(2) In the negotiation or renegotiation of any memorandum of

understanding between the United States and one or more foreign

countries relating to the reciprocal procurement of defense

equipment and supplies or research and development, the President

shall make every effort to achieve an agreement with the country or

countries concerned that would limit the adverse effects that

offset arrangements have on the defense industrial base of the

United States.''

arrangements required of United States firms for the supply of

weapon systems or defense-related items to foreign countries or

foreign firms. Such report shall include, at a minimum, the
