Under Secretary for Export Administration Walks Export Tightrope
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published an article yesterday entitled "Former Ariba president walks export tightrope" describing Under Secretary for Export Administration David McCormick's role in balancing the interests of U.S. firms seeking to sell their products abroad while trying to ensure that controlled U.S. technology does not fall into the wrong hands. McCormick was in Pittsburgh for a meeting with the Pittsburgh Technology Council. During his speech.
Separately, the Pittsburgh Tribune Review reports that McCormick said that the U.S. government has not conducted a national security review of the proposed sale of Westinghouse Electric Company to Japan's Toshiba Corp. However, he left open the possibility that such a review could take place. Westinghouse provides fuel, services, technology, plant design and equipment for the commercial nuclear electric power industry.
