Director of Defense Trade Controls Licensing Issues Letter to Defense Export Community
In what hopefully will be a positive development for exporters of defense articles and services, on October 27, 2006, Susan Clark, the Director of Defense Trade Controls Licensing (DTCL), issued a letter to the Defense Export Community promising "extraordinary measures to process the vast majority of . . . license applications and agreements by January 2007."
The letter notes that "all available personnel within" the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) "are dedicated to the successful completion of this goal" and that "licensing officers will continue to focus entirely on processing applications." To accomplish this goal, "routine activities such as training, meetings, and outreach events will be minimized during this period."
The letter says that all licensing inquiries should be directed to DDTC's Response Team, rather to licensing officers.
