     level, would be subject to section 1211 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (50 U.S.C. 
     App. 2404 note).
       (c) Adjustment of Composite Theoretical Performance Levels 
     for Post-shipment Verification.--Section 1213 of the National

     controlled technologies and items.
       (b) Recommendations for Executive Department Approvals for 
     Exports of Greatest National Security Concern.--With respect 
     to controlled technologies and items identified under 
     subsection (a), the President shall submit to Congress the
