the authority of 22 U.S.C. Sections 2651a and 2656 and the Federal

be to discuss current defense trade issues and topics for further 
study. The following agenda topics will be discussed and final reports 
presented: (1) Review Consent Agreements from the past eight years and 
identify additional compliance remedial measures and/or areas for 
possible improvement to compliance programs for purposes of enhancing 
the effectiveness of remedial measures prescribed in future consent 
agreements. (2) Evaluate authorizations involving third party 
technical/proprietary data, provide industry perceptions/problems, and 
where appropriate make recommendations for improvements; and provide 
any concerns industry has with other parties exporting or re-exporting 
their technical data or intellectual property without their knowledge, 
and provide recommendations. (3) Identify current challenges with 
participation in established international cooperative programs and 
other arrangements; and recommend potential solutions that would reduce 
licensing challenges and enhance collaboration among the industrial 
bases of the participating nations, while preserving the critical task 
of protecting U.S. technology. Members of the public may attend this 
open session and will be permitted to participate in the question and 
answer discussion period following the formal DTAG presentation on each
