President's Export Council Subcommittee on Export Administration;

Notice of Recruitment of Private-Sector Members

SUMMARY: The President's Export Council Subcommittee on Export

Administration (PECSEA) advises the U.S. Government on matters and

issues pertinent to implementation of the provisions of the Export

Administration Act and the Export Administration Regulations, as

amended, and related statutes and regulations. These issues relate to

U.S. export controls as mandated by law for national security, foreign

policy, non-proliferation, and short supply reasons. The PECSEA draws

on the expertise of its members to provide advice and make

recommendations on ways to minimize the possible adverse impact export

controls may have on U.S. industry. The PECSEA provides the Government

with direct input from representatives of the broad range of industries

that are directly affected by export controls.

The PECSEA is composed of high-level industry and Government

members representing diverse points of view on the concerns of the

business community. PECSEA industry representatives are selected from

firms producing a broad range of goods, technologies, and software

presently controlled for national security, foreign policy, non-

proliferation, and short supply reasons or that are proposed for such

controls, balanced to the extent possible among large and small firms.

PECSEA members are appointed by the Secretary of Commerce and serve

at the Secretary's discretion. The membership reflects the Department's

commitment to attaining balance and diversity. PECSEA members must

obtain secret-level clearances prior to appointment. These clearances

are necessary so that members can be permitted access to relevant

classified information needed in formulating recommendations to the

President and the U.S. Government. The PECSEA meets 4 to 6 times per

year. Members of the Subcommittee will not be compensated for their

services. The PECSEA is seeking approximately three private-sector

members with senior control expertise and direct experience in one or

more of the following industries: machine tools, semiconductors,

commercial communication satellites, high performance computers,

telecommunications, aircraft, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Please

send a short biographical sketch on the individual who wishes to become

a candidate. The material may be faxed to the number below.

DEADLINE: This request will be open for 15 days from date of

publication in the Federal Register.
