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 clearance prior to appointment. These clearance 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 eight private-sector
members with senior export 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 fact sheet on your company that details your activity in the
areas listed above, as well as a short biographical sketch on the
individual who wishes to become a candidate. Materials may be faxed to
the number below.

DEADLINE: This request will be open for 15 days from date of
publication in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lee Ann Carpenter on (202) 482-
