    The activities of the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) are
designed to enforce U.S. export trade laws consistent with national
security, foreign policy, and short supply objectives. The program
strives to achieve a balance between the interests of U.S. exporters,
the U.S. economy and U.S. national security requirements.

    Management and policy coordination.--The management and policy
coordination program controls the development, analysis, coordination,
and consolidation of policy initiatives and responses within the BXA.
Under BXA's nonproliferation and export control cooperation mission, BXA
works directly with government leaders in the Newly Independent States
(NIS) to develop effective controls on their strategic commodities and
data.

    Export administration.--The export administration program assures
that export activity is consistent with national security and foreign
policy requirements. An increase is requested to administer and enforce
the complex inspection and reporting requirements imposed on commercial
chemical manufacturing facilities under the Chemical Weapons Convention
(CWC). An increase is requested for the administration of a new and
complex Presidential initiative to encourage the use of strong
encryption in electronic commerce and private communication while
protecting the public safety and national security.

    Export enforcement.--The export enforcement program detects and
prevents the illegal distribution of controlled U.S. goods and technical
data in violation of the export administration provisions of the U.S.
Code. Responsibilities also include enforcement of prohibitions against
participating in unsanctioned boycotts against countries friendly to the
United States. The program enforces the Fastener Quality Act and U.S.
obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention; and implements
counterterrorism initiatives as they relate to strategic goods.
