U.S. policy on encryption and will provide an overview of the 
interim rule published December 30, 1996, including license exception

revisions based on the Administration's initiative to promote the use 
of strong encryption by U.S. banks and financial institutions and

The September 11 program will be 1/2 day Encryption Seminar and 1/2
day Export Management System Seminar. (See the encryption page [above] 
for a description of the encryption seminar.) 

An Export Management System (EMS) is an optional program companies may 
consider establishing to ensure that their exports and export decisions 
are consistent with the Export Administration Regulations. At this 
half-day session, Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) representatives 
will provide information on developing export management elements, 
including a Statement of Corporate Policy Commitment, Identifying Export 
Control Personnel, Record keeping, Training, Internal Compliance Reviews, 
and Non-Compliance Notification. Discussion will include how to develop 
various Screening Elements, such as Denied Persons, Diversion-Risk, 
Proliferation, and Product Classification/License Determination Screens. 
BXA will also discuss a sample order processing system and highlight 
suggestions for placement of the screens at key critical points within 
the order process. For those who are just beginning to think about 
developing an EMS, the sessions will end with tips on how to get started.
