Excerpt
Excerpt: In light of the September 2001 terror attacks, you had asked us to examine the Department of Commerce?s Bureau of Industry and Security?s (BIS) dual-use export control system. We reported our findings in a June 26, 2006, report. saying that BIS has not systematically evaluated the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the dual-use export control system. Specifically, we reported that BIS has not conducted comprehensive analyses of available data about items that have actually been exported from the United States. We made several recommendations in that report, including that Commerce should use the available data to evaluate the system?s effectiveness. Because we had difficulty obtaining data on actual exports from Commerce, we were unable to provide you with specific details about these data in time for our June 2006 report. We have since obtained the data and are now transmitting to you our analysis of the data for 2004 and 2005.
