• The procedures by which missile technology exports are

approved are not available to the public. It is widely assumed
that at least the Department of State reviews and approves these
sensitive exports. However, the Department of Commerce
approved at least six exports that appear to be on the missile
technology list with no external review. In one case (B373514),
the Commerce Department approved over a million dollars'
worth of compasses, gyroscopes, and accelerometers without
consulting either the State or Defense Departments. All items in
category 1485 are missile items and should have been referred
to the State Department.
