Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 21, p. 671. Written by Thomas F. Gilman.

Act on export controls without waiting for allies

What the document says

“BIS needs to move unilaterally while it works with allies to implement complementary export control policies.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 671

The chapter says waiting to act until allies are ready to move in lockstep is not an option while national security is at risk. It asks for stronger rules against technology transfer to adversaries, for export controls to be used to prevent theft of personal data, and to encourage companies to shift production out of China.

What the document actually says

“BIS needs to move unilaterally while it works with allies to implement complementary export control policies.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 671
That sentence, in plain words

Act alone if needed. Keep working with allies at the same time.

What this is about

Some tech cannot be sold to certain lands. Allies often act as one. The book says America should not wait for them.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
