What the document says

“Industry and Security (BIS) should be streamlined and moved to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR)”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 664

The Bureau of Industry and Security administers export controls on sensitive technology. The chapter lists this among the structural changes the next President should consider, alongside consolidating other trade programs and considering whether many of them should exist federally at all.

What the document actually says

“Industry and Security (BIS) should be streamlined and moved to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR)”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 664
That sentence, in plain words

Slim down the export control bureau. Move it to the trade office.

What this is about

One bureau decides what technology may be sold abroad. The book says it should move to the trade office.

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.
