NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20S65 February 27, 1989 CHAIRMAN -
-The Honorable Paul Freedenberg Under Secretary!for Export Administration Room 38988 U.S. Department of Commerce Washington, D. C.
20230
Dear Mr. Freedenberg:
I have received your lecters'of February 16, 1989, in which you note your-intention to grant licenses for the export of supercomputers to Brazil and Israel unless the NRC has a convincing argument otherwise.
You indicated that the
. interagency Subgroup-on Nuclear Export Coordination (SNEC)-has been unable to reach'a consensus, either for approval or denial of the applications.
While NRC is concerned about the-potential proliferation implications of all proposed exports' reviewed by the SNEC, we defer to the views of the other SNEC agencies on matters'such as computer export applications for non-nuclear end uses in-
- view of NRC's lack of special expertise in these areas.
Accordingly, the Commission takes no formal position.of approval or denial on these cases ano defers to the-consensus of-the Executive Branch agencies.
Sincerely, N
Lando W. Z h,
