FOREIGN POLICY CONTROLS.

SEC. 2423. FOREIGN POLICY CONTROLS. (a) Diplomatic Alternatives.—Section 6(a) of the Act (50 U.S.C. 2405(a)) is amended by adding at the end the following: “(6) Before imposing, expanding, or extending export controls under this section on exports to a country which can use goods, 102 STAT. 1359technology, or information available from foreign sources and so incur little or no economic costs as a result of the controls, the President should, through diplomatic means, employ alternatives to export controls which offer opportunities of distinguishing the United States from, and expressing the displeasure of the United States with, the specific actions of that country in response to which the controls are proposed. Such alternatives include private discussions with foreign leaders, public statements in situations where private diplomacy is unavailable or not effective, withdrawal of ambassadors, and reduction of the size of the diplomatic staff that the country involved is permitted to have in the United States.”. (b) Spark Parts.—Section 6 of the Act (50 U.S.C. App. 2405) is amended by adding at the end the following: “(p) Spark Parts.—(1) At the same time as the President imposes or expands export controls under this section, the President shall determine whether such export controls will apply to replacement parts for parts in goods subject to such export controls. “(2) With respect to export controls imposed under this section before the date of the enactment of this subsection, an individual validated export license shall not be required for replacement parts which are exported to replace on a one-for-one basis parts that were in a good that was lawfully exported from the United States, unless the President determines that such a license should be required for such parts.”.
