  OPENING STATEMENT
COCOM had a clearly defined, mutually agreed strategic threat, and addressed that threat by embargoing exports of arms and sensitive dual use items to proscribed destinations.
Our former COCOM partners recognized that responsible national export controls and policies remained indispensable to promote international peace and security in the post-Cold War environment, even though they opposed, and continue to oppose, any COCOM-like control regime not directly related to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their delivery systems.
Despite this broad agreement, it was only through persistent and strong U.S. leadership that COCOM members, eventually with participation by Russia, designed a new multilateral export control regime to address the new challenges posed by regional instability and states whose behavior threatened international security.

 IRIS CoCom meeting action items May 2003
CoCom adopted a preferred procedure in which conflicted individual(s) may be present for general discussions.
CoCom acknowledged that the EandO budget is really only “seed funding” and that vigorous pursuit of additional external funding and establishment of partners outside of IRIS is critical to the success of the program in the absence of increases in the core program budget.
CoCom reviewed the revised PASSCAL instrument use policy and recommended some working changes more explicitly noting that the user will adhere to the Data Delivery Policy and acknowledgement of support and use of the instruments in all publications.

COCOM partners agreed at the June 1 High-Level Meeting to establish such a Cooperative Forum.
COCOM Cooperation Forum The Forum's purpose is to extend our cooperation and dialogue with Russia and other reforming countries to the important area of export controls, as well as to assist these countries in developing effective safeguards regimes of their own.
Telecommunications Liberalization The COCOM partners also agreed to an immediate improvement in the availability of advanced telecommunications equipment to the new states of the former Soviet Union effective July 1, 1992.

 Army Logistician (Who Rules Logistics? Service Versus COCOM Authority)
The first is a memorandum that apportions service forces to COCOMs as determined by the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
I distinguish my discussion of COCOM authority from that found in doctrine because I conclude that doctrine (JP 0–2 and JP 4–0) tends to both “over-functionalize” and dilute the authority inherent to COCOMs.
In fact, by attempting to “functionalize” COCOM authority into a “slice” called DAFL, the broad authority over his assigned forces vested in the CoCOM under 10 USC, Chapter 6, is confused and diluted.

Therefore, the United States will recommend to COCOM the development by the end of 1990 of a new core list of goods and technologies that is far shorter and less restrictive than the present list.
As a result of its evaluation, the United States recommended to its COCOM allies the development of a core list of technologies that need to be controlled to maintain the strategic technological edge that is a key component of our military strength.

While COCOM has had its ups and downs since its creation in 1949, we are now on the verge of determining whether COCOM can take the actions needed to assure Western security in the 1990s or will have to be replaced with something new.
COCOM is an entirely voluntary organization comprised of the NATO members (minus Iceland) and Japan.
Even today, COCOM's headquarters are off-limits to visitors, and COCOM delegates all work under the cover of other organizations in Paris, including embassies and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

CoCom, largely controlled by the United States at its inception (for who else was in a position to argue with us?), formed the basis of export controls for the following four decades.
CoCom enhanced the incentives for each separate government by creating a shared obligation not to exploit opportunities in trade deemed strategic (Mastanduno 1992: 78).
CoCom created three lists of items that were to be closely monitored so that they did not get into the wrong hands.

 AAP Committees
Therefore, COCOM’s mission is to educate AAP members as well as children, adolescents, and those who care for them, about messages regarding and targeting youth.
Since those messages convey to children a perception of their culture and what is expected of them, the committee will – through research, collaboration, advocacy and innovation – evaluate, teach and further messages that promote healthy and successful youth development while reducing health risk.
COCOM began as the Committee on Communications and Public Information in 1970, when an explosion in the number of medical specialists, family physicians and nurse practitioners greatly increased competition for patients.

 Attention, Nuke-Mart Shoppers!
The move to decontrol was made by Cocom, the Coordinating Committee on Multilateral Export Controls, composed of Australia, Japan and all the NATO countries except Iceland.
Cocom also decontrolled spin forming machines (which U.S. officials earlier tried to stop Iraq from getting from Germany) used to make uranium gas centrifuges, as well as vacuum pumps.
Although Cocom is supposed to deny technology only to Communist countries, our European allies have not distinguished between keeping technology away from the Warsaw Pact and keeping it away from Third World bomb makers.

For over 40 years, COCOM, comprised of NATO members (less Iceland) plus Japan and Australia, has maintained a system of export controls to keep key technologies with both military and civilian uses from being used to enhance the military capability of certain countries.
The changes to be implemented by COCOM partners demonstrate the continued relevance of COCOM and its ability to adapt quickly to changing world circumstances.
COCOM partners agreed that individual countries will continue controling goods and technologies dropped from the COCOM list that could contribute to the development of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, and the missiles to deliver them.

 Controls Still Needed on High Technology Exports to the U.S.S.R.
COCOM has used what it calls the standard of strategic significance to determine which technologies should be denied to the Soviet Union and its allies.

 Cocom relaxes - 24 February 1990 - New Scientist
INDUSTRY and academia in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union should soon have access to roughly half of the high-technology goods that were previously banned for export from the West.
Representatives from the Western allies agreed at a meeting in Paris last week of the Co-ordinating Committee for Multinational Export Controls (Cocom) to relax curbs on equipment for the Eastern bloc.
The committee has yet to define exactly which equipment to release from controls, but has decided in principle that this shall include 32-bit microcomputers, very precise machine tools and certain categories of telecommunications equipment.

COCOM was created in 1949 by the United States and the other NATO countries, excluding Iceland and Spain, plus Japan.
Under COCOM, member countries allowed other member countries to veto their export cases that required COCOM approval.
The COCOM members agreed in early 1994 to continue the COCOM controls on a "national discretion" basis after the dissolution of COCOM until a new multilateral mechanism was established.

COCOM performed a comprehensive review of each of the control lists at least every three to four years to reflect technological developments and changes in the ways in which end users could apply technologies.
COCOM also agreed to a reduced "core list" of dual-use items that would be controlled for national security purposes to proscribed countries.
COCOM agreed with this proposal in June 1992, and the COCOM Cooperation Forum held its first meeting in November 1992.

 OPENING STATEMENT
The challenge for the U.S. was to find a way to preserve multilateral controls on exports of industrial equipment, to expand the application of those controls from the Warsaw Pact to a global basis, and obtain multilateral cooperation in preventing future Iraqs from acquiring destabilizing accumulations of conventional arms.
First, we inherited from COCOM a long list of goods to be controlled whose selection had been based on preventing the Soviet Union from improving its weapons and its high-tech industries.
COCOM was a valuable tool for NATO in the Cold War, but it is gone and cannot be resurrected.

COCOMs are not currently resourced to conduct an individual and staff Joint Training Program to ensure the required level of joint capability.
COCOMs receive no funding to conduct joint training for individuals assigned to the Commander’s Battle Staff, the JTF staffs, and their Service Component Command staffs.
Due to the lack of COCOM funding to conduct organic individual and collective staff training, joint exercises, by default, serve as partially effective individual and collective staff training vehicles for the COCOMs, SJFHQs, JTFs and Functional Component Commands, sub-optimizing the desired training outcomes required by COCOM readiness objectives.
