President's Export Council Subcommittee on Encryption; Notice of 
Recruitment of Private-Sector Members

SUMMARY: The President's Export Council Subcommittee on Encryption 
(PECSENC) advises the U.S. Government on matters and issues pertinent 
to the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended; the Export 
Administration Regulations; and related statutes and regulations on 
policies regarding commercial encryption products. The PECSENC draws on 
the expertise of its members to provide advice and make recommendations 
on ways to minimize the possible adverse impact of commercial 
encryption policy on U.S. industry while protecting U.S. national 
security and fostering U.S. foreign policy goals, including public 
safety of U.S. citizens at home and abroad.
    The PECSENC is composed of high-level representatives from 
business, academia, and law enforcement representing diverse points of 
view on current commercial encryption policies, laws, and regulations.
    PECSENC members are appointed by the Secretary of Commerce and 
serve at the Secretary's discretion. The membership reflects the 
Department's commitment to attaining balance and diversity. PECSENC 
members must obtain secret-level clearances prior to appointment. These 
clearances are necessary so that members can be permitted access to 
relevant classified information needed in formulating recommendations 
to the President and the U.S. Government. The PECSENC meets 4 to 6 
times per year. Members of the Subcommittee will not be compensated for 
their services. The PECSENC is seeking approximately seven private-
sector members with senior expertise in the field of commercial 
encryption policy. Please send a fact sheet on your firm and a resume. 
We will use these documents to determine your activity in the area of 
concern. Materials may be faxed to the number below.
    Deadline: This request will be open for 15 days from date of 
publication in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lee Ann Carpenter on (202) 482-
2583. Materials may be faxed to [phone], to the attention of Ms. 
Lee Ann Carpenter.

    Dated: August 14, 1998.
R. Roger Majak,
