bureaucratic reWASHINGTON gulators and — presidents have combined to provide the Soviet Union with sophisticated militarily useful machinery from our technological arsenal The workings of this incredible triple whammy were described a few weeks ago to the House Armed Services Committee in secret testimony by Larry Brady who was then the acting director of the Commerce Department’s export office Some years ago remembering Pearl Harbor and the US scrap iron that had helped to build the Japanese war machine Congress passed a law designed to ban the sale of “sensitive” products that could be converted to military use by our communist adversaries Several thousand items on the “Commodity Control List” can be exported supposedly only after careful review and approval by federal watchdogs detente-smitte- n TOTAL SHAMBLES' But Brady told the House committee bluntly: “The export control system as it is today is a total shambles” The safeguards written into the regulations are “not worth the paper they’re written on” he said For example before the Russians can get permission to purchase certain products they must sign a statement that they won’t use the American-mad- e hardware for military purwe wouldn’t approve it” “Otherwise poses Brady explained But sources told our associate Dale Van Atta that there is no effective way to make sure the Soviets live up to their promise Instead the Commerce Department relies on the fox to guard the henhouse onsite inspections are made by representatives of the US companies that sold the products Not only are but these employees often a for have motive strong ignoring any they Soviet violations Explained Brady: “The company wants to sell more and he knows very well that if he reports a diversion (to military use) he’s not going to be able to sell non-America- ns more” For the same selfish reason American company executives are unlikely to squeal on their customers another Commerce Department ofs ficial told us “Unless they’re they have a very large stake in not informing” he said super-patriot- TRUCK PLANT Yet sources told us it can be assumed anything that can be used for military purposes will be put to such use by the Russians Brady cited one example to the committee: the huge Soviet truck plant on the Kama River largest of its kind in the world It was built with some $500 million worth of American designs tools and computers Brady testified that he had recently confirmed the use of the Kama River plant to make military vehicles and parts “The file indicates that we knew at the time the license was made at the White House in 1974 that they would manufacture more engines than trucks” he said Another top official told us “Any reasonable individual knew then that the extra engines and other things would go to the military” Despite objections on this score of State Henry Kissinger approved the sale Computers are the source of the most intense controversy “For all practical purposes when you export a computer you lose control over it” Brady explained There is he said “no real way” it can be determined whether a computer has been diverted to military use But last year President Carter aproved the sale of a large plant for producing oil drill bits and the plant includes a computer One congressman expressed concern over the sale of computers in a fully automated traffic-contrsystem for Kova
