The document is a reference memo regarding the successor to COCOM (Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls) and the inclusion of atomic energy items in the new arrangements. The memo includes a list of items supplied by the State Department that they wish to see included in the "side agreement" concerning highly sensitive items that should not be supplied to Russia and other sensitive destinations.

The author questions whether the inclusion of nuclear-related items in this side agreement duplicates efforts in the nuclear non-proliferation context and seeks views on the matter. The response is requested by a specified date, and it is noted that the list was provided in confidence.

The attached list includes various technologies, equipment, and components related to stealth technology, hot section technology, information security, avionics, advanced sensors, marine technology, advanced munitions, and sensitive nuclear-related applications. Each category specifies items that are deemed highly sensitive and subject to export control.

The memo is addressed to Mr. Thompson and includes a copy to Mr. Lowenn.
