Chairman Royce on the hearing: “As technology advances, U.S. export controls must do the same. This hearing is an opportunity to examine the bipartisan legislation I’ve introduced to modernize our regulatory control system – making it more efficient and transparent – so we can better address the threat foreign adversaries pose to our national security in today’s digital age.”
