This document is the written testimony of Patricia Cooper, President of the Satellite Industry Association, before the House Foreign Affairs Committee regarding export control reform. In 3 sentences: Ms. Cooper argues that current laws requiring all satellites and related items to be regulated as munitions regardless of technological sensitivity have undermined national security and competitiveness.
