[Cox Report Recommendations] 4. The Select Committee recommends that the U.S. take appropriate action to improve the sharing of information by nations that are major exporters of technology so that the U.S. can track movements of technology and enforce technology control and re-export requirements. (Recommendation 12)
Support. Eliminating national discretion would help to increase the exchange of information among major exporters of technology since it would reduce the uncertainty associated with different countries' interpretations of the rules. A credible threat of downgrading a country's tiering may deter the reexport threat. The International Arrangements section encourages information sharing and requires progress reports to Congress, but it is difficult to legislate achievable milestones.
