The explosive expansion of high technology internationally threatens the United States with a nettlesome problem now and in the decade to come.
Abstract
The Soviet Union has increased its espionage to steal high-tech secrets in order to increase its military strength while bolstering a shaky economy. A major national concern is how to protect national security without damaging research and development of new technologies. This paper examines the motivations of the Soviets, current U.S. efforts to combat this threat, and some measures to deal with illegal technology transfers. (Publisher abstract)
