		<description><![CDATA[Last week, in his speech before the Ex-Im Bank, President Obama provided some details about the specific export control reforms which might be in the offing.  The first relates to our ludicrously archaic and burdensome system of encryption controls.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday the Office of Federal Assets Control (&#8220;OFAC&#8221;) published a notice in the Federal Register that reversed, at least temporarily, the absurd interpretation that it had adopted of the statutory requirement in the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act (&#8220;TSRA&#8221;) that exports of agricultural and medical goods to Cuba required &#8220;payment of cash in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Government Accountability Office released a report last Thursday on the Iran Sanctions and there is, you might say, good news, bad news and old news in the report.
First, the good news.   The GAO&#8217;s audit of the licensing process of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (&#8220;OFAC&#8221;) found that all of the licenses [...]]]></description>
