Rein on Technology
Technology transfer overseas and U. S. protectionism at home may be separate issues to Americans, but they are becoming intermingled in the minds of allies. Britain’s Defense Procurement Minister, Geoffrey Pattie, dealt most diplomatically with the subject in a public appearance in Washington during his recent visit, but it was plain enough that the changes in policy by the Reagan Administration on technology transfer and protectionist legislation by Congress over Administration objections are assuming a unified fabric of their own in the rest of NATO.
