On Friday last week, U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Mark R. Warner (D-VA) — both members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence — introduced a bill to establish a new Office of Critical Technologies and Security. The purpose of this Office purpose would be “to stop the transfer of critical emerging, foundational, and dual-use technologies to countries that pose a national security risk”; and “to maintain United States technological leadership… and ensure supply chain integrity and security for such technologies”.
