Congress passed specific legislation encouraging technology transfer
in 1980. Since then, Congress has continued to strengthen technology transfer
through additional pieces of legislation. The White House has also initiated new
programs emphasizing the transfer of technology to stimulate the economy and to
improve the international competitiveness of American industry.
