Dear Friends:

On 10/20/95, Doug Clarke wrote in the OMRI Daily Digest I about the
announcement of President Clinton's new computer export policy. According
to Mr. Clarke this new policy divides the world into four (4) country
groups, ranging from group A (having no restrictions on computer export) to
group D ("a virtual embargo on computer export").

Could someone out there familiar with US/Russian trade relations explain to
the rest of us on the list why the Russian Federation and all of the other
FSU republics were placed in the "c" group? What effect will this have on
US manufacturers of information technology products attempting to expand
their markets to Eastern Europe? Will this "crash" any current ventures
already in place or, conversely, enhance trade opportunities for US
businesses?

One final question, one of the sys admin types here at the office was
asking me whether there was a market for refurbished 80286/80386 computers
and peripherals in the FSU? Could anyone on the ground there help me out in
answering his query?

vsevo khoroshevo,
