BSA Urges Commerce Secretary to Support the Work of Subagencies
NextGov/FCW
By Alexandra Kelley The Department of Commerce should take steps to enable the work of its sub-agencies to help support the agency’s broader technology and trade posture, the Business Software Alliance wrote to Secretary Howard Lutnick Monday.
In a letter shared with Nextgov/FCW and publicly released Tuesday, BSA CEO Victoria Espinel outlined five recommendations that Commerce can undertake to advance U.S. technology businesses and endeavours. They included strengthening the role of subagencies, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
“The Commerce Department’s leadership in this debate will be instrumental to bringing allies toward a consistent approach that gives American companies fair access to global markets while protecting and advancing US technology leadership,” Espinel wrote.
