Establishes an Office of Strategic Trade as an independent executive agency which shall be headed by a Director of Strategic Trade whom the President shall appoint with the advice and consent of the Senate. Requires the Director to act as chairman of the Interagency Advisory Committee for Export Policy. Establishes within the Office of the Director of the Office of Strategic Trade an Exporter Services Facility to act as liaison with the business community. Sets forth as the principal divisions of the Office of Strategic Trade the: (1) Operations Division; (2) Compliance Division; (3) CoCom Division, which shall carry out functions relating to the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (CoCom); (4) Licensing Division; and (5) General Counsel's office. Authorizes the Director to require any of the following types of licenses: (1) a validated license, authorizing a specified export issued pursuant to application; (2) a qualified general license, authorizing multiple exports issued pursuant to application; (3) a general license, authorizing exports without application; and (4) such other licenses as may assist in the implementation of this Act. Requires the Director to establish a commodity control list consisting of any goods or technology subject to export controls under this Act. Prohibits the imposition of export controls on goods or technology for foreign policy or national security reasons if the President determines that adequate evidence has been presented to show that: (1) comparable goods or technology are available from foreign sources without restriction in significant quantities; and (2) the absence of such controls would not be detrimental to the foreign policy or national security of the United States. Declares that no authority or permission to export may be required under this Act except to carry out the policies set forth in this Act. Authorizes the President to delegate the authority conferred on the President by this Act. Requires the Director to keep the public informed of changes in export control policy and procedures instituted in conformity with this Act. Authorizes the President, in order to carry out the national security export control policy, to impose export controls on any goods or technology subject to U.S. jurisdiction or exported by any person subject to U.S. jurisdiction.

Requires the Director to publish in the Federal Register a notice of any revision with respect to any goods or technology, or with respect to the countries or destinations affected by national security export controls. Requires the Director to notify an applicant whenever the Director denies an export license for national security reasons. Requires the Director, in issuing regulations to carry out national security controls, to emphasize: (1) safeguards to prevent a country that poses a threat to U.S. security from diverting covered goods and technologies to military use; and (2) the need to prevent the reexport of such goods and technologies to countries that pose a threat to U.S. security. Declares that U.S. policy toward individual countries shall not be determined solely on the basis of a country's communist or noncommunist status. Sets forth other factors to be considered.

Requires the Director to approve any application for a validated license for the export of goods or technology to a country which meets the application requirements if the Director determines that sufficiently comparable goods or technology are available from foreign sources. Requires a finding of foreign availability to be based on reliable evidence (uncorroborated representations by license applicants are not sufficient). Declares that a technology or good subject to national security export controls which is not possessed by a nation or combination of nations threatening to national security may not be deemed to be available from foreign sources until the Secretary of State verifies that negotiations with the foreign sources have been undertaken.

Directs the Secretary of State to negotiate with other countries regarding their cooperation in restricting the export of goods and technology. Requires the Director to deny all further exports to any party or parties responsible for the diversion of U.S. exports to unauthorized uses, regardless of whether such goods or technology are available from sources outside the United States. Authorizes the Director to take other appropriate steps to deter further unauthorized use of the previously exported goods or technology. Requires the Director to take such action when there is reliable evidence that goods or technology which were exported subject to national security controls have been diverted to an unauthorized use or consignee in violation of an export license. Authorizes the President to impose export controls on any goods, technology, or other information subject to U.S. jurisdiction or exported by any person subject to U.S. jurisdiction to the extent necessary to further U.S. foreign policy or to fulfill U.S. international obligations.

Declares that this Act does not authorize export controls on medicine or medical supplies.

Requires Congress to be notified of findings concerning proposed export controls on food. Expresses the intent of Congress that the President not impose export controls on goods or technology if the effect of such exports would be to help meet basic human needs. Requires the President to try to conclude negotiations with appropriate foreign governments to secure the cooperation of such governments in controlling exports to countries to which U.S. foreign policy export controls apply. Declares that certain provisions of this Act shall not apply if foreign policy export controls are imposed to meet international obligations. Requires the Director and Secretary of State to notify the appropriate congressional committees before approving export licenses for goods or technology valued at more than $7,000,000 to countries which: (1) have repeatedly supported international terrorism; and (2) would benefit militarily or would have an enhanced ability to support international terrorism.
