Guiding Principles of The Bureau of Industry and Security
The paramount concern of BIS is the security of the United States, which includes its national security, economic security, cyber security, and homeland security. BIS's credibility - within government, with industry, and with the American people - depends upon its fidelity to this principle. For example, in the area of dual-use export controls, BIS vigorously administers and enforces such controls to stem the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them, to halt the spread of weapons to terrorists or countries of concern, and to further important U.S. foreign policy objectives. Where there is credible evidence suggesting that the export of a dual-use item threatens U.S. security, the Bureau must act to combat that threat.
Beyond national security, BIS is tasked with ensuring the health of the U.S. economy and the competitiveness of U.S. industry. They seek to promote a strong and vibrant defense-industrial base that can develop and provide technologies that will enable the United States to maintain its military superiority. BIS takes great care to ensure that its regulations do not impose unreasonable restrictions on legitimate international commercial activity that are necessary for the health of U.S. industry.

“For the child whose impulsiveness is indulged, who retains his primitive-discharge mechanisms, is not only an ill-behaved child but a child whose intellectual development is slowed down. No matter how well he is endowed intellectually, if direct action and immediate gratification are the guiding principles of his behavior, there will be less incentive to develop the higher mental processes, to reason, to employ the imagination creatively. . . .”

“Parents must not only have certain ways of guiding by prohibition and permission; they must also be able to represent to the child a deep, an almost somatic conviction that there is a meaning to what they are doing. Ultimately, children become neurotic not from frustrations, but from the lack or loss of societal meaning in these frustrations.”
—Erik H. Erikson (20th century)
