Executive Order 12829: National Industrial Security Program
"This order establishes a National Industrial Security Program to safeguard Federal Government classified information that is released to contractors, licensees, and grantees of the United States Government. To promote our national interests, the United States Government issues contracts, licenses, and grants to nongovernment organizations. When these arrangements require access to classified information, the national security requires that this information be safeguarded in a manner equivalent to its protection within the executive branch of Government. The national security also requires that our industrial security program promote the economic and technological interests of the United States. Redundant, overlapping, or unnecessary requirements impede those interests. Therefore, the National Industrial Security Program shall serve as a single, integrated, cohesive industrial security program to protect classified information and to preserve our Nation's economic and technological interests."

FEMA is put in charge of the managing and implementation of the civil defense program, under the guidance of the National Security Council.

National Security Directive 58: Chemical Weapons Convention Initiative
From the text of National Security Directive (NSD) 58: "The recent conflict in the Persian Gulf brought into play once again the threat of chemical weapons (CW). It demonstrated in the most graphic terms that unscrupulous regimes can and will threaten entire populations with these weapons of terror as long as we permit them to exist. The circumstances of that conflict renew and reinforce my conviction, shared by responsible leaders around the world, that chemical weapons must be banned. Our best hope for getting us firmly on the path to that goal is the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) under negotiation in Geneva. The United States is the only country that can provide the leadership necessary to achieve an early conclusion to a CWC that serves our interests. Accordingly, I have decided that the U.S. will take new initiatives to accelerates the negotiations in Geneva, and to provide stronger incentives to states to follow the American lead by committing themselves to becoming parties to an effective Convention and to carrying out its requirements strictly."

In National Security Directive (NSD) 53, President H.W. Bush directs that "American exporters are entitles to prompt review of export license applications submitted to the United States Government.

At the same time, I want to emphasize that none of the changes set fourth in this directive are intended in any way to signal a lessening of our determination to weigh cautiously license applications raising potential nonproliferation or broader national security concerns."
