Summary:

Kh-101 cruise missiles like the one that struck Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital are critical to Russia's continued assault on Ukraine. These savage weapons could not be made or fired without electronics from U.S. manufacturers, including semiconductors from Analog Devices Incorporated (Analog Devices), Intel Corporation (Intel), and Texas Instruments Incorporated (Texas Instruments). The need for robust compliance and vigorous enforcement of export controls extends far beyond the Russia- Ukraine war: export controls have emerged as a critical tool of U.S. national security over the last 15 years, central not only to efforts to constrain Russia's advances but also attempts to slow China's push to match the U.S. in artificial intelligence. Export controls are a particularly important tool for constraining access to critical technologies in which U.S. companies maintain dominance. This includes semiconductors, which are needed to run electronic devices such as Kh-101 cruise missiles and other complex weapons systems. This report represents the Subcommittee's findings on the role that the four selected semiconductor manufacturers play in ensuring that their products do not continue to fuel Russia's aggression in Ukraine; however, these findings can be applied more broadly to export control compliance efforts across the semiconductor manufacturing industry.

Contents:

Executive Summary.

Background.

.A. Semiconductors are essential to Russia's war effort in Ukraine.

B. The Subcommittee's inquiry. C. Reports from non-governmental organizations have shown the continued presence of U.S.-manufactured semiconductors in Russian weapons.

D.The success of U.S. export controls requires proactive corporate compliance.

Part II: Findings.

A. Exports of U.S.-manufactured semiconductors to countries of concern have increased since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

B. Texas Instruments, Intel, Analog Devices, and AMD were slow to detect sales of products to entities of concern.

C. Significant gaps remain in Texas Instruments, Intel, Analog Devices, and AMD's export control compliance policies and procedures.

D. Semiconductor manufacturers have not sufficiently increased their export control compliance efforts since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Part III: Recommendations.

A. Semiconductor manufacturers should respond to external tracing efforts thoroughly and in a timely manner.

B. Semiconductor manufacturers should annually audit their entire export controls compliance programs, and audit targeted processes more frequently

particularly when problems arise or regulations change.

C. Semiconductor manufacturers should implement policies to increase visibility into export controls in their distribution chain, including yearly audits of all of their distributors' export controls compliance.

D. Semiconductor manufacturers should routinely submit export control plans for review and comment by BIS.
