One of the items in Obama's Speech issues was export control reform...
In my view, it is not export control that is keeping us from increasing our market share overseas. The "big" sales that would increase jobs usually involve the transfer of advanced technology know how. A short term "win" for jobs and industry, but a long term drain on US jobs and technological superiority, by advancing foreign capabilities.

My former boss was just appointed as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Political-Miliary Affairs at State. That gives her oversight of the part of the export control policy controlled by State (i.e., most high technology relating to military associated/developed technologies). As you may or may not know, export policy is divided between Commerce Depeartment ("dual use" times and technologies) and State (national security related technologies). Defense Department reviews both. Commerce generally ignores the Defense Department objections; while State Department is generally influenced heavily by Defense views.
