The State Department's Office of Public Diplomacy for [[Latin America]] was described by a 1992 House committee report as "a domestic, covert operation designed to lobby the Congress, manipulate the media and influence domestic public opinion" regarding the Contra war. The State Department issued a White Paper on Contra drug allegations that belittled every claim except those involving the [[Sandinistas]], studiously avoiding any mention of [[Norwin Meneses]].[^12]
### Directorate of Defense Trade Controls
The department administers the [[International Traffic in Arms Regulations]] through the [[Directorate of Defense Trade Controls]], a directorate within the [[Bureau of Political-Military Affairs]] that was called the Office of Munitions Control until March 29, 1990, and the Office of Defense Trade Controls until a realignment effective January 20, 2003 created the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and abolished the position of Director of the Office.[^13][^14][^15] The 2006 ITAR amendment that recorded the directorate's name also placed its section in Part 120 under the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.[^14]
