1. On 16 August, Economic Officer Steven Conlon and FSN
Economic Specialist Abdullah Mejalli conducted a pre-license
check visit of Al-Muzayan International Company, Telephone:
(965) 240-2444/240-2666, and met with the owner of the
company, Mr. Abdullah Hamad Al-Muzayan.


2. The Al-Muzayan family has specialized in hunting and
fishing equipment and supplies for more than 80 years. This
specific company, which specializes in hunting equipment, was
established in 1989 when the father's company was divided
among three sons. The company has three employees. Abdullah
Hamad Al-Muzayan is manager and sole proprietor. Typical
customers are middle-class Kuwaiti citizens who are weekend
sportsmen. The company is located in a secure commercial
area on the Arabian Gulf Road opposite the Seif Palace
(office of the Amir of Kuwait),adjacent to the Central Bank
of Kuwait. The store does not currently have an installed
security system. Weapons and ammunition are kept in locked
cabinets.


3. The company has an established, legitimate customer base,
and it does keep proper, detailed records of its sales and
customers, including contact information. The owner/manager
and employees understand the restrictions on United States
Munitions List articles. The company has the proper firearms
license and import permit for the items listed on the license
application. Al-Muzayan International appears to be a
legitimate company and a reliable recipient of USML items.
