REPORTED CANCELLED
REF: SECSTATE 165188
Classified By: Economic Minister Counselor Tom Delare for reasons 1.4 (
B) AND (D)
1. (C) Econoff spoke by phone October 17 with Donato
D'Angelantonio, Director General of Supplies for Elettronica
SPA (foreign consignee and end-user),regarding reftel.
According to D'Angelantonio, who provided extensive
supporting documents (via fax),Elettronica cancelled May 19,
2005 the order of TWT (Traveling Wave Tube) Assembly,
A13553-01-06, from Pendulum Electromagnetics. Elettronica's
letter of cancellation to Pendulum Electromagnetics, dated
May 19, 2005, was sent to the attention of Carl Everleigh and
referenced purchase order "4500003381."
2. (C) D'Angelantonio did not provide a reason why the
order was cancelled, but stated that Elettronica did not
receive any delivery from Pendulum Electromagnetics on this
order. D'Angelantonio volunteered that said order was the
first time that Elettronica attempted to do business with
Pendulum Electromagnetics, and has not done any since.
3. (C) Comment: Of note in Elettronica's May 19, 2005
letter of cancellation to Pendulum Electromagnetics was a
sentence stating, "No further money will be paid by
Elettronica beyond what already paid" (sic). Post has not
inquired further into this sentence, but would like to note
that the sentence might imply some transaction or processing
of the order between the two companies before Elettronica
cancelled the order. End comment.
