1. In response to reftel, Post contacted Helicopter Services
to ascertain the bona fides of the foreign end-user company
and whether the order for 25 Pynco NVIS filtered lamp
assemblies (P/N 2654-73P) had in fact been ordered and
received. Helicopter Services is in fact a legitimate New
Zealand corporation located in Taupo and has been listed with
the New Zealand Ministry of Economic Development since
October 1988 as a viable enterprise incorporated under the
laws of this country. Econoff spoke with John Bates who is
the person responsible for ordering parts at the company's
office located at the Taupo Airport. Mr. Bates confirmed that
the parts in question had been ordered and the shipment was
received in December 2005. He further indicated that all 25
pieces are currently installed in emergency medical service
helicopters.
2. The POC at Post for Blue Lantern issues is Econoff, Tom
Walsh who is prepared to follow-up with Helicopter Services
if there are more specific questions or details regarding
this case. Contact information, phone: (64) (4) 462-6000,
email: walshtj@state.gov.
