4. ECO and FSN Srivastava met with Mr. Prabhu, Additional General

Secretary, Ministry of External Affairs, arranged and was present at
the meeting.
5. HAL representatives were familiar with BIS regulations. However,
this was the first visit by BIS officials to their facility. Prabhu
provided copies of the following documents relating to this
transaction: HAL Purchase Order, Teledyne Invoice, HAL End-Use
Statement, BIS License Conditions, Teledyne Packing List, and the
Air Waybill. Prabhu acknowledged that he understood, had complied
with, and would continue to comply with the license conditions.
6. Prabhu confirmed the stated end-use. He explained that the BAW
delay devices are used to calibrate radio altimeters supplied to the
Indian Coast Guard for use in their helicopters.
7. After the meeting, the BIS team was given a tour of the
HAL facility. ECO physically verified the three delay devices which
are stored in a supply room. ECO recorded their serial numbers as
005, 006, and 007.
8. Established in 1965, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited is India's
