SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK
ON LICENSE 050129744

REF: 07 KUALA LUMP 930


1. This is an Action Request. See paragraphs 2 - 4.


2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Post's assistance in conducting
a pre-license check on license 050129744 for the export of
shotguns to Malaysia. Post is requested to complete this Blue
Lantern check within 30 days. Lack of response to a Blue
Lantern check will affect pending and future licenses
involving parties to this license.


3. Reason for Request: Previous EXTRANCHECK conducted by Post
in 2007 was unfavorable, as Post was unable to locate a
legitimate office for foreign consignee DRii Watan Sdn Bhd
(REFTEL). The current license application lists a different
address than the one previously checked. This request is for
Post to establish the bona fides of the company and determine
if it is a trusted recipient of United State Munitions List
items.


4. Action Request: Post is requested to establish the bona
fides of foreign consignee DRii Watan Sdn Bhd by making
appropriate inquires to representatives of the company. Post
should also establish the bona fides of the transaction by
making appropriate inquiries to representatives of the
end-user, the Royal Malaysian Police Unit 69 Komando.

In its reply, Post may also comment on any other information
pertinent to these transactions such as security of
facilities, end-use, and concerns about the entities involved.
