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


2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Embassy's assistance in
conducting a post-shipment check on license 050056771 for the

requested to complete this Blue Lantern check within 45 days.
Lack of response to a Blue Lantern check will affect pending
and future licenses involving parties to this license.


3. Reason for request: Unusual routing to Malaysia via
foreign consignee, Avocet Aviation, in the United Kingdom.


4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with
appropriate host government officials to determine if the
Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) has received the C-130 parts

on the license. Can the RMAF elaborate on Avocet's role in
this transaction? Are any local Malaysian firms also
involved in this export? END ACTION.
