ON APPLICATION 050110027

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 application 050110027 for the export
of gyroscopes 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
applications involving parties to this license.


3. Reason for request: new information prompting follow-up
to a previous unfavorable Blue Lantern check. Based on
post's findings on a pre-license Blue Lantern check on
application 050088296 (ref A),the Department's Directorate
of Defense Trade Controls (PM/DDTC) returned the application
without action (RWA). U.S. applicant System Engineering GES,
Inc., subsequently resubmitted the application (now as
050110027) with additional supporting documentation,
including a letter and an email from proposed end-user
Orogenic Resources Sdn Bhd. Company officials claim that no
one in the firm had been contacted by any Department
officials, and invite Department officials to visit the
company's offices in Shah Alam. Department requests that
post make appropriate additional inquiries to verify the bona
fides of Orogenic and to confirm the legitimacy of the
proposed transaction. Details of the proposed transaction
and suggested questions for Orogenic officials are contained
in the original pre-license Blue Lantern request (ref B).


4. Department requests that post conduct a site visit to the
company in order to provide Department with an assessment of
its business operations and on-site security. If a site
visit is not possible, please inform PM/DTCC case officer.
Finally, post is asked to assess whether the company appears
to be a reliable recipient of USML items. End action.

follows:
