BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-SHIPMENT END-USE CHECK

UNCLAS KUALA LUMPUR 000812 SIPDIS PM/DTTC - BLUE LANTERN COORDINATOR E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: ETTC KOMC MY SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-SHIPMENT END-USE CHECK ON LICENSE 050096758 REF: A. A. SECSTATE 86476 ¶B. B. SECSTATE 61514 ¶1. Pursuant to reftel request, Econoff has made contact with the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) during the weeks of 19 August and 26 August regarding License 050096758. This license concerns one (1) item of Lot Radar Altimeter Indicator Amplifier Detector Generator Control Unit worth approximately USD two million. Econoff learned that the RMAF point of contact listed in reftel B departed in late summer 2009, and has been replaced by Major Shahrani. Maj. Shahrani said that, with the description provided of the item in question, he has been unable to find the item either in inventory or within their databases. Shahrani is unsure whether the item has arrived, and did not seem personally familiar with it. However, he appears to be reasonably new in his position and, admittedly, the RMAF inventory is massive. ¶2. Any further clarification that AM/DTTC can offer on this license would be appreciated, as Shahrani has indicated that he could look again if he had further information. We appreciate your assistance on this matter. RAPSON
