¶2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls 
Compliance (PM/DTCC) 
requests Posts' assistance in conducting a post-shipment 
inquiry on License 
994633 for the export of defense hardware to Senegal. Posts 
are requested to 
complete this Blue Lantern inquiry within 45 days.  Lack of

¶3. Reason for request:  Unfamiliar Foreign Intermediate 
Consignee; confirm bona 
fides of the transaction. 
 
¶4. Action Tel Aviv: Department requests that Post make 
appropriate 
inquiries to establish the bona fides of Foreign Intermediate 
Consignee 
A.D. Consultants, Ltd. as a reliable recipient of United 
States Munitions 
List (USML) items.  Conduct a site visit to the company in 
order to 
assess its business operations and on-site security.  If a 
site visit is not 
possible, please inform the PM/DTCC case officer. 
 
The following questions provide suggested guidance: 
 
-- Does A.D. Consultants have proper supporting 
documentation, including a purchase 
order from Armee de l'Air du Senegal for the transaction? 
 
-- Does the company have secure facilities and proper 
accounting and 
security procedures for handling sensitive USML items? 
 
-- When was the company established and who are its 
principals? 
 
-- What is the nature of its business -- what types of items 
does it handle; 
does it serve as a broker? 
 
-- What types of organizations are among its typical 
customers and where are 
the customers located? 
 
-- Does the company understand the restrictions on USML 
items, especially 
the prohibition against unauthorized re-transfers and 
re-exports? 
 
Action Dakar:  Department requests that Post make appropriate 
inquiries to 
verify that Armee de l'Air du Senegal received the USML items 
listed on the 
license for the stated purpose. 
 
End Action Request.
