Department Osman Yavuzalp as a follow-up to the meetings held 
during visit of U/S Joseph to Ankara.  EXBS Advisor provided 
information concerning the desire of the United States to 
cooperatively test uranium powder that was seized in Istanbul 
in August.  Yavuzalp stated that GOT is interested in 
participating in a joint forensic study of the powder, but it 
is also concerned about disrupting the legal process.  Since 
the powder is evidence in a crimal investigation,

customization of the Product Identification Tool (PIT). (This 
project has awaited the selection of a contractor in order to 
move forward to the next stage of development.)  Turksen was 
aware of the importance of this selection.  She said she was 
aware the Undersecretariat of Foreign Trade had recently 
selected a contractor for the Internal Control Program, and 
that Custom would like to discuss with UFT to determine if 
this company would be a good fit for their project too.  EXBS 
Advisor thanked Turksen for her support of the recent CIT 
training, and for the participation of GOT members in the CIT

focus in on their own exercise next spring, however they will 
be sending a 6-person delegation to the upcoming Regional 
Operational Experts Working Group meeting in Hamburg, where
