1.(SBU) Embassy Tel Aviv received the following two letters 
regarding Israeli participation in sales of regulated 
equipment to Angolan entities, which were forwarded via 
e-mail to Embassy Luanda and PM on February 21, 2007.  For 
the official record, Embassy Luanda is transmitting the text 
of the letters as found below.  Both letters were generated 
by the Israeli Ministry of Defense dated January 8 and 
January 9, 2007 and refer to the Blue Lantern cases in 
reftels A and B.

Dubi Galezky 
Head of Enforcement and Outreach Unit 
Department of Defense Export Control 
Israel Ministry of Defense 
Ha-Kiriya 
Tel-Aviv 
 
 
Dear Mr. Galezky, 
 
Further to the request of the Israel Ministry of Defense 
(IMOD) for information relating to the end of use of a U.S 
ITAR control item sold by Elbit Systems Ltd. (Elbit) for end 
use in Angola, please be advised as follows. 
 
-- In 2004, Elbit purchased from Uni-Cast Inc. (Uni-Cast), of 
Londonderry, New Hampshire, 58 computer housing castings for 
use in connection with artillery systems sold for end use by 
the Angolan Army. 
 
-- The castings were manufactured by Uni-Cast per an Elbit 
design, specification and mold. 
 
-- Elbit has provided the IMOD with a copy of the DSP-5 
export license granted in June 2004 for export of the 
castings for end use in Angolan artillery units by the 
Angolan Army. 
 
-- A review of the current status of the 58 castings 
purchased indicates: 
      -- 44 were delivered to Angolan Army through Elbit,s 
prime contractor, 
         LR Avionics Technologies Ltd.; 
      -- 5 were scraped in the MRP process; and 
      -- 9 are currently in inventory marked for the 
designated end use (2 stored 
         in the completed products warehouse and 7 stored in 
the top assembly 
         warehouse). 
 
-- Elbit's recent review of the DSP-5 license in response to 
the IMOD enquiry indicates that LR Avionics was inadvertently 
omitted from the list of intermediate consignees.  However, 
it should be noted that as part of Elbit,s general 
enhancement of its export control process, and prior to and 
unrelated to the IMOD,s enquiry on Angola, Elbit has 
implemented a number of steps that mitigate the possibility 
of such inadvertent omissions being made in the future with 
respect to intermediate consignees. 
 
-- We understand that the IMOD will advise the U.S. 
authorities regarding the above-mentioned information as 
appropriate. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Michal Stavi 
Export control Coordinator

Mr. Michael C. Keays 
First Secretary 
Political-Military Affairs 
United States Embassy Israel 
 
Enquiry Regarding End Use of U.S. Componens in Angola 
 
In response to the letter dated May 16, 2006 sent by the US 
 
Charge d' affairs in Angola to the Israeli Ambassador there 
regarding the Angolan position on US end use inspections, and 
request for information regarding certain transactions, we 
would like to inform you as follows: 
 
With regard to your request for assistance in explaining to 
the relevant authorities of Angola the procedures with regard 
to US origin items, IMOD officials (SIBAT) met with senior 
officials of Angolan Army and brought up the issue, stressing 
that such end-use confirmation is standard US procedure and 
that cooperation with USG on this matter is commended. The US 
Ambassador to Angola was informed of this in the course of a 
meeting with the Israeli Ambassador and IMOD officials held 
in Luanda in September 2006. 
 
Pursuant to your request for information regarding License 
05-9284945 and License Application 05-962056, our 
investigation has provided the following findings: 
 
License 05-9284945 
------------------ 
 
Elbit System Ltd. Ordered 58 computer housing castings from 
Uni-cast Inc., for which export license no. 9284945 was 
issued in June 2004.  the housings were received by Elbit on 
26 September 2004 (twenty seven (27) units) and 7 December 
2004 (thirty one (31) units). Forty-four (44) units were 
supplied to the Angolan Army through LR Avionics Technologies 
Ltd. Five (5) units did not pass quality assurance tests. 
Nine (9) units are currently in Elbit's inventory (1) two (2) 
units are in the company's complete product warehouse and 
seven (7) units are in the top assembly warehouse. 
 
Attached is a copy of an End User certificate issued by the 
Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Angola. 
 
Following IMOD questions to Elbit on the issue, we were 
notified by the company that its review had indicated that LR 
Avionics was inadvertently omitted from the list of 
intermediate consignees.  Elbit had also advised us that as 
part of the company's general enhancement of its export 
control process and prior to and unrelated to the recent 
case, it had implemented a number of steps that mitigate the 
possibility of such inadvertent omissions being made in 
future (see attached letter submitted to IMOD by Elbits 
Export Control Coordinator) 
 
License Application 05-962056 
----------------------------- 
 
Elta ordered two 2129 radars from Telephonics which were to 
be supplied to Elbit for end use by the Army of Angola. 
Telephonics did not succeed in obtaining an export license 
for the radar in time for supply and therefore the 
above-mentioned order was cancelled.
