verify the bona fides of Yamada and its status as an official 
supplier of the Japanese MOD, and to confirm the legitimacy 
of the transaction proposed by application 050099140. The 
following questions are provided as suggested guidance: 
 
For the Japanese MOD: 
 
--Did you order from Yamada the exact type and quantity of 
items listed on this application? 
 
--What is Yamada's current status vis-a-vis the Japan MOD? 
Have recent media reports about Yamada's past activities had 
any impact on the company's current contracts or eligibility 
an official supplier/contractor for the Japan MOD? 
 
For Yamada: 
 
--Does the company have proper supporting documentation, 
including purchase orders from the Japan MOD, for this 
proposed transaction? 
 
--Have recent media reports about Yamada's past activities 
had any impact on the company's current contracts or 
eligibility an official supplier/contractor for the Japan MOD? 
 
--What actions, if any, is Yamada taking in response to the 
recent media reports? 
 
--Has Yamada discovered any indications that current or 
former company officials ordered the unauthorized re-transfer 
or misuse of United States Munitions List (UMSL) articles or 
technology imported from he United States? 
 
--Does the company understand the restrictions on USML items, 
especially the prohibition against unauthorized re-transfers 
and re-exports? 
 
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.
