1. ConGen Munich contacted Deutsches Zentrum f|r Luft und Raumfahrt
(DLR) in Wessling and received the confirmation that it had ordered
two detectors from Fermionics Corporation. DLR informed us that it
had not physically received the detectors, as the Australian firm
Integrated Spectronics Pty Ltd. was presently integrating one
detector into an aerial camera, and the second detector is to be
held by Integrated Spectronics as a spare. Once the detector is
mounted in the camera, it will be shipped to Germany and used for
environmental monitoring by DLR.

2. DLR is a reputable organization, and ConGen Munich is confident
the information provided by DLR is accurate to the best of DLR's
knowledge.

3. This report has been coordinated with Embassy Berlin.

4. Previous reporting from Munich is available on our SIPRNET
website at www.state.sgov.gov/p/eur/munich/ .
