SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN POST-SHIPMENT END USE CHECK ON
LICENSE 050137188

1. This is an action message. See paragraphs 2-4.

2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests post assistance in conducting a
post-shipment check for the export of F-16 aircraft brake
parts to Indonesia via the United Kingdom. Post is requested
to complete this Blue Lantern check within 45 days. Lack of
response to a Blue Lantern check will affect pending and
future licenses involving parties to this license.

listed a Singapore company as a Foreign Intermediate
Consignee. This company was removed from the license before
approval due to concerns about possible diversion of the
commodity. The Department now wishes to conduct a
post-shipment check to confirm receipt of the commodity by
the Foreign End User.

4. ACTION: Please contact the Foreign End User, Indonesian
Air Force, and confirm its receipt of the exact quantity and
specific type of the commodities listed below. Please also
