    SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-SHIPMENT END-USE CHECK
    ON LICENSE 050016624
    REF: 08 MEXICO 3137

    ¶1. This is an Action Request. See paragraphs 2 - 4.

    ¶2. (U) The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
    Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Post's assistance in conducting
    a post-shipment check on license 050016624 for the export of
    firearms to Mexico.  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.

    ¶3. (SBU) Reason for Request:  According to eTrace data from
    the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
    (BATFE), an AR-15 type rifle exported to the Secretaria de la
    Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) on license 050016624 was recovered
    in Panindicuaro, Michoacan (serial number L428091).  The
    firearms on this license were destined for ultimate end-use
    by the Secretarias de Seguriada Publica in Baja, Chihuahua,
    and Michoacan.  Several other firearms recovered in illicit
    caches and traced by BATFE have been linked to transactions
    to which the foreign intermediate consignees in this case,
    Central Aduanas de Mexico and Eduardo Jordan, were party.

    ¶4. (SBU) Action Request:  Post is requested to making
    inquiries with appropriate Government of Mexico (GOM)
    officials in order to confirm the receipt of the firearms
    listed below and seek information on how the AR-15 rifle
    recovered in Michoacan was diverted.  Post should request
    that GOM account for all the firearms received on this
    license.  In addition, Post is requested to establish the
    bona fides of the foreign intermediate consignees Central
    Aduanas de Mexico and Eduardo Jordan and clarify their roles
    in this transaction (NOTE: Post is not/not requested to
    contact Central Aduanas de Laredo in Texas).  The following
    points are included for guidance:

    (To the Government of Mexico)

    --Did GOM receive all 1,030 AR-15 type rifles exported under
    license 050016624?  Can you provide documentation
    demonstrating receipt of the rifles by SEDENA?  Can you
    provide documentation demonstrating that the firearms were
    transferred to and received by the Secretarias de Seguriada
    Publica in Baja, Chihuahua, and Michoacan?

    --Did GOM authorize the retransfer of any of these rifles?
    If so, what parties were involved in the re-export?  Please
    provide all available information regarding the retransfer,
    whether authorized or otherwise.

    --Does GOM maintain sufficient records that allow a thorough
    inventory of rifles in its stock?  Please account for the
    current location of the 1,030 AR-15 type rifles.

    (To Central Aduanas de Mexico in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas,
    Mexico)

    --When was your company established and who are its
    principles?

    --What goods and services does your company provide?  Who are
    your regular customers and where do they reside?

    --What is your role in these transactions?  Did you ever have
    physical possession of these firearms?  Please provide all
    available information regarding your role in this
    transaction, including any documentation that demonstrates
    that the firearms were placed in GOM custody.

    --What is your relationship to Central Aduanas de Laredo in
    Laredo, Texas?  Do you have any official business partnership
    or agreements with the company?  Are any payments, good, or
    services exchanged between your company and Central Aduanas
    de Laredo?  Please describe in detail the partnership,
    agreements, and/or exchanges.

    --What was Central Aduanas de Laredo's role in this
    transaction?  Did they ever have physical possession of the

    STATE 00057530  002 OF 003

    firearms?

    any official business partnership or agreements with Mr.
    Jordan?  Are any payments, good, or services exchanged
    between your company and Mr. Jordan?  Please describe in
    detail the partnership, agreements, and/or exchanges.

    --What was Eduardo Jordan's role in this transaction?  Did he
    ever have physical possession of the firearms?

    --Are you familiar with the regulations governing the import
    of U.S.-origin defense articles, including restrictions on
    re-transfer or re-export?

    (To Eduardo Jordan)

    --You previously stated that you are a marketing agent for
    Bushmaster Firearms (REFTEL).  Is this still true?  Did you
    ever have physical possession of the firearms during the
    course of this transaction?

    --What is your relationship to Central Aduanas de Mexico and
    Central Aduanas de Laredo? Do you have any official business
    partnership or agreements with the companies?  Are any
    payments, good, or services exchanged between you and the
    companies?  Please describe in detail the partnership,
