BILLING CODE 7555–01–M
Between on or about July 9, 2004, and
continuing through on or about August 16,
2004, Elkateb conspired and acted in concert
with others, known and unknown, to violate
the Regulations and to bring about an act that
constituted a violation of the Regulations.
The purpose of the conspiracy was to cause
the export of U.S.-origin lab equipment from
the United States to Syria, via Indonesia,
without the required U.S. Government
authorization. Pursuant to General Order No.
2 of May 14, 2004, set forth in Supplement
No. 1 to Part 736 of the Regulations,
authorization was required from BIS before
the lab equipment, items subject to the
Regulations,3 could be exported from the
United States to Syria. In furtherance of the
conspiracy, Elkateb and his co-conspirators
devised and employed a scheme to purchase
U.S.-origin lab equipment for a customer in
Syria from a foreign distributor of the U.S.
manufacturer. This scheme was developed
after Elkateb was informed by the U.S.
manufacturer that there were restrictions on
exporting to Syria. By engaging in this
activity, Elkateb committed one violation of
Section 764.2(d) of the Regulations.
Whereas, BIS and Elkateb have
entered into a Settlement Agreement
pursuant to Section 766.18(a) of the
Regulations whereby they agreed to
settle this matter in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth therein,
and
Whereas, I have approved of the terms
of such Settlement Agreement; It is
therefore ordered:
First, that for a period of one year
from the date of issuance of the Order,
Mohamad M. Elkateb, 29256 Marilyn
Dr., Canyon Country, CA 91387, and
when acting on behalf of Elkateb, his
representatives, assigns, or agents
(‘‘Denied Person’’) may not participate,
