A. Denial of Export Privileges of Walter L. Lachman

    On November 18, 2005, in the U.S. District Court in the District of

codified at 50 U.S.C. app. 2401-2420 (2000)) (the ``Act'').\1\ 
Specifically, Lachman was convicted of knowingly exporting and causing 
to be exported from the United States to India, a controlled commodity, 
to wit, a component, accessory and controls for an isostatic press, 
that is, a control panel which consisted of, among other things, an 
operating control cabinet, a power/pressure control cabinet, and 
digital controllers and recorder, without having first obtained the 
required export license from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
