willfully attempting to export from the United States to China, a 
Harris Falcon III AN/PRC 152A Radio, which is designated as a defense 
article on the United States Munitions List, without the required 
licenses or written authorization from the State Department. As a 
result of his conviction, the Court sentenced Li to 36 months of 
confinement, three years of supervised release and $100 assessment. Li 
was also placed on U.S. Department of State's debarred list.
    Pursuant to Section 1760(e) of the Export Control Reform Act 
(``ECRA''), the export privileges of any person who has been convicted 
of certain offenses, including, but not limited to, Section 38 of the

of Industry and Security (``BIS'') licenses or other authorizations

the AECA. BIS provided notice and opportunity for Li to make a written 
submission to BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of the Export

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based upon my review of the record and consultations with BIS's
