ACTION: Public notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Pursuant to Sections 38 and 42 of the Arms Export Control Act, notice is hereby given that it is no longer the policy of the United States to deny all requests for licenses and other approvals to export or otherwise transfer lethal items to Ecuador or Peru. All requests will henceforth be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. EFFECTIVE DATE: November 13, 1995. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian D. Bachman, Office of Arms Transfer and Export Control, Bureau of Political-Military Arms Transfer and Export Control, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Department of State (202-647-4231). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective immediately, it is no longer the policy of the U.S. Government to deny all requests for licenses and approvals to authorize the export or other transfer of lethal items to Ecuador and Peru. All requests will henceforth be reviewed on a case- by-case basis. Exports will be evaluated in light of the recent conflict between these countries and the desirability of promoting multilateral restraint in arms transfers to Peru and Ecuador. The licenses and approvals subject to this policy include those which permit commercial defense and service exports of any kind (e.g. exemptions and licenses and other approvals for licenses for manufacturing, license agreements, technical assistance agreements, and [[Page 57050]] technical data exports) involving Ecuador and Peru under the authority of the Arms Export Control Act. This action has been taken pursuant to Sections 38 and 42 of the Arms Export and Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778, 2791) and Section 126.7 of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations in furtherance of the foreign policy of the United States. Dated: November 6, 1995. Thomas E. McNamara, Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Department of State. [FR Doc. 95-27957 Filed 11-9-95; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4710-25-M
