Order
    Whereas, on June 30, 1986, the then-Assistant Secretary for Trade 
Administration, Paul Freedenberg, entered an Order against Michael M. 
Winkler, Syscom Winkler, U.S.A., Inc. and Syscom Winkler, GmbH 
(hereinafter referred to collectively as the ``denied parties''), 
denying each party all export privileges for a period of 20 years based 
on a finding that each had violated the Export Administration Act of 
1979, as amended (currently codified at 50 U.S.C.A. app. Secs. 2401-
2420 (1991, Supp. 1993, and Pub. L. No. 103-227, July 5, 1994)) (the 
Act,\1\ and the Export Administration Regulations (currently codified 
at 15 CFR Parts 768-799 (1994)) (the Regulations) (51 FR 24569 (July 7, 
1986));
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\The Act expired on August 20, 1994. Executive Order 12924 (59 
Fed. Reg. 43437, August 23, 1994) continued the Regulations in 
effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 
U.S.C.A. Secs. 1701-1706 (1991)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Whereas, to prevent evasion of the Order by the denied parties, by 
Order of July 7, 1986, then-Assistant Secretary Freedenberg amended the 
June 30, 1986 Order to make its provisions applicable to the following 
persons, related to the denied parties in the conduct of trade or 
related services: Winkler GmbH, Syscom GmbH and Winkler Electronics, 
Inc. (51 FR 25081 (July 10, 1986));
    Whereas, the Department represented that it has reason to believe 
that, as of August 22, 1991, Syscom U.S.A., Inc. no longer operates as 
a business; that Syscom Winkler, GmbH was liquidated on October 1, 
1986; that Winkler Electronics, Inc. filed a voluntary petition in 
bankruptcy under Chapter 7 on January 16, 1984, and no longer operates 
as a business; that Winkler GmbH--Truebner Strasse and Syscom GmbH are 
not currently listed in the Official Trade Register at the Heidelberg 
District Court; and that Michael M. Winkler died in 1990;
    Whereas, based on the representations made by the Department and 
the unique circumstances surrounding these matters, I find that it is 
inappropriate to maintain respondents' status on the list of denied 
parties;
    Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that the Orders of June 30, 1986 
and July 7, 1986 are vacated.
    This Order, which is effective immediately, shall be published in 
the Federal Register.

    Entered this 31st day of August, 1994.
William A. Reinsch,
Under Secretary for Export Administration.
