International Traffic in Arms Regulations

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Department of State has 
imposed statutory debarment pursuant to Sec. 127.7(c) of the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR Parts 120-130) (ITAR) 
for all export license applications and other requests for approval 
involving Robert Clyde Ivy.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 24, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Philip S. Rhoads, Chief, Compliance and Enforcement Branch, Office of 
Defense Trade Controls, Department of State (703-875-6644).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 38(g)(4) of the Arms Export Control 
Act (22 U.S.C. 2778) (AECA) prohibits licenses and other requests for 
approval for the export of defense articles and the furnishing of 
defense services to be issued to a person, or any party to the export, 
convicted of violating or conspiring to violate the AECA. This notice 
is provided in order to make the public aware that the following person 
is prohibited from participating directly or indirectly in the export 
from the United States of defense articles, related technical data, or 
defense services for which a license or other approval is required from 
the Department of State under the AECA: Robert Clyde Ivy, a.k.a. 
Greenleaf, 3318 Cochran Drive, Lancaster, PA.

    Ivy was a U.S. defendant in U.S. v. The Armaments Corporation of 
South Africa, Ltd. (Armscor) et al. (Armscor entered a plea of nolo 
contendere and is subject currently to statutory debarment; see 62 FR 
13932, March 24, 1997). Ivy pleaded guilty on April 4, 1997, to 
conspiring to violate the AECA. Pursuant to Section 38(g)(4)(A) of the 
AECA and Section 127.7 of the ITAR, the Assistant Secretary of State 
for Political-Military Affairs has determined that Ivy is statutorily 
debarred from participating directly or indirectly in the export from 
the United States of defense articles, related technical data, or 
defense services for which a license or other approval is required from 
the Department of State under the AECA, or for which an exemption to 
the requirement for a license or other approval exists in the ITAR.
