    Decision: Approved. No instrument of equivalent scientific value to 
the foreign instrument, for such purposes as these instruments are 
intended to be used, was being manufactured in the United States at the 
time the instruments were ordered.
    Reasons: Each foreign instrument is a conventional transmission 
electron microscope (CTEM) and is intended for research or scientific 
educational uses requiring a CTEM. We know of no CTEM, or any other 
instrument suited to these purposes, which was being manufactured in 
the United States at the time of order of each instrument.
