    1. Procurement sanction. The United States Government shall not 
procure, or enter into any contract for the procurement of, any goods 
or services from Sytrol.
    2. Banking transactions. Any transfers of credit or payments 
between financial institutions or by, through, or to any financial 
institution, to the extent that such transfers or payments are subject 
to the jurisdiction of the United States and involve any interest of 
Sytrol, shall be prohibited.
    3. Property transactions. It shall be prohibited to:
    a. Acquire, hold, withhold, use, transfer, withdraw, transport, 
import, or export any property that is subject to the jurisdiction of 
the United States and with respect to which Sytrol has any interest;
    b. Deal in or exercise any right, power, or privilege with respect

    Based on the sanctions imposed on Sytrol, these prohibitions also
