UNDER SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FROM ITS HEADQUARTERS TO MOVE NOTHING
AT ALL.

THE COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS HAS ISSUED INSTRUCTIONS TO HIS STAFF TO WATCH PARTICULARLY CAREFULLY FOR APPARENT BREACH OF REGULATIONS BY TRANS-SHIPMENT. OUR OIL PRODUCTS ARE IMPORTED FROM VENEZUELA OR TEXAS. HE KNOWS OF NO IMPORTS/EXPORTS OF OTHER PRODUCTS TO/FROM KUWAIT OR IRAQ.
7. ON TRADING LICENSES, WE DO NOT HAVE A SYSTEM. IT SEEMS STRANGE TO INTRODUCE A SYSTEM, KNOWING THAT THE ONLY REQUESTS WHICH WOULD
BE GRANTED UNDER IT COULD BE GRANTED ANYWAY UNDER THE REGULATIONS NOW BROUGHT IN TO BAN ALL SUCH TRADING ACTIVITIES. PERHAPS YOU WOULD RECONSIDER THE PROPOSAL TO INTRODUCE A
LICENSING PROCEDURE, IN THE LIGHT OF THIS.
8.
I HAVE RECEVED SO FAR ONE APPLICATION ONLY FOR AN EXEMPTION
AND AM FORWARDING IT FOR YOUR ADVICE.
9. PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT WE ARE TAKING EVERY POSSIBLE STEP TO
COMPLY WITH THE VARIOUS ORDERS. I AM PLEASED TO SAY THAT THE
FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS COMMUNITY HERE IS RESPONDING VERY
SATISFACTORILY.
