LobbyistDateDescription
HAROLD HANSON Jul 16, 2013 On or about January 29, 2009, Hanson made false or misleading statements to the U.S. Government in the course of an investigation. Specifically, in relation to an investigation of unlicensed exports to the People's Republic of China (China) of 20 autopilots, items subject to the Regulations, and valued at approximately $90,340, during an interview with a BIS special agent and an FBI special agent on or about January 29, 2009, Hanson represented that he did not provide the Canadian seller, with an end use for the autopilots. These statements were false or misleading because Hanson actually had provided the seller with a stated end use in his email communications with the company, stating that the autopilots would be used for research projects to record thunderstorm and tornado development in the Great Plains. The items were, in fact, intended for export to China and subsequently were exported from the United States to China.
