Sent facsimile to Irvine, California on or about April 25, 1996 to Abdol Hamid Rashidian, who was convicted in April 1998 of conspiring to ship impregnated alumina to Iran, containing technical data on impregnated alumina and suggested there would be good benefit if Rashidian could find a seller of the material; impregnated alumina is a chemical used primarily as a catalyst in the plastics and rubber industry, although it can be used to manufacture phosphorousoxychloride, an intermediate for organophosphate insecticides and the nerve (chemical warfare) agents VX and GB.
