#1 The Mammoth, Pa., firm has been sanctioned by the State Department, and Murtha argues that the action threatens to put the firm out of business.

No sympathy here. Commerce offers both training and resources on exporting. They also have regional offices. There are also plenty of private firms that will assist for a fee.

Sounds like a small company who saw a profitable contract, didn't feel like it could or wanted to 'play the game', and went around the rules to get it.

#2 Bozos probably got the order because the ignored ITAR regs. Surprised they are still open.
