    Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. No instrument of 
equivalent scientific value to the foreign instrument, for such 
purposes as these instruments are intended to be used, was being 
manufactured in the United States at the time the instruments were 
ordered. Reasons: Each foreign instrument is a conventional 
transmission electron microscope (CTEM) and is intended for research or 
scientific educational uses requiring a CTEM. We know of no CTEM, or 
any other instrument suited to these purposes, which was being 
manufactured in the United States either at the time of order of each 
instrument or at the time of receipt of application by the U.S. Customs 
Service.
