NEWS I
U.S. Accuses
Footwear Maker
Washington (JTA) — The
U.S. Commerce Department
is accusing L.A. Gear, the
athletic footwear company,
of violating federal laws bar-
ring acquiescence with the
Arab boycott of Israel.
The purported violations
are possibly one of the last
involving Kuwait. They took
place in July 1987 and
January 1990, when the Los
Angeles-based outfit provid-
ed names and background
data on its manufacturers to
an unnamed company in the
emirate.
Before leveling the public
accusations, the Commerce
Department "entered into
settlement discussions with
L.A. Gear," said a Com-
merce Department official.
Those discussions "did not
reach a successful conclu-
sion" and prompted the
government to issue a
"charging letter," the offi-
cial said.
In a statement released
last week, L.A. Gear
disputed that "it has engag-
ed in any unlawful activity"
and said it "believes that it
has meritorious defenses to
the allegations raised."
If the administrative law
judge hearing the case,
Hugh Dolan, finds L.A. Gear
to have violated boycott
laws, it could face penalties
of up to $460,000 and be de-
nied export privileges.
It is "highly likely" that
Mr. Dolan will significantly
reduce the number of
penalties from 46, said Will
Maslow, general counsel to
the American Jewish Con-
gress and editor of its
Boycott Report newsletter.
Mr. Maslow said Mr.
Dolan issued a ruling to that
effect Nov. 27 in the case of
Martin Brothers, an export
trading company.
Mr. Dolan has lumped
together simultaneous viola-
tions, such as those incurred
when an Arab country, on a
single sheet of paper, asks
for, and receives, informa-
tion on several companies.
But in that case, which
Martin Brothers is appeal-
ing, Mr. Dolan ruled that the
company would lose its ex-
port privileges for at least
six months. That marked the
first time a U.S. company
would face a sweeping ex-
port ban for violating U.S.
anti-boycott law, enacted in
the mid-1970s under
pressure from Jewish
groups.
The groups are lobbying
members of Congress to in-
crease from $10,000 to
$50,000 the maximum
penalties for each boycott
violation, as promised to
them last year by then-
Commerce Secretary Robert
Mosbacher.
Mr. Maslow said that any
violations by L.A. Gear are
of "no great significance"
because since the Persian
Gulf War, Kuwait has
stopped asking companies to
assure that they comply
with the 41-year-old boycott
of Israel.
A Commerce Department
official said that "since the
Gulf War, Kuwait has not
been enforcing their boycott.
