Hughes Electronics Corp. and Boeing resolved civil charges of violating the Arms Export Control Act, agreeing to a $32 million settlement. The charges involved the transfer of rocket data to China in 1995 and 1996 by Hughes Space & Communications, which Hughes Electronics sold to Boeing in October 2000. Of the $32 million fine, $12 million was suspended “on the condition that over a five-year period, Boeing will apply $6 million and Hughes will apply $2 million to offset the costs associated with remedial compliance measures required in the consent agreement.” The remaining $4 million of the suspended amount was credited back to Boeing and Hughes for compliance-strengthening measures they had already undertaken. POGO is unable to determine Boeing’s share of the unsuspended $20 million civil penalty.
