NtvARK -- Two U.S. Defense Department steel subcontractors and five of their corporate officers were indicted today for their alleged roles in a scheme in which they sold not military but commercial grade steel used to build and repair U.S. Navy submarines and surface ships. U.S. Attorney Samuel A.'Alito Jr.
announced.
Alloy & carbon Steel, Inc., faces a $6.5 million fine and Meredith Corporation, Pressure Vessel Nuclear, could receive a maximum $4.1 million fine if convicted on all counts with which they are charged, A11to said.
1 Alloy & carbon Ste.el company Inc., of Hillside and Meredith Corporation, Pressure vessel Nuclear of East Brunsvick also jointly owned a varehouse in East Brunswick.
s Two men who served in top management positions for both companies were also charged in the indictment Louis R. Mikosh, 46, of Warren, could receive a maximum punishment of 45 years in sail and $2.25 million in fines if convicted of all nine counts with which he is charged.
L William Lanza, 40 of Fort Lee, faces a maximum of 15 years in l
$ ail and fines of $750,000 if convicted on the three counts on which he was indicted, Alito said.

3.-
i Dean Lanza, 31, of Edison -- brother of William Lanza --
Meredith Corporation, Pressure Vessel Nuclear's vice-prer,1 dent of operations, maintained all documentation for both companies' contracts, according to the indictment, and faces a maximum of 80 years in $all and $4 million fines if convicted on all 16 counts with which he is charged, Alito said.
Hamilton Vazquez, 32, of Lincoln Park, quality control manager f or Meredith Corporation, Pressure Vessel Nuclear who, at times, performed similar duties for Alloy & Carbon steel Company Inc., could receive as much as 65 years in jail and fines of $3.2E mil 11on if convicted on all 13 counts on which he is charged, Alito said.
Thomas Syms, 53, of Carteret, purchasingagentforAlloy&
Carbon Steel Company Inc., could receive a maximum punishment of 15 years in jail and fines of $750,000 if convicted on all charges, Alito said.
t All defendants are expected to receive summonses and appear before the U.S.
District Court Judge to whom the case vill be assigned, Alito said.
The 27-count indictment, handed up this afternoon by a Newark Federal Grand Jury, charges the defendants with substituting l
L (More) 3 I
a C
copmercial-grade steel for military-grade steel and fraudulently documenting the substitutions as meeting military specifications.
Ten Navy military contractors were identified in the indictment as customers of the defendant corporations. Payments totalling about $52,000 for the non-conforming steel were made by military contractors to the two indicted corporations, according to the indictment.
"The cost of this fraud to the government shouldn't lessen the severity of the charges against these two companies and their officers," Alito said. "Although no accidents or in$uries have been attributed to the commercial-grade steel, our military must be given nothing less than it specifies."
The steel. supplied by the defendants was used by the Navy Department in submarines and surface ships that were built or l
l repaired, Alito said.
"Haterials subcontractors aren't told the final destination or informed about the specific use of their products when Defense Department contracts are given out," Alito said.
In certain situations contractors can deliver steel of non-military specifications with government approval.
(More) 4 l

~
I But in this case the defendants made substitutions themselves and, according to the indictment, even forged documents indicating that the commercial-grade steel met allitary specifications, Alito said.
Alito credited Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Gary L. Penrith, acting special agent-in-charge; and agents of the Naval Investigation Service's Northeast Regional Fraud Unit with developing this case.
9 An indictment is a f ormal charge made by a grand jury, a body of 16 to 23 citizens, Alito noted.
Grand jury proceedings are secret, and neither persons under investigation nor their attorneys have the right to be present.
A,, grand jury may vote an indictment if 12 or more jurors find probable cause to believe that the defendant has committed the crime or crimes charged.
Despite an indictment, every defendant is presumed innocent, unless and until found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt following a trial at which the defendant has all of the trial rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and federal law.

PRESSURE VESSEL NUCLEAR STEEL I N_D I C T M E N 'r The United States Grand Jury in and for the District of New Jersey, sitting in Howark, charges that:
CQUNT_1 1.
At all times material to this Indictment:
A.
ALLOY & CARBON STEEL COMPANY INC.
(" Alloy") and MEREDITH CORPORATION, PRESSURE VESSEL NUDLEAR ("PVN") were New Jersey corporations located at 460 Hillside Avenue, Hillside, New Jersey and which operated a steel warehouse and supplied steel to companies who contracted with the United States Department of Defense.- The companies also maintained a warehouse at 21 Edgeboro Road, East Brunswick, New Jersey.
Both Alloy and PVN supplied steel to defense contractors.
These contractors used some of the steel to repair and build surface ships and submarines and other equipment for the United States Navy.

LOUIS R. MIKOSH was th3 presidont and chief executive of Alloy and vice president of pVN and was authorized to prepare, submit, receive and maintain all documentation for Alloy's and PVN's contracts with defense contractors.
C.
WILLIAM LANZA was the vice president of Alloy and president of PVN and was authorized to prepare,. submit, receive and maintain all documentation for Alloy's and PVN's contracts with defense contractors.
D.
T}lOMAS SYMS was the pur'hasing agent for Alloy c
and was authorized to prepare, submit, receive and maintain all documentation for A11oy's and PVN's contracts with defense contractors.
E.
DEAN LANZA was the vice president of operations for pVN and was authorized to prepare, submit, receive and maintain all doiumentation for Alloy's and PVN's contracts with defense coni.ractors.
F.
RAMILTON VAZQUEZ was the quality control manager for pVN and, at times, performed quality control duties for Alloy including marking, stenciling, tagging, preparing and packaging steel for shipment.
G.
The United States Department of Defense, was an agency of the United States that purchased repair services and military equipment through, among other subdivisions,,the United States Navy (" Navy").
The Navy would typically contract with a company to produce military equipment or do repair work and would permit the contractor to subcontract part of the work and purchase parts and supplies from other vendors..
-e
n*
)
H.
When one of tho Navy contractors uses various types of steel for equipment production or repairs, the Department i
of Defense requires that the steel used meet certain physical characteristics known as military specification (MIL-S).
The Department of Defense requires that the contractor maintain documentation which proves that the steel used meet,s the MIL-S specification.
I.
Regularly, contractors need small pieces of MIL-S steel to complete a project for the' Navy.
Large steel mills often cannct ship small loads, therefore, contractors turn to steel warehouses such as Alloy and pVN to provide the. MIL-S steel.
J.
At times, Navy ~ contractors purchase metals from companies which warehouse steel and sell.small quantitles, such as Alloy and pVN.
K.'
When the Navy contractor purchases from others, it normally requires the suppliar to provide a certificate that the steel meets the MIL-S specifcations.
The certificate details the results of chemical and physical property teste performed at l
the mill (Certified Mill Test Report or "CMTR").
l L.
In addition to CMTRs, contractors sometimes require that another examination be done by an independent surveyor (American Burer.u'of Shipping or " ABS") of the steel being purchased to determine if it meets military sp9pifi.ca,tions.
ABS prepares a report (ABS report) certifying that the pu[veyor had examined a piece of steel.at the warehouse and compared it to the manufacturer's CMTR and found the steel to be s described on the CMTR.
3 e
w.,.---.,
,_.--.,....m
M.
Defonse contractors sometimes roquir'o an
, ultrasonic test of the steel to insure that the steel contains no i
serious flaws which would wesken them.
The results of the test are recorded on a document called an ultrasonic test report, which is maintained by the defense contractor.
N.
When a defense contractor purchases steel from a l
warehouse (as described above in paragraph I), it obtains a document from the warehouse known as a Certificate of Conformance which is a certification by the warehouse that the steel being supplied meets or exceeds the requirements of the Department of Defense.
O.
The Navy regularly requires.that all steel used to repair N6vy ships or to make military.. equipment meets militar,y specifications.
However, there is a procedure by which the Navy may authorise a contractor to use commercial grade steel.
In these cases once the defense contractor is notified by the supplier that a substitution le being made, the contractor must i
soek approval from the Navy to use the non-military specification steel.
The Navy may choose to accept or reject the substitution.

defendants LOUIS MIKOSH WILLIAM LANZA THOMAS SYMS HAMILTON VAZQUEZ DEAN LANZA ALLOY k CARBON STEEL, INC.
and i
MEREDITH CORPORATION, PRESSURE VESSEL NUCLEAR STEELS did knowingly and willfully conspire, cambine, confederate and agree with each other and others to commit offenses against the United States, that is, to violate Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1001 and 2, in that the defendants did knowingly and willfully make and use and cause to be made and used false, fictitious and fraudulent statements and representations and did make and use an'd cause to be made and used, false writings and documents in an effort to pass along commercial grade steel as military specification steel.
3.
1t was further part of said conspiracy that the defendants caused non-conforming steel to be shipped to contractors, knowing full well that this non-conforming steel would be passed along ultimately to the United States Department i
of Defense and United States Navy as military specification steel.
4.
It was further part of said conspir,acy phat the-l defendants improperly substituted commercial grade styel for military specification steel on purchase orders by contractors calling for military specification steel.
. i h
4 5.
It was furthor part of said conspiracy that tho
-. defendants falsely marked and stenciled steel to make it appear that commercial grade steel was military specification steel.
6.
It was further part of said conspiracy that the defendants created false documentation bearing the letterhead of various companies to further make it appear that thh steel they were providing to contractors was military specification steel, when, in truth and in fact, those steel manufacturers did not produce military specification steel.
7 ~.
It was further part of said condpiracy thet the defendants' falsely altered manufacturer issued Certified Mill Test Reports to make it appear that the steel'being providpd to the contractors was military specification steel, when in. truth and,in L
fact, the steel provided was commercial grade steel..
l 8.
It was further part of said conspiracy that the i
defendants caused-fraudulent test certificates to be prepared shich falsely certified that the steel being provided.to the l
contractors and ultimately to the Navy had been tested and had l
passed the chemical and physical composition specifications-I' required for militcry specification steel when, in truth and in l
fact, the tests had not been performed.

i
. tho' contractors m]t or onceodad the roquiromants for the steel ordered when, in truth and in fact, the steel did not' conform to the orders.

It was further part of said conspiracy that the defendants had false American Bureau of Shipping reports prepared which stated that an ABS surveyor examined a specifi,c piece of steel against the manufacturer's Certified Mill Test Report and found the the steel to be es. described on the CMTR when in truth and in fact, ABS never performed the examination.
11.
It-was further part of ssid conspiracy that the defendants, by providing false and fraudulent documentation to the contractors did'cause those contractors to fail.to notify the Navy E
that non-military specification steel was.being used for repair of Navy-ships and other Navy equipment.
12.
It was further part of said conspiracy that in order to obtain payment from the contractors, the defendants submitted false and fraudulent documentation to contractors, along with-false and fraudulent invoices amounting to approximately $52,093, knowing full well that the contractors would ultimately pass along-this documentation to the United States Navy, as proof that the steel provided was of military specification and in full conformity with the steel ordered.
4 13.
It was further part of said conspiracy phat the defendants accepted payment in the amount of ppproximately $52,093 for the steel the defendants had provided to the contractors which

Docket No. 99901129-89-01 Dear Mr. Brach.
This is to request an extension of timo to respond to your letter dated July 21, 1989, which enclosed Inspection Report No. 99901129/89-01, relating to the NRC inspections of Meredith Corporation, Pressure Vessel Nuclear Steels
("PVN") conducted on 11/2-4/88 and 2/t-3/89.
As you know, the NRC conducted an odditional inspection of Neredith on July 17-18, 1989.
At that time and during previous discussions with PVN personnel, the NRC, learned informally of PVN's responses to the two non-conforhances identified in Inspection Report 99901129/89-01, through its inspector Ray Citimberg and his colleagues.
Unfortunately, due to vacation schedules and the size of our staff, we will be unable to prepare and submit our formal written response to you until September 15, 1989.
We believe good cause exists for granting this modest extension since the NRC has recently conducted an extensive re-inspection of PVN, and is actually aware of PVN's long-standing and continuing efforts to comply with all applicable NRC and ASME code requirements.
If there are any questions I can answer prior to the submission of our formal response, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely yours, I'
