I just flipped through the State Dept. website but didn't find an obvious office to call. My contact with my Senator's office gave me an office and number at the time so I simply dialed it. Hunting for the right cubical at State is rather like searching for that proverbial needle in a landfill. Federal politicians have fleets of staff that answer these types of arcane questions. Make them earn your money smile

BTW, i called 5-6 BATF agents in three different regional offices, and none of them were sure, and they could not figure out why they could not find a definitive answer until finally a guy in the Carolinas fessed up and said - "it ain't our call". But he wasn't sure whose it was - that's when I got the idea of putting a senator's bloodhound on it. Took about 12 hrs.
