As long as you don't claim that these items are "banned" >per se, I think you're okay.. My understanding is that this list *isn't* 'a list of items that have at one time or another been part of a contract the 661 Committee has blocked or disallowed.' Rather it was compiled by its author by striking out, from a list of goods, those items which *he* considered to be food, medicine or (in the wording of 687) 'supplies for essential civlian needs.' The list is therefore *not* a record of the behaviour (past or present) of the Sanctions Committee.
