POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Iraq--Follow-On Support and Maintenance of Multiple Aircraft Systems

    The Government of Iraq has requested a possible sale of follow-on 
support and maintenance of multiple aircraft systems that include TC-
208s, Cessna 172s, AC-208s, T-6As, and King Air 350s. Included are 
ground stations, repair and return, spare and repair parts, support 
equipment, publications and technical data, personnel training and 
training equipment, U.S. Government and contractor engineering, 
logistics, and technical support services, and other related elements 
of logistics support. The estimated cost is $675 million.
    This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and 
national security of the United States by helping to improve the 
security of a friendly country. This proposed sale directly supports 
the Iraq government and serves the interests of the Iraqi people and 
the U.S.
    The proposed sale will help the Iraqi government to maintain 
indigenous Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance, training, and 
counter insurgency/counter-terrorism capabilities. As the drawdown of 
coalition forces continues, the Iraqi Air Force continues to develop a 
force capable of assuming the lead in providing for the security of the 
Iraqi people. The follow-on support will ensure the operational 
capability of the Iraqi Air Force and will allow it to sustain itself 
in its efforts to establish stability in Iraq.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The prime contractors will be Hawker Beechcraft Corporation in 
Wichita, Kansas; Flight Safety International in Flushing, New York; 
Alliant Techsystems in Magna, Utah; L-3 Communications in New York, New 
York; and Integration Innovation, Inc. in Huntsville, Alabama. There 
are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this 
potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the 
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor 
representatives to Australia.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
