POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United 
States--Foreign Military Sales Order II (FMSO II)
    The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the 
United States has requested a Foreign Military Sales Order II (FMSO II) 
to provide funds for blanket order requisitions, under the Cooperative 
Logistics Supply Agreement (CLSSA) for spare parts in support of F-16A/
B, F-5E/F, C-130H, and Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF) aircraft. The 
estimated cost is $52 million.
    This sale is consistent with United States law and policy as 
expressed in Public Law 96-8.
    This proposed sale serves U.S. national, economic, and security 
interests by supporting the recipient's continuing efforts to modernize 
its armed forces and enhance its defensive capability. The proposed 
sale will help improve the security of the recipient and assist in 
maintaining political stability, military balance, and economic 
progress in the region.
    The recipient requires continuing procurement and repair of 
aircraft spare parts through the USG's FMSO II program in order to 
sustain and keep flyable its military fleets of F-16, F-5, C-130, and 
IDF aircraft. The spare parts to be procured and/or repaired under this 
proposed sale are critical for maintaining their fighter and transport 
aircraft in operational condition.
    Procurement of these items will be from many contractors providing 
similar items to the U.S. forces. There are no known offset agreements 
proposed in connection with this potential sale.
    Implementation of this sale will not require the assignment of any 
additional U.S. Government personnel or contractor representatives to 
the recipient.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
