United Arab Emirates--F117-PW-100 Engines
    The Government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has requested a 
proposed sale of 2 spare F117-PW-100

[[Page 49432]]

engines in support of the UAE C-17 GLOBEMASTER III aircraft. The 
estimated cost is $35 million.
    The 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 that has been, and continues to be, an 
important force for political stability and economic progress in the 
Middle East.
    The proposed sale will improve the UAE's readiness and capability 
to meet current and future strategic airlift requirements. The UAE will 
use its C-17s to provide humanitarian aid in the Middle East and Africa 
region and to support its troops in coalition operations. The C-17 will 
provide a heavy airlift capability and complement day-to-day operations 
of the UAE's existing C-130H fleet.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The prime contractor will be Pratt and Whitney in East Hartford, 
Connecticut. 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 the UAE.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
