POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Greece--Follow-on Support for F100-PW-229 Engine Maintenance

    The Government of Greece has requested to buy parts and services to 
support follow-on depot level maintenance and sustainment of F100-PW-
229 engines to include spare, repair parts, and accessories; repair and 
return services; publications and technical documentation; U.S. 
Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistical 
services; and other related elements of logistical and program support. 
The overall total estimated value is $233 million.
    This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national 
security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the 
security of a NATO ally, which is an important partner for political 
stability and economic progress in Europe.
    The proposed sale will improve Greece's capability to meet current 
and future threats by providing greater depth of repair capability for 
engines on their F-16 Block 52+/52+ Advanced aircraft, sustaining their 
weapon system, and improving aircraft capability rates. Greece has 
demonstrated a continued commitment to modernizing its military and 
will have no difficulty absorbing this additional sustainment support 
into its armed forces.
    The proposed sale of these services will not alter the basic 
military balance in the region.
    There are no principal contractors for this proposed sale. 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 outside the United States.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
