POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United 
States--Contract Logistics Support for Surveillance Radar Program (SRP)

    The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the 
United States (TECRO) has requested to buy follow-on Contractor 
Logistics Support (CLS) for the Surveillance Radar Program (SRP); 
program management; minor modifications and upgrades; spares and 
repair/return parts; publications and technical documentation; and U.S. 
Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistics support 
services, studies and surveys, as well as other related elements of 
logistical and program support. The estimated total cost is $665.4 
million.
    This proposed sale is consistent with U.S. 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 to maintain a credible 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 proposed sale will improve the recipient's capability to meet 
current and future threats by ensuring continued operability of its 
Surveillance Radar Program (SRP), which provides improved situational 
awareness and threat warning capabilities critical to regional 
security. The recipient will have no difficulty absorbing these 
services into its armed forces.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The principal contractor will be Raytheon Technologies, Andover, 
MA. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with 
this potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale may require assignment of U.S. 
contractors to recipient in support of the technical refresh actions 
during the sustainment contract. The number of contractors and duration 
of assignment will be determined during contract negotiations. It is 
anticipated that this sale will not require assignment of additional 
U.S. Government representatives.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
