POLICY JUSTIFICATION

    The Government of Jordan has requested a possible sale of two 35 
Meter Coastal Patrol Boats with two MSI Defence Systems LTD SEAHAWK A2 
DS30M-30mm Gun Weapon Systems with MK44 Bushmaster Cannons, 1,140 
rounds of 30mm Target-Practice-Tracer (TP-T) ammunition, 4,020 rounds 
of 30mm High Explosive Incendiary with Tracer (HEI-T) ammunition, 60 
rounds of 30mm inert dummy ammunition and two chaff systems, spare and 
repair parts, support equipment, publications and technical 
documentation, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. 
Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistics support 
services, and other related elements of logistical and program support. 
The estimated cost is $80 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 partner which has been, and continues to be, an important 
force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East. 
It is vital to the U.S. national interest that Jordan develops and 
maintains a strong and ready self-defense capability and enhances its 
ability to protect its territorial waters.
    Jordan will have no difficulty absorbing these boats 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 is undetermined at this time and will be 
determined during negotiations. There are no known offset agreements 
proposed in connection with this potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will require the temporary 
assignment of approximately two U.S. Government or contractor 
representatives in Jordan on an intermittent basis over the life of the 
case.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
