POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Iraq--Ammunition

    The Government of Iraq has requested a possible sale of 5,000 81mm 
High Explosive Mortar Ammunition, 684,000 M203 40mm High Explosive 
Ammunition, 532,000 MK19 40mm High Explosive Dual Purpose Ammunition, 
and 40,000 155mm High Explosives. Also includes small arms ammunition, 
spare and repair parts, support equipment, publications and technical 
documentation, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. 
Government and contractor technical and logistics support services, and 
other related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated 
cost is $395 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 strategic partner. This proposed sale directly supports 
the Government of Iraq and serves the interests of the people of Iraq 
and the United States.
    This proposed sale of additional ammunition is critical in 
providing continued combat power capability as Iraq continues its fight 
against an organized insurgency of extremists in Iraq. Iraq will have 
no difficulty absorbing this additional ammunition into its armed 
forces.
    The proposed sale of this additional ammunition will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The principal contractors will be American Ordinance in Middletown, 
Iowa and AMTEC in Janesville, Wisconsin. There are no known offset 
agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.
    Implementation of this sale will not require U.S. Government 
representatives or contractors to travel to Iraq.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
