POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Poland--F-16 Follow-on Support

    The Government of Poland has requested to purchase follow-on 
support and sustainment services for its F-16 fleet to include aircraft 
maintenance; system and overhauls and upgrades; engine support; spare 
and repair parts; support and test equipment; publications and 
technical documentation; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, 
technical, and logistical support; and other related elements of 
program support. The estimated cost is $200 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. Poland continues to be an important force for 
political stability and economic progress in Central Europe.
    This potential sale will continue the sustainment of Poland's F-16 
capability. Poland will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment and 
support into its armed forces.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    Contracts will be awarded when necessary to provide the defense 
articles ordered if items ordered are not available from U.S. stock or 
are to be purchased further in the future. The potential prime 
contractors will be Harris Corporation of Melbourne, Florida; Boeing of 
Arlington, Virginia; UTC Aerospace Systems, ISR Systems of Charlotte, 
North Carolina; Lockheed Martin Missile and Fire Control of Orlando, 
Florida; Cubic Defense Applications of San Diego, California; L-3 
Communications of New York, New York; Lockheed Martin Aero of Fort 
Worth, Texas; Exelis Electronic of Clifton, New Jersey; Northrop 
Grumman Corporation of Falls Church, Virginia; Raytheon of Waltham, 
Massachusetts; Honeywell of Morris Plains, New Jersey; Booz Allen 
Hamilton of McLean, Virginia; and BAE Systems of Arlington, Virginia. 
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 Poland.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
