respective Member of Congress by 

requesting access to and consenting to 

the disclosure of their records. 

The Creating Advanced Streamlined 

Electronic Services for Constituents Act 

of 2019 (CASES Act) was enacted to 

modernize and simplify the process by 

which individuals can request access to 

and consent to the disclosure of their 

personal records held by Federal 

agencies. This Act addresses the 

inefficiencies and inconsistencies that 

previously existed in obtaining written 

consent for information disclosure. 

Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 

individuals have the right to access their 

records and control the disclosure of 

their personal information. However, 

the traditional process of obtaining 

written consent was often cumbersome, 

requiring physical signatures and 

manual transmission of forms. This not 

only delayed the resolution of 

constituent inquiries but also created 

variability in how different Components 

within DoD handled these requests. The 

CASES Act mandates the use of 

electronic access and consent forms, 

which can be submitted digitally. By 

allowing digital submissions, the Act 

aims to streamline the process, reduce 

delays, and enhance the efficiency of 

government services.

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Morocco—Joint Stand Off Weapons 

(JSOW) 

The Government of Morocco has 

requested to buy forty (40) AGM–154C 

Joint Stand Off Weapons (JSOW). Also 

included are Dummy Air Training 

Missiles; Captive Flight Vehicles 

(CFVs); Free Flight Vehicles (FFVs); 

containers; mission planning, 

integration support, and testing; 

munitions storage security and training; 

weapon operational flight program 

software development; transportation, 

tools and test equipment; support 

equipment; spare and repair parts; 

publications and technical 

documentation; personnel training and 

training equipment; U.S. Government 

and contractor engineering and logistics 

support services; and other related 

elements of logistical and program 

support. The estimated total cost is $250 

million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the United States by helping to improve 

the security of a Major Non-NATO Ally 

that continues to be an important force 

for political stability and economic 

progress in North Africa. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Morocco’s capability to meet current 

and future threats. Morocco intends to 

use the missiles on its F–16, multi-role 

fighter aircraft and will provide 

enhanced capabilities in effective 

defense of critical sea lanes. The 

proposed sale of these missiles and 

support will increase the Royal 

Moroccan Air Force’s maritime 

partnership potential and align its 

capabilities with existing regional 

baselines. Morocco will have no 

difficulty absorbing these weapons 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 Missiles & Defense Company, 

Tucson, Arizona. There are no known 

offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require annual trips to Morocco 

involving U.S. Government and 

contractor representatives for technical 

reviews, support, and oversight for 

approximately seven (7) years. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 21–57 

Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of 

Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the 

Arms Export Control Act 

Annex 

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The AGM–154 Joint Stand Off 

Weapon (JSOW) is used by Navy, 

Marine Corps, and Air Force, and allows 

aircraft to attack well-defended targets 

in day, night, and adverse weather 

conditions. The AGM–154C carries a 

BROACH warhead. The BROACH 

warhead incorporates an advanced 

multi-stage warhead. The JSOW uses the 

Global Positioning System (GPS) Precise 

Positioning System (PPS), which 

provides for a more accurate capability 

than the commercial version of GPS. 

2. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET 

3. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the specific hardware and software 

elements, the information could be used 

to develop countermeasures that might 

reduce weapon system effectiveness or 

be used in the development of a system 

with similar or advanced capabilities. 

4. A determination has been made 

that Morocco can provide substantially 

the same degree of protection for the 

sensitive technology being released as 

the U.S. Government. This sale is 

necessary in furtherance of the U.S. 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives outlined in the Policy 

Justification. 

5. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

Government of Morocco.
