    The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the 
United States (TECRO) has requested to buy a Cooperative Logistics 
Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA) Foreign Military Sales Order II 
(FMSO II) to support the purchase of spare and repair parts for wheeled 
vehicles, weapons, and other related elements of program support. The 
estimated total cost is $108 million.
    This proposed sale is consistent with U.S. law and policy as 
expressed in Public Law 96-8.
    This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national 
security objectives of the United States (U.S.) 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 contribute to the sustainment of the 
recipient's vehicles, small arms, combat weapon systems, and logistical 
support items, enhancing its ability to meet current and future 
threats. The proposed sale will contribute to the recipient's goal of 
maintaining its military capability while further enhancing 
interoperability with the U.S. The recipient 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.
    The principal contractor(s) will be determined from approved 
vendors determined by the Defense Logistics Agency to provide these 
parts for the U.S. military. 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 the recipient.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
