MDE items: thirty-one (31) Multifunctional Information Distribution

Engines or F100-PW229EEP Engines (16 installed, 5 spares)'' to 
``twenty-one (21) F110-GE-129D Engines or F100-PW229EEP Engines (16 
installed, 5 spares);'' there is currently no GE aircraft engine 
designated as F100. The total net cost of MDE increased by $0.06 
billion to $2.45 billion. The estimated total case value increased to 
$4.27 billion.
    This transmittal notifies the possible replacement of up to four

(4) F-16 D Block 70 aircraft. The total number of F-16 Block 70 
aircraft in the potential sale does not change remaining sixteen (16). 
The F-16 D replacements will result in a net increase in MDE value of 
$0.03 billion, resulting in a revised MDE value of $2.48 billion. The 
total estimated case value will increase to $4.30 billion.

Block 70 pilots while continuing modernization of the Jordanian fighter 
aircraft fleet and supporting operational requirements associated with 
regional U.S.-coalition goals.

policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping 
to improve the security of a Major Non-NATO Ally that is an important 
force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
    (vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The Sensitivity of Technology 
Statement contained in the original notification applies to items 
reported here.
    The highest level of classification of defense articles, 
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
