POLICY JUSTIFICATION

NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA)--C-17 Maintenance

    The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Support and 
Procurement Agency as Lead Nation has requested to buy contractor 
logistics support for the C-17 Strategic Airlift Capability program; 
United Stats (U.S.) Government and contractor engineering, technical, 
and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics 
and program support. The estimated total cost is $150 million.
    This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and 
national security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of 
NATO partners that are a force for political stability and economic 
progress in the North Atlantic region.
    The proposed sale will improve NATO's capability to meet current 
and future threats by improving and maintaining a flexible strategic 
airlift capability. The multinational Heavy Airlift Wing already has C-
17s in its inventory and will have no difficulty absorbing these 
additional services into its armed services.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The principal contractor will be The Boeing Company, Arlington, VA. 
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 NATO.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
