POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Brunei--C-130J Aircraft

    The Government of Brunei has requested a sale of 1 C-130J aircraft, 
6 AE2100D3 turboprop engines (4 installed and 2 spares), Government 
Furnished Equipment, communication equipment, spare and repair parts, 
support and test equipment, publications and technical documentation, 
personnel training and training equipment, U.S. Government and 
contractor engineering, technical and logistics support services, and 
other related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated 
cost is $343 million.
    This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and 
national security of the United States by helping to strengthen the 
U.S.-Brunei relationship, which has been a force for regional stability 
and economic progress in Southeast Asia.
    This proposed sale of a C-130J to Brunei will provide a critical 
capability to assist in Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief 
missions. The aircraft will enable Brunei to provide aid and assistance 
in greater capacities to regional allies and partners in need. The 
aircraft will also provide the ability to execute maritime patrol 
missions and contribute to search and rescue missions in the region. 
Brunei should have no difficulty absorbing this aircraft into its 
inventory.
    The proposed sale of this aircraft and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin-Aerospace in 
Marietta, Georgia. There are no known offset agreements 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 Brunei.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
