Policy Justification

Iraq--M1A1 Abrams Tank Ammunition

    The Government of Iraq has requested a possible sale of 10,000 M831 
120mm High-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) munitions, 10,000 M865 120mm 
Kinetic Energy Warheads (KEW), 10,000 M865 120mm KEW-A1, and 16,000 
M830 120mm HEAT-MP-T tank ammunition. Also included are U.S. Government 
and contractor technical and logistics support services, and other 
related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated cost 
is $600 million.
    This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and 
national security of the United States by helping to improve the 
security of a strategic partner. This proposed sale directly supports 
the Iraqi government and serves the interests of the Iraqi people and 
the United States.
    The proposed sale of the ammunition and support will advance Iraq's 
efforts to develop an integrated ground defense capability to support a 
strong national defense. This will enable the Iraqi Government to 
sustain its efforts to establish and maintain stability.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The prime contractor will be General Dynamics-Ordnance Tactical 
Systems in St Petersburg, Florida. There are no known offset agreements 
proposed in connection with this potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the 
assignment of U.S. Government and contractor representatives to Iraq.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
