POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Pakistan—GRC43M Cutters
The Government of Pakistan has
requested the purchase of 8 43-meter
Global Response Cutters (GRC43M).
Each Cutter will be a mono-hull design
made of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP).
Also included in this sale: outfitted 8
25mm or 30mm Naval Gun Systems, 32
M2–HB .50 caliber machine guns, 32
7.62mm guns, 8 8-meter Rigid Inflatable
Boats, ballistic/armor protection of
critical spaces, command and control
equipment, communication equipment,
navigation equipment, support
equipment, spare and repair parts, tools
and test equipment, technical data and
publications, personnel training, U.S.
government and contractor engineering,
technical, and logistics support services,
and other related elements of logistics
and program support. The total
estimated cost is $350 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 country vital
to U.S. foreign policy and national
security goals in South Asia.
This sale will enhance Pakistan’s
ability to enforce the rule of law over its
coastal areas to safeguard seaborne
energy corridors, deter the outbreak of
piracy along the north Arabian Sea, and
curtail the trafficking of narcotics and
other illict goods. These vessels provide
the Pakistan Navy with the capability
for medium to long endurance coverage
of its 660 miles of coastline. Pakistan
will have no difficulty absorbing
GRC43M Cutters into its armed forces.
This sale will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be WSY,
Inc. in Port Angeles, Washington. There
are no known offset agreements
proposed in conjunction with this
potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require multiple trips by U.S.
Government and contractor
representatives to participate in program
and technical reviews plus training and
maintenance support in country, on a
short-term temporary basis, for a period
of no more than 60 months or until the
last Cutter is delivered to Pakistan and
integrated into their operating forces.

U.S.C., Appendix, as amended) and 41
CFR 102–3.50(c), established the
Committee.
The Committee is a statutory Federal
advisory committee that provides
independent advice and
recommendations to the Secretary of
Defense or Deputy Secretary of Defense,
through the Under Secretary of Defense
for Personnel and Readiness
(USD(P&R)), on matters relating to the
conduct of wage surveys and the
establishment of wage schedules for all
appropriated fund and nonappropriated fund wage areas of bluecollar employees within DoD.

All members of the Committee are

DoD, when necessary and consistent
with the Committee’s mission and DoD

Establishment of subcommittees is
based upon a written determination, to
include terms of reference, by the

the Committee’s sponsor.
Such subcommittees will not work
independently of the Committee and
must report all of their

groups have no authority to make
decisions and recommendations,
verbally or in writing, on behalf of the

verbally or in writing, on behalf of the
Committee, directly to the DoD or any
Federal officer or employee.

Deputy Secretary of Defense will
appoint subcommittee members to a
