POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Iraq--M1151A1 Up-Armored High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicles 
(HMMWVs)

    The Government of Iraq has requested a possible sale of 200 M1151A1 
Up-Armored High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs) with 
M2 .50 cal. machine gun mounts, commercial radios, communication 
equipment, repair and spare parts, publications and technical 
documentation, tools and test equipment, personnel training and 
training equipment, U.S. Government and contractor logistics and 
technical support services, and other related elements of logistics 
support. The estimated cost is $101 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 Government of Iraq and serves the interests of the people of Iraq 
and the United States.
    The proposed sale of the M1151 HMMWVs would facilitate progress 
towards increasing Iraq's ability to defend its oil infrastructure 
against terrorist attacks. Iraq will use the HMMWVs to increase the 
safety, effectiveness, and self-reliance of the Iraqi Army's Oil 
Pipeline Security Division. Iraq will have no difficulty absorbing 
these additional HMMWVs into its armed forces.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The principal contractor will be AM General in South Bend, Indiana. 
There are no known offset agreements proposed in connections with this 
potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will not require U.S. 
Government or contractor representatives to travel to Iraq.
