requesting access to and consenting to
the disclosure of their records.
The Creating Advanced Streamlined
Electronic Services for Constituents Act
of 2019 (CASES Act) was enacted to
modernize and simplify the process by
which individuals can request access to
and consent to the disclosure of their
personal records held by Federal
agencies. This Act addresses the
inefficiencies and inconsistencies that
previously existed in obtaining written
consent for information disclosure.
Under the Privacy Act of 1974,
individuals have the right to access their
records and control the disclosure of
their personal information. However,
the traditional process of obtaining
written consent was often cumbersome,
requiring physical signatures and
manual transmission of forms. This not
only delayed the resolution of
constituent inquiries but also created
variability in how different Components

within DoD handled these requests. The
CASES Act mandates the use of
electronic access and consent forms,
which can be submitted digitally. By
allowing digital submissions, the Act
aims to streamline the process, reduce
delays, and enhance the efficiency of
government services.

fighter aircraft and will provide
enhanced capabilities in effective
defense of critical sea lanes. The
proposed sale of these missiles and

Moroccan Air Force’s maritime
partnership potential and align its
capabilities with existing regional
baselines. Morocco will have no
difficulty absorbing these weapons 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
Raytheon Missiles & Defense Company,
Tucson, Arizona. There are no known
offset agreements proposed in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require annual trips to Morocco

approximately seven (7) years.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

to develop countermeasures that might
reduce weapon system effectiveness or
be used in the development of a system
with similar or advanced capabilities.
4. A determination has been made

sensitive technology being released as
the U.S. Government. This sale is

objectives outlined in the Policy
Justification.
5. All defense articles and services
listed in this transmittal have been
