Policy Justification

Peru--Refurbishment of Two C-130E Aircraft
    The Government of Peru has requested a possible sale for the 
modification and refurbishment of two C-130E aircraft being provided as 
Excess Defense Articles (grant EDA notification submitted separately) 
to include: aircraft ferry, spare and repair parts, support equipment, 
personnel training and training equipment, publications and technical 
data, U.S. Government and contractor engineering and logistics support 
services, and other related elements of logistics support. The 
estimated cost is $74 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 friendly country that has been, and continues to be, a 
close partner in countering illicit drug trafficking, a force for 
economic progress in South America, and a proponent of hemispheric 
cooperation.
    This proposed sale will enable the Peruvian Air Force to modernize 
its aging aircraft and enhance its capacity to support humanitarian 
efforts in the region. Peru occupies a strategic location in South 
America, and the sale of refurbishment support for its EDA grant C-130 
aircraft will improve Peru's efforts in conducting maritime 
interdiction operations, improve its ability to execute counter-
narcotics and counterterrorism capabilities, and ensure Peru's overall 
ability to maintain the integrity of its borders. Additionally, this 
transfer will enhance the Peruvian Military's ability to support 
Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HA/DR) efforts. Peru, 
which already has C-130 and L-100 aircraft in its inventory, will have 
no difficulty absorbing these additional aircraft into its armed 
forces.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The prime contractor for the refurbishment is undetermined at this 
time. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with 
this potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the 
assignment of any additional U.S. Government and contractor 
representatives to Peru.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
