POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia--Support Services

    The Government of Saudi Arabia has requested a possible sale to 
provide three years of support services for the Facilities Security 
Forces- Training and Advisory Group (FSF-TAG) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 
in support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Interior (MOI). 
The support will include technical assistance and advisory support 
salaries, housing, office equipment, training, maintenance, vehicles, 
travel, furniture, and other related support. The estimated cost is $80 
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 an 
important force for political stability in the Middle East.
    This proposed sale will provide the continuation of FSF-TAG and its 
ability to provide services to Saudi Arabia's MOI in support of its 
critical infrastructure protection efforts. The proposed sale conveys 
the U.S.'s continued commitment to Saudi Arabia's security and 
strengthens our strategic partnership.
    The proposed sale will not alter the basic military balance in the 
region.
    There is no prime contractor associated with this proposed sale. 
There are no known offset agreements in connection with this potential 
sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale requires the assignment of 
U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Saudi Arabia. At 
present, there are approximately 95 U.S. Government personnel and 
contractor representatives in country supporting FSF-TAG.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
