Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to Section 36(d) of the Arms Export Control Act, I am transmitting, herewith, certification of a proposed Manufacturing License Agreement with Israel.

The transaction described in the attached certification involves the transfer to Israel of technical information and manufacturing assistance for the production of AN/APG-68(V)XM Radar components, subassemblies and test equipment for the F-16 New Fighter Aircraft Program of Israel and Greece.

The United States Government is prepared to license the export of these items having taken into account political, military, economic, human rights, and arms control considerations.

More detailed information is contained in the formal certification which, though unclassified, contains business information submitted to the Department of State by the applicant, publication of which could cause competitive harm to the United States firm concerned.

  Sincerely,

Barbara Larkin,

Assistant Secretary, Legislative Affairs.
