On September 27, 2022, Congress was notified by congressional
certification transmittal number 22-0L of the addition of the following
MDE items: thirty-one (31) Multifunctional Information Distribution
Systems with Joint Tactical Radio Systems (MIDS JTRS); thirty-two (32)

correction to the previously notified ``twenty-one (21) F100-GE-129D
Engines or F100-PW229EEP Engines (16 installed, 5 spares)'' to
``twenty-one (21) F110-GE-129D Engines or F100-PW229EEP Engines (16
installed, 5 spares);'' there is currently no GE aircraft engine
designated as F100. The total net cost of MDE increased by $0.06
billion to $2.45 billion. The estimated total case value increased to
$4.27 billion.
This transmittal notifies the possible replacement of up to four

(4) F-16 D Block 70 aircraft. The total number of F-16 Block 70
aircraft in the potential sale does not change remaining sixteen (16).
The F-16 D replacements will result in a net increase in MDE value of
$0.03 billion, resulting in a revised MDE value of $2.48 billion. The
total estimated case value will increase to $4.30 billion.
(iv) Significance: This notification is being provided as the
replacement MDE items were not enumerated in the original notification.
The proposed articles will improve Jordan's ability to train its F-16
Block 70 pilots while continuing modernization of the Jordanian fighter
aircraft fleet and supporting operational requirements associated with
regional U.S.-coalition goals.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping
to improve the security of a Major Non-NATO Ally that is an important
force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The Sensitivity of Technology
Statement contained in the original notification applies to items
reported here.
The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
