POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Israel--Caterpillar D9 Bulldozers
The Government of Israel has requested to buy D9R and D9T
Caterpillar bulldozers; spare and repair parts; corrosion protection;
publications and technical documentation; pre-delivery inspections;
U.S. Government and contractor support; technical and logistics support
services; storage; and other related elements of logistics and program
support. The estimated total cost is $295 million.
The U.S. is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to
U.S. national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a
strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale is
consistent with those objectives.
The proposed sale will improve Israel's capability to meet current
and future threats by improving the ability of the Israeli Ground
Forces to defend Israel's borders, vital infrastructure, and population
centers. Israel will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment 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 Caterpillar Inc., located in
Irving, TX. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any
offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any
offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser
and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Israel.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
