This book was released on 1984 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade offsets involve shared manufacturing by a foreign government or other arrangements aimed at 'offsetting' part of the cost of a weapon system purchased from the United States. Various government and private industry officials have expressed concern about the increased use and possible consequences of offsets in foreign military sales. GAO was asked to review the policies, responsibilities, and data bases of federal agencies regarding these offset arrangements. This report contains information on each of these areas. It also suggests that the Congress may wish to direct the administration to institute a policy to resist offset demands by foreign governments purchasing military goods from the United States when U.S. assistance is provided. GAO believes that foreign military sales credits or grants should not be used directly or indirectly to expand the industrial base of a foreign country at the expense of the U.S. industrial base and U.S. jobs. Exceptions to this general rule might be made for foreign policy reasons.

Book excerpt: United States defense firms have increasingly encountered demands from their foreign buyers to provide compensation for selecting U.S. suppliers. These quid pro quo transactions also known as offsets compensate the buyers for the economic damage caused by purchasing costly U.S. defense equipment. While these offsets may appear to be solely a form of price cuffing the motives of the foreign buyers can be varied. The behavior of these buyers can be explained by economic incentives ranging from labor market distortions and desires for foreign investment to the need for international financing. In most cases it appears that offset transactions are a form of commercial policy that the buying governments use to address domestic problems. Defense industry personnel will likely encounter offset transactions and will benefit from a better understanding of the buyers motivations.

This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research is to investigate the impact that Foreign Military Sales (FMS) policy can have on the preservation of the Defense Industrial Base. A survey is utilized to gather information from five of the top ten defense contractors. This study concludes that FMS policy will continue to be shaped by U.S. foreign policy. The study identifies how the defense industry has been affected by recent drawdowns and it describes arms transfers as an instrument of foreign policy based on United States national security interests. Additionally, offset agreements are analyzed as a contributory factor to the globalization of the arms industry. The study also identifies strategies the Government and the defense industry should use to facilitate the preservation of the Defense Industrial Base. The study recommends the Government review, streamline and liberalize arms transfer procedures. The Government can maintain the Defense Industrial Base by actively and aggressively supporting industry in the arms transfer process.

For the last seventy years, the sale of American equipment to partner nations has formed the foundation of many U.S. security relationships. Foreign military sales (FMS) represent a key tool in the American foreign policy that provides needed security assistance to partners and allies around the world. The sale of U.S. hardware bolsters the American industrial base. It creates thousands of high-paying, high skill jobs while reducing the cost of innovative technologies that keep the U.S. and its allies one step ahead of our enemies. They enable our allies to defend themselves and help forge strong bilateral bonds with the U.S. In 2016 alone, the U.S. sold $33.6 billion in military equipment and training packages. The FMS process, however, can be slow and complex, leaving partner nations and American industry frustrated. The FMS process is administered by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency and guided by the State Department. Congress has oversight of this crucial and sensitive program. This provides effective and transparent check on this key tool of U.S. foreign policy. Foreign military sales provide others countries with deadly weapons of war. The U.S. has negotiatied billions in FMS deals with Saudi Arabia, a partner in the war against the Islamic State and other radical groups in the Middle East. The U.S. must ensure that the countries to which it sells high-quality military equipment share our interests and values.
