support services, and other related elements of logistical and program

increasing the total program value to $451 million.
    (iv) Significance: This notification is being provided for an 
additional 3.5 years of training for the PEACE CARVIN II detachment at

long U.S.-Singapore partnership. By maintaining this relationship, the 
U.S. ensures it will have a well-trained and more interoperable partner 
to contribute to regional stability in Southeast Asia. Additionally, 
Singapore will have the ability to deploy to other regions to support 
U.S. and Singapore goals as they have demonstrated numerous times with 
other aircraft deployments in support of coalition operations.
    (v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign 
policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve 
the security of a friendly country that is an important force for 
economic progress in Southeast Asia. The continuation of this training 
program will enable Singapore to develop mission-ready and experienced 
F-16 pilots and enhance operational interoperability with U.S. forces.
    (vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The Sensitivity of Technology 
statement contained in the original notification applies to items 
reported here.
