          THE PROPOSED SALE OF E-3A AIRBORNE WARNING

     AND CONTROL SYSTEM (AWACS) AIRCRAFT TO SAUDI ARABIA


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     At your request we evaluated the recent U.S. initiatives to

obtain access to foreign military facilities in support of South-

west Asia contingencies. The results of our review are contained

in a classified report issued to this Committee on September 15th.

We are pleased to discuss the results of this review in conjunction

with our study of the proposed sale of AWACS aircraft to Saudi

Arabia done at the request of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

It should be noted that we in GAO take no position on whether or

not the Congress should approve the sale.
