The Honorable Les Aspin

United States House of Representatives

Dear Congressman Aspin:

     Subject: Pricing Data on the Proposed Sale of
               AWACS to Saudi Arabia (ID-81-65)

     In your letter of August 26, 1981, you asked that the
General Accounting Office review the pricing data associated
with the proposed sale of E-3A Airborne Warning and Control
Systems (AWACS) and give you a judgment on whether the U.S.
military would be charging the Government of Saudi Arabia
a full pro rata share of non-recurring costs.

     Department of Defense officials advised us that the
estimated value of the sale, $5.8 billion, announced by the
White House on August 24, 1981, was based on preliminary
computations and includes:
                                         (in millions)


5 aircraft
