SUBJECT: ECUADOR: CLEARED TO PROVIDE PRICE QUOTE REGARDING
POTENTIAL GOE PURCHASE OF F-16S

REF: QUITO 216

Classified By: WHA/AS Thomas Shannon. Reasons: 1.4 (A),(B),and (D).

(C) Reftel requested Washington guidance regarding providing
a price quote for the possible purchase of 24 F-16 C/D Block
50 Mid-Life Upgrade (MLU) aircraft by the Ecuadorian Air
Force (FAE). State, DOD/OSD, and NSC concur that it is
appropriate to provide the GOE a quote, and Post may initiate
the process. However, this should not be construed as
interagency guidance or agreement that F-16s should be sold
to Ecuador--simply that providing a price quote is acceptable
at this time.
