Fiscal Year 1999:
"Section 655" Report
Foreign Military Sales  Direct Commercial Sales
The United States administration is
required by Congress to prepare an annual report on military assistance, military exports,
and military imports known as the "Section 655" report (after the section of the
Foreign Assistance Act which requires it). This report provides the most detailed
official accounting available of specific U.S. weapons systems exported or licensed for
export to governments or private buyers around the world.
The Pentagon and
the State Department each prepare their own portion of the 655
report. All sales and grants of military equipment and training administered by the
DOD's Defense Security Cooperation Agency are included in the Pentagon's section,
including drawdowns, excess defense articles, international military education and
training, and foreign military sales (FMS). The State Department is in charge of direct
commercial sales (DCS); its section includes only DCS licenses authorized, not actual
weapons deliveries.
Most of the report for fiscal year
1999 (1 Oct. 1998-30 Sept. 1999) is provided below. (The DCS portion only includes
the introduction and information on manufacturing and technical assistance at this point.
The full report will be posted by either the ASMP or the State Department in the near
future). We are only able to post the report in pdf format; to view, Adobe Acrobat Reader
can be downloaded for free by clicking the icon below. The 655 report is now required
by law to be posted online (Title XIII, Section 1306(b) of the FY2000 omnibus spending
bill), but neither the State nor Defense Departments have done so to date.
 Foreign Military Sales (FMS): New and used weapons, spare parts, and
related services purchased directly from the US government by foreign governments. The
weapons may be new production, which the Pentagon contracts with the manufacturer for, or
from used stocks.
