Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES

Equitable Cost Sharing Questioned

On NATO's Airborne Early Warning

And Control Program

The willingness of the United States to

--make extraordinary cost concessions,

--accept caveats to a Multilateral Memo-
randum of Understanding which could
result in either program reductions or
additional program cost increases being
absorbed by the United States, and

--agree to separate projects as com-
pensation for program participation,

raise serious questions as to whether equitable
cost sharing on NATO's Airborn Early Warn-
ing and Control (AEW&C) program is being
achieved.

Also, this situation brings into question how
much the United States will pay to complete
the program and how far it should go uni-
laterally to ensure the program's success.
