The State
Department's April 2002 FY2003 Congressional Budget Justification
for Foreign Operations reported that transfer of grant Excess Defense
Articles to Argentina "continues our policy of supporting Argentina,
as a major non- NATO Ally, at a time when fiscal austerity has drastically
shrunk Argentine defense spending. It enables Argentina to continue its
productive cooperation with the United States and NATO in international
peacekeeping operations. Grant EDA helps the GOA [Government of Argentina]
obtain NATO-compatible equipment, such as transport and communications
equipment, improving interoperability with NATO forces in peacekeeping
operations."1 Similar language
has appeared in subsequent requests.
As the United
States' single designated "Major
Non-NATO Ally" in the hemisphere, Argentina is granted priority
delivery of Excess Defense Articles. Argentina has been Latin America's
largest user of U.S. EDA.2
