This change will be included in the automated version of the SAMM found on the DSCA Web Page as SAMM E-Change 84 and rescinds DSCA Policy 07-25, SAMM E-Change 82, "Assignment of Codes "B8" and "B9" for Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (ASFF) and Iraq Security Forces Fund (ISFF) Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs)." The change was needed to better facilitate execution of these programs.

The procedures for pseudo LOAs to be authorized and funded using ASFF and ISFF are similar to those found in SAMM, Chapter 11, C11.3., Counter-Narcotics Assistance National Defense Authorizations Acts, Sections 1004 and 1033 and originally provided under DSCA Policy 06-50; however, certain references to the Arms Export Control Act are revised. Attached are specific case preparation instructions, to include LOA notes, for these requirements using the ASFF and ISFF, which are available for obligation until 30 September 2008.

If you have questions concerning the attached guidance, please contact Ms. Kathy Robinson, STR/POL, kathy.robinson@dsca.mil, (703) 601-4368.
