Defense Minister Wellington Koo says, he's hoping for a swift signing of Letters of Offer and Acceptance for three items of arms purchases from the US.
Those offers are set to expire mid-March.
Koo says, he hopes the legislature will quickly authorize the Defense ministry to sign the letters even if the special defense bill cannot be passed before the deadline.
The Executive Yuan in November proposed a special defense budget bill worth 1.25 trillion NT for defense spending over the next 8 years, and those 3 items are part of the bill.
It won't be reviewed by the Legislature until March 6th.
