A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Egypt of certain defense articles and services.
This bill (SJRES 35) blocks a proposed U.S. military sale to Egypt involving specific defense equipment. It prohibits the transfer of 12 C-130 Hercules aircraft, spare engines, missile warning systems, radar equipment, secure communications gear, and related training/support services. The resolution uses Congress's authority under the Arms Export Control Act to disapprove the sale, which was formally submitted to Congress on January 31, 2022. The bill directly affects the U.S. government (by halting the sale) and the Egyptian government (as the intended recipient).
