A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia of certain defense articles.
SJRES 31 is a joint resolution that would block a specific foreign military sale to Saudi Arabia. The sale, submitted to Congress under the Arms Export Control Act, includes 280 advanced air-to-air missiles, 596 missile launchers, and related support equipment. If enacted, the resolution would prohibit the U.S. government from proceeding with this transaction. This directly affects the U.S. government's ability to transfer these defense articles to Saudi Arabia.
