A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Israel of certain defense articles and services.
This joint resolution seeks to prohibit a specific foreign military sale of defense articles and services to Israel. The bill directly affects the proposed transaction involving 12,000 BLU-110A/B bomb bodies and related support services. It uses the congressional review process under the Arms Export Control Act to disapprove the sale without requiring new legislation. The measure would prevent the sale if passed by both the Senate and House of Representatives.
