SJRES 49 United States Senate · 117th Congress

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Australia of certain defense articles and services.

SJRES 49 would prohibit the U.S. government from proceeding with a proposed $1.1 billion military sale to Australia. The bill specifically blocks the transfer of 20 HIMARS rocket systems, artillery munitions (including GMLRS pods), and supporting equipment like communication systems and spare parts. This resolution targets the specific sale detailed in Transmittal No. 22-28 under the Arms Export Control Act. If enacted, it would prevent the U.S. from delivering these defense articles and services to Australia.
