SJRES 52 United States Senate · 117th Congress

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 joint resolution blocks a proposed U.S. military sale to Egypt, specifically prohibiting the transfer of 23 CH-47F Chinook helicopters, engines, missile warning systems, and other defense equipment listed in a congressional transmittal. It directly prevents the U.S. government from authorizing this sale under the Arms Export Control Act, affecting both the U.S. defense export process and Egypt's access to these specific military assets. The resolution targets concrete items detailed in the proposal, including helicopters, spare parts, radar systems, and training support, without altering broader arms export policies. This disapproval measure halts the transaction without requiring additional legislative action on the sale itself.
