A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Australia of certain defense articles and services.
This bill (SJRES 53) prohibits a specific proposed foreign military sale to Australia involving defense articles and services. It blocks the sale of 15 units each of AGM-88E2 missile guidance systems, HARM missile components, related support equipment, and software, as detailed in a transmittal submitted to Congress. The resolution invokes the Arms Export Control Act to require congressional disapproval of this sale, directly affecting the Australian government as the intended recipient. This is a procedural disapproval measure, not a new policy, halting the specific transaction described in the transmittal.
