Bill > HJRes63

This Joint Resolution, passed by both the Senate and House of Representatives, prohibits the United States from issuing an export license for the sale of specific defense articles and related services to the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and France. These prohibited items include 44,000 GBU-12 Paveway II Kits and 16,000 GBU-10 Paveway II Kits, which are types of precision-guided munitions. The license document referenced, DDTC-17-079, designates these items as defense articles and services under the Arms Export Control Act, a law that governs the export of defense equipment from the U.S. This congressional action is a form of oversight, allowing Congress to object to and block proposed arms sales that it deems problematic.
