Bill > HJRes64

This Joint Resolution prohibits the United States government from issuing licenses for the transfer of specific defense articles and related services to Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Italy, as detailed in license document DDTC-17-094. This means the proposed sale and coproduction of certain components for Paveway missile systems, including circuit cards and guidance electronics, to Saudi Arabia, as well as the transfer of additional missile kits and components to all four countries, is blocked by Congress. The Arms Export Control Act is the law under which such transfers are typically approved, and this resolution is an example of Congress using its oversight power to disapprove a proposed arms sale.
