Bill > HR298

This bill aims to remove specific restrictions and requirements related to defense assistance and sales involving Cyprus. Specifically, the bill modifies two existing pieces of legislation: the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 and the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. It changes the heading of Section 1250A to shift from a "prohibition" to a "sense of Congress" statement, effectively eliminating previous subsections that likely placed limitations on defense articles and security assistance to Cyprus. Additionally, the bill strikes subsections (d) and (e) from Section 620C of the Foreign Assistance Act, which presumably contained specific restrictions on security assistance and sales to Cyprus. By removing these provisions, the bill appears to be expanding potential defense cooperation and support for Cyprus, potentially signaling a change in U.S. policy towards military and security engagement with the country.
