Bill > SJRes53

This joint resolution provides for congressional disapproval of a proposed foreign military sale to Qatar, specifically blocking the sale of a comprehensive package of defense articles and services that includes advanced military equipment. The proposed sale, originally submitted to Congress under Transmittal No. 25-16, encompasses a wide range of military hardware such as eight MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft (unmanned aerial vehicles), various guided munitions like Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) and Hellfire missiles, sophisticated radar and communication systems, and associated support equipment. The resolution comprehensively lists both Major Defense Equipment (MDE) and non-MDE items, including advanced technological components like GPS/Inertial Navigation Systems, communication intelligence sensor suites, ground control stations, cryptographic devices, and various support services. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively prevent the U.S. government from proceeding with this specific military sale to Qatar, exercising its constitutional oversight role in foreign military transactions.
