Arms Sales Notification

This was a routine Senate procedure under section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act, which requires Congress to receive advance notice of certain proposed foreign arms sales, with a 30-day window for review. Senator Risch placed the notifications of these proposed sales into the record so all senators could see them. There was no debate for or against any sale.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .

Official Congressional Record

Mr. President, section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act requires that Congress receive prior notification of certain proposed arms sales as defined by that statute. Upon such notification, the Congress has 30 calendar days during which the sale may be reviewed. The provision stipulates that, in the Senate, the notification of proposed sales shall be sent to the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In keeping with the committee’s intention to see that relevant information is still available to the full Senate, I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record the notifications that have been received. If the cover letter references a classified annex, then such an annex is available to all Senators in the office of the Foreign Relations Committee, room SD-423. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows:
