James E. Risch, ID
“By law, the government must tell Congress before selling weapons to other countries. I am adding notices about these proposed arms sales, including one to Greece, to the official record so all senators can review them.”
“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: Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of Offer Pursuant to Section Greece--Switchblade 300 Block 20 Lethal Miniature Aerial Missile System”
