SJRES-115 : Still Just a Bill

Senate Joint Resolution 115, introduced by Senator Sanders on September 25, 2024, seeks to prohibit the issuance of a license amendment for the export of specific defense articles, defense services, and technical data to Israel.

  • The resolution specifically targets items described in Transmittal No. DDTC 23-100, which was submitted to Congress and published in the Congressional Record on September 18, 2024 (Executive Communication 5937).
  • The targeted exports include defense articles, defense services, and technical data intended to support Israel's procurement of Boeing Direct Attack Weapons, specifically Joint Direct Attack Munition variants and Small Diameter Bomb Increment I variants.

The resolution invokes congressional authority under section 36(c) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2776(c)) to disapprove the proposed export.
