Israel serves the security interests of the United States, for a

secure Israel is an Israel which has the incentive and confidence

to continue pursuing the peace process. Therefore, the Congress

declares that it is the policy and the intention of the United States

(2) the federated states of Serbia and Montenegro have

a large supply of military equipment and ammunition and

the Serbian forces fighting the government of BosniaHercegovina have more than one thousand battle tanks,

armored vehicles, and artillery pieces; and

against Bosnia-Hercegovina, the President is authorized to transfer

to the government of that nation, without reimbursement, defense

articles from the stocks of the Department of Defense of an aggregate value not to exceed $50,000,000 in fiscal year 1994: Provided,

military assistance effort.

POLICY ON TERMINATING THE ARAB LEAGUE BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL

SEC. 550. (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

(1) since 1948 the Arab countries have maintained a primary boycott against Israel, refusing to do business with Israel;

(2) since the early 1950s the Arab League has maintained

a secondary and tertiary boycott against American and other

companies that have commercial ties with Israel;

(3) the boycott seeks to coerce American firms by blacklisting those that do business with Israel and harm America’s

competitiveness;

(4) the United States has a longstanding policy opposing

the Arab League boycott and United States law prohibits American firms from providing information to Arab countries to

demonstrate compliance with the boycott;

(5) with real progress being made in the Middle East

peace process and the serious confidence-building measures

taken by the State of Israel an end to the Arab boycott of

Israel and of American companies that have commercial ties

with Israel is long overdue and would represent a significant

confidence-building measure; and

(6) in the interest of Middle East peace and free commerce,

the President must take more concrete steps to press the Arab

states to end their practice of blacklisting and boycotting American companies that have trade ties with Israel.

(b) POLICY.—It is the sense of the Congress that—

(1) the Arab League countries should immediately and

publicly renounce the primary boycott of Israel and the second-
H. R. 2295—32

ary and tertiary boycott of American firms that have commercial ties with Israel and

(2) the President should—

(A) take more concrete steps to encourage vigorously

Arab League countries to renounce publicly the primary

boycotts of Israel and the secondary and tertiary boycotts

of American firms that have commercial relations with

Israel as a confidence-building measure;

(B) take into consideration the participation of any

recipient country in the primary boycott of Israel and the

secondary and tertiary boycotts of American firms that

have commercial relations with Israel when determining

whether to sell weapons to said country;

(C) report to Congress on the specific steps being taken

by the President to bring about a public renunciation of

the Arab primary boycott of Israel and the secondary and

tertiary boycotts of American firms that have commercial

relations with Israel; and

(D) encourage the allies and trading partners of the

United States to enact laws prohibiting businesses from

complying with the boycott and penalizing businesses that

do comply.

States since enactment of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing,

and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1991; however, before
