6 POLICY ON TERMINATING THE ARAB LEAGUE BOYCOTT

7 OF ISRAEL

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

9 (1) since 1948 the Arab countries have main10 tained a primary boycott against Israel, refusing to

11 do business with Israel;

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

13 maintained a secondary and tertiary boycott against

14 American and other companies that have commercial

15 ties with Israel;

16 (3) the boycott seeks to coerce American firms

17 by blacklisting those that do business with Israel

18 and harm America’s competitiveness;

19 (4) the United States has a longstanding policy

20 opposing the Arab League boycott and United

21 States law prohibits American firms from providing

22 information to Arab countries to demonstrate com23 pliance with the boycott;

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

25 East peace process and the serious confidence-build26 ing measures taken by the State of Israel, and end
64

HR 2295 EH

1 to the Arab boycott of Israel and of American com2 panies that have commercial ties with Israel is long

3 overdue and would represent a significant con4 fidence-building measure; and

5 (6) in the interest of Middle East peace and

6 free commerce, the President must take more con7 crete steps to press the Arab states to end their

8 practice of blacklisting and boycotting American

9 companies that have trade ties with Israel.

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

11 (1) the Arab League countries should imme12 diately and publicly renounce the primary boycott of

13 Israel and the secondary and tertiary boycott of

14 American firms that have commercial ties with Is15 rael and

16 (2) the President should—

17 (A) take more concrete steps to encourage

18 vigorously Arab League countries to renounce

19 publicly the primary boycotts of Israel and the

20 secondary and tertiary boycotts of American

21 firms that have commercial relations with Israel

22 as a confidence-building measure;

23 (B) take into consideration the participa24 tion of any recipient country in the primary
