that—

tary Financing (FMF) that were appropriately sus-
pended following the military coup in Thailand in

priated by this Act may be obligated or expended to provide
direct assistance to the Government of Thailand to initiate

and which eventually could pose a threat to the United
States homeland.

of the United States—

logically possible, in conjunction with its allies and
other nations whenever possible, an effective defense
against the threat from Iran described in subsection
(a)(1) that will provide protection for the United

HR 1585 PP
States, its friends, and its North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization allies; and
