TIONS.—

in section 102(b)(2)(B), (C), or (G) of the Arms Ex-
port Control Act shall not apply if the President de-

security interests of the United States.

Arms Export Control Act with respect to any
party that initiates or supports activities that
jeopardize peace and security in Jammu and
Kashmir;
(B) the broad application of export controls
to nearly 300 Indian and Pakistani entities is
inconsistent with the specific national security
interests of the United States and that this con-
trol list requires refinement; and

to those Indian and Pakistani entities that make

mittal of information and the application of congressional
review procedures described in that section.

of the initial five-year period of suspension of the sanctions
contained in paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (a), the

Pakistan, or both for additional periods of five years each
if, not less than 30 days prior to each renewal of suspension,
