AUTHORITY TO ASSIST BOSNIA-HERCEGOVINA
SEC. 548. (a) Congress finds as follows:
(1) the United Nations has imposed an embargo
on the transfer of arms to any country on the terri-
tory of the former Yugoslavia;
(2) the federated states of Serbia and Montenegro
have a large supply of military equipment and am-
munition and the Serbian forces fighting the govern-
ment of Bosnia-Hercegovina have more than one
thousand battle tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery
pieces; and
HR 2295 RH
(3) because the United Nations arms embargo is
serving to sustain the military advantage of the ag-
gressor, the United Nations should exempt the govern-
ment of Bosnia-Hercegovina from its embargo.
(b) Pursuant to a lifting of the United Nations arms
embargo against Bosnia-Hercegovina, the President is au-
thorized to transfer to the government of that nation, with-
out 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, That the Presi-
dent certifies in a timely fashion to the Congress that—
(1) the transfer of such articles would assist that
nation in self-defense and thereby promote the secu-
rity and stability of the region; and
(2) United States allies are prepared to join in
such a military assistance effort.
(c) Within 60 days of any transfer under the authority
provided in subsection (b), and every 60 days thereafter,
the President shall report in writing to the Speaker of the
House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of
the Senate concerning the articles transferred and the dis-
position thereof.
(d) There are authorized to be appropriated to the
President such sums as may be necessary to reimburse the

cles provided under this section.

POLICY ON TERMINATING THE ARAB LEAGUE BOYCOTT OF
ISRAEL
SEC. 550. (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) since 1948 the Arab countries have main-
tained 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 infor-
mation 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, and end to the
Arab boycott of Israel and of American companies
that have commercial ties with Israel is long overdue
HR 2295 RH
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 black-
listing 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 imme-
diately and publicly renounce the primary boycott of
Israel and the secondary 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 participa-
tion of any recipient country in the primary
boycott of Israel and the secondary and tertiary
boycotts of American firms that have commercial
HR 2295 RH
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 rela-
tions with Israel; and
(D) encourage the allies and trading part-
ners of the United States to enact laws prohibit-
ing businesses from complying with the boycott
and penalizing businesses that do comply.
