tory of the former Yugoslavia.
(2) 
The 
federated 
states 
of 
Serbia 
and
Montenegro have a large supply of military equip-
ment and ammunition and the Serbian forces fight-
ing the government of Bosnia-Hercegovina have more
than one thousand battle tanks, armored vehicles, and
artillery pieces.
(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, or to a unilateral lifting of the arms embargo by
the President of the United States, against Bosnia-
Hercegovina, the President is authorized to transfer to the

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

fashion to the Congress that—

provided in subsection (b), and every 60 days thereafter,

position thereof.
(d) There are authorized to be appropriated to the
President such sums as may be necessary to reimburse the
applicable appropriation, fund, or account for defense arti-
cles provided under this section.
(e) If the President determines that doing so will con-
tribute to a just resolution of charges regarding genocide
or other violations of international law in the former Yugo-
slavia, the authority of section 552(c) of the Foreign Assist-
ance Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to provide up
to $25,000,000 of commodities and services to the United
Nations War Crimes Tribunal, without regard to the ceiling
limitation contained in paragraph (2) thereof: Provided,
That the determination required under this subsection shall
be in lieu of any determinations otherwise required under

POLICY ON TERMINATING THE ARAB LEAGUE BOYCOTT OF
ISRAEL
SEC. 548. (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
HR 4426 RH
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 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
HR 4426 RH
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 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.

tification to the Committees on Appropriations: Provided,
