Serbia 
and

ment and ammunition and the Serbian forces fight-
ing the government of Bosnia-Hercegovina have
more than one thousand battle tanks, armored vehi-
cles, and artillery pieces; and
HR 2295 RFS
(3) because the United Nations arms embargo
is serving to sustain the military advantage of the

go.

embargo against Bosnia-Hercegovina, the President is au-
thorized to transfer to the government of that nation,
without reimbursement, defense articles from the stocks

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
information to Arab countries to demonstrate com-
pliance with the boycott;
(5) with real progress being made in the Middle
East peace process and the serious confidence-build-
ing measures taken by the State of Israel, and end
HR 2295 RFS
to the Arab boycott of Israel and of American com-
panies that have commercial ties with Israel is long
overdue and would represent a significant con-
fidence-building measure; and
(6) in the interest of Middle East peace and
free commerce, the President must take more con-
crete steps to press the Arab states to end their
practice of blacklisting 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 Is-
rael 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
HR 2295 RFS
boycotts of American firms that have commer-
cial 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 commer-
cial relations with Israel; and
(D) encourage the allies and trading part-
ners of the United States to enact laws prohib-
iting businesses from complying with the boy-
cott and penalizing businesses that do comply.
