SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Latin America Secu-
rity Promotion Act’’.
SEC. 2. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.
It is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) the President should work with our Latin
American allies to institute a two-year regional mor-
atorium on the acquisition by these countries of air-
craft designated as attack, bomber, or fighter air-
craft;
(2) such a moratorium will provide an oppor-
tunity for the governments of the Latin American
region to begin to discuss and negotiate a conven-
tional arms restraint regime that would meet their
security concerns without spending scarce economic
resources or sparking an arms race in the region;
and
(3) the President should urge supplier nations
of such aircraft to abide by any such moratorium.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON SALE, LEASE, OR OTHER TRANS-
FER OF ATTACK, BOMBER, OR FIGHTER AIR-
CRAFT TO LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES.
(a) PROHIBITION.—Effective beginning on the date
of the enactment of this Act, aircraft designated as attack,
bomber, or fighter aircraft may not be sold, leased, or oth-
erwise transferred to a Latin American country.
(b) WAIVER.—The prohibition contained in sub-
section (a) shall not apply with respect to a Latin Amer-
ican country if the President—
(1) determines that an emergency exists in
Latin America for which the sale, lease, or other
transfer of an aircraft described in subsection (a) is
vital to the national interest of the United States;
and
(2) transmits to the Congress a report contain-
ing such determination.
(c) DEFINITION.—As used in this Act, the term
‘‘Latin American country’’ includes Antigua, Argentina,
the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Bolivia, Brazil,
the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Chile, Co-
lombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, the Dominican Re-

(3) only 26 percent of women who do attain de-

uals with STEM degrees to extend their focus be-
yond the laboratory so they can be leaders in dis-
covery commercialization;

commercialization ventures are successful when 
women are in top management positions; and

includes supporting women in STEM disciplines.
