AN ACT 
To strengthen controls on the export of surplus parts for 
F–14 fighter aircraft. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. PROHIBITION ON SALE BY DEPARTMENT OF 
DEFENSE OF PARTS FOR F–14 FIGHTER AIR-
CRAFT. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) The Department of Defense is responsible 
for demilitarizing and auctioning off sensitive sur-
plus United States military equipment. 
(2) F–14 ‘‘Tomcat’’ fighter aircraft have re-
cently been retired, and their parts are being made 
available by auction in large quantities. 
(3) Iran is the only country, besides the United 
States, flying F–14 fighter aircraft and is pur-
chasing surplus parts for such aircraft from brokers. 
(4) The Government Accountability Office has, 
as a result of undercover investigative work, declared 
the acquisition of the surplus United States military 
equipment, including parts for F–14 fighter aircraft, 
to be disturbingly effortless. 
(5) Upon the seizure of such sensitive surplus 
military equipment being sold to Iran, United States 
customs agents have discovered these same items, 
having been resold by the Department of Defense, 
being brokered illegally to Iran again.
(6) Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons capa-
bility, and the Department of State has identified 
Iran as the most active state sponsor of terrorism. 
(7) Iran continues to provide funding, safe 
haven, training, and weapons to known terrorist 
groups, including Hizballah, HAMAS, the Palestine 
Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Lib-
eration of Palestine. 
(8) The sale of spare parts for F–14 fighter 
aircraft could make it more difficult to confront the 
nuclear weapons capability of Iran and would 
strengthen the ground war capability of Iran. To 
prevent these threats to regional and global security, 
the sale of spare parts for F–14 fighter aircraft 
should be prohibited. 
(b) PROHIBITION ON SALE BY DEPARTMENT OF DE-
FENSE.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any other 
provision of law and except as provided in paragraph 
(2), the Department of Defense may not sell (wheth-
er directly or indirectly) any parts for F–14 fighter 
aircraft, whether through the Defense Reutilization 
and Marketing Service or through another agency or 
element of the Department.
(2) EXCEPTION.—Paragraph (1) shall not 
apply with respect to the sale of parts for F–14 
fighter aircraft to a museum or similar organization 
located in the United States that is involved in the 
preservation of F–14 fighter aircraft for historical 
purposes. 
(c) PROHIBITION ON EXPORT LICENSE.—No license 
for the export of parts for F–14 fighter aircraft to a non- 
United States person or entity may be issued by the 
United States Government.
