reinstate the boycott against Israel was deeply trou-
bling and disappointing;

maintain full diplomatic relations with Israel is also
of deep concern;

scind its decision on the boycott and its members
should develop normal relations with their neighbor

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
and to normalize their relations with Israel;

cial relations with Israel when determining
whether to sell weapons to said country;

specific steps being taken by the United States
and the progress achieved to bring about a pub-
lic 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 to expand the process of
HR 2506 RS
normalizing ties between Arab League countries
and 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-
