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, hav-
ing 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 Libera-
tion of Palestine. 
(8) The sale of spare parts for F–14 fighter air-
craft could make it more difficult to confront the nu-
clear weapons capability of Iran and would strength-
en 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 pro-
hibited.
