What this amendment would do

SA 3402, submitted by Mr. Cornyn, aims to change the Arms Export Control Act by increasing the dollar amount thresholds that trigger congressional notifications.

The amendment proposes the following changes:

  • Increase Thresholds: It replaces several specific dollar amounts with higher figures across various sections of the Arms Export Control Act. Examples include changing $14,000,000 to $23,000,000 and $50,000,000 to $83,000,000.

  • Periodic Review: It requires the Secretary of State to conduct a review every five years. This review must compare the increased amounts to a calculation based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.

  • Reporting: The Secretary of State must submit the results of this review and recommendations on whether the amounts should be updated for inflation to the appropriate committees of Congress. These committees include the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, the Senate Committee on Armed Services, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, and the House Committee on Armed Services.
