A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Egypt of certain defense articles and services.
This joint resolution (SJRES 55) prohibits a specific proposed foreign military sale to Egypt's government. It targets the sale of "28-Meter Patrol Craft Kits and related equipment" (detailed in Transmittal No. 22-58 under the Arms Export Control Act). The resolution directs Congress to disapprove this sale, effectively blocking the transaction without requiring the President's signature. It directly affects the U.S. government's ability to authorize this defense transfer to Egypt.
