A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sales to the Government of Egypt of certain defense articles and services.

This bill (SJRES 56) would prohibit two specific proposed U.S. defense sales to Egypt: 28-Meter Patrol Craft Kits and Light Tactical Vehicle Chassis, as detailed in government transmittals dated January 2024. It directly affects the U.S. government (by blocking the sales) and the Egyptian government (as the recipient). The resolution uses the formal congressional disapproval process under the Arms Export Control Act to stop these sales from proceeding. It does not alter existing laws but prevents the specific transactions described in the transmittals from moving forward. The bill’s effect is limited to these two listed defense items.
