Sense of Congress

It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the United States and Israel— (A) are bound closely by historic and cultural ties and mutual interests; and (B) face common threats, which are constantly evolving in scope, scale, and lethality; (2) to most effectively counter such shared threats, the United States and Israel must expand their defense partnership to develop new technologies and leverage the unique capabilities offered by defense industrial base of each country; and (3) this Act furthers such goal through the establishment of several joint initiatives.
