Sec. 10001. Suspension of Sanctions. (a) In General.--Effective for
the period of five years commencing on the date of enactment of this
Act, the sanctions contained in the following provisions of law shall
not apply to India and Pakistan with respect to any grounds for the
imposition of sanctions under those provisions arising prior to that
date:
(1) Section 101 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C.
2799aa).
(2) Section 102 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C.
2799aa-1) other than subsection (b)(2)(B), (C), or (G).
(3) Section 2(b)(4) of the Export Import Bank Act of 1945
(12 U.S.C. 635(b)(4)).

Technology.--The sanction contained in section 102(b)(2)(G) of the Arms
Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2799aa-1(b)(2)(G)) shall not apply to
India or Pakistan with respect to any grounds for the imposition of
that sanction arising prior to the date of enactment of this Act if
imposition of the sanction (but for this paragraph) would deny any
license for the export of any dual-use article, or related dual-use
technology (including software), listed on the Commerce Control List of
the Export Administration Regulations that would not contribute
directly to missile development or to a nuclear weapons program. For
purposes of this subsection, an article or technology that is not
primarily used for missile development or nuclear weapons programs.
(c) National Security Interests Waiver of Sanctions.--
(1) In general.--The restriction on assistance in section

(A) no waiver under paragraph (1) should be invoked
for section 102(b)(2)(B) or (C) of the Arms Export
Control Act with respect to any party that initiates or
supports activities that jeopardize peace and security
in Jammu and Kashmir;
(B) the broad application of export controls to
nearly 300 Indian and Pakistani entities is
inconsistent with the specific national security
interests of the United States and that this control
list requires refinement; and
(C) export controls should be applied only to those
Indian and Pakistani entities that make direct and
material contributions to weapons of mass destruction
and missile programs and only to those items that can
contribute such programs.
(d) Reporting Requirement.--Not later than 60 days after the date
of enactment of this Act, the President shall submit a report to the
appropriate congressional committees listing those Indian and Pakistani
entities whose activities contribute directly and materially to missile
programs or weapons of mass destruction programs.
(e) Congressional Notification.--A license for the export of a
defense article, defense service, or technology is subject to the same
requirements as are applicable to the export of items described in
section 36(c) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2776(c)),
including the transmittal of information and the application of
congressional review procedures described in that section.
(f) Renewal of Suspension.--Upon the expiration of the initial
five-year period of suspension of the sanctions contained in paragraph
(1) or (2) of subsection (a), the President may renew the suspension
with respect to India, Pakistan, or both for additional periods of five
years each if, not less than 30 days prior to each renewal of
suspension, the President certifies to the appropriate congressional
committees that it is in the national interest of the United States to
do so.
(g) Restriction.--The authority of subsection (a) may not be used
to provide assistance under chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.; relating to economic
support fund assistance) except for--
(1) assistance that supports the activities of
nongovernmental organizations;
(2) assistance that supports democracy or the establishment
of democratic institutions; or
(3) humanitarian assistance.

imposition of sanctions by the President under any provision of law
specified in subsection (a) or (b) by reason of any grounds for the
imposition of sanctions under that provision of law arising on or after
the date of enactment of this Act.
Sec. 10002. Repeals. The following provisions of law are repealed:

Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration,
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999, as contained in
section 101(a) of Public Law 105-277).
Sec. 10003. Appropriate Congressional Committees Defined. In this
