To express the sense of the Senate on United States-Israel cooperation 
                     on precision-guided munitions.

    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the Department of Defense has cooperated extensively 
        with Israel to assist in the procurement of precision-guided 
        munitions, and such cooperation represents an important example 
        of robust United States support for Israel;
            (2) to the extent practicable, the Secretary of Defense 
        should take further measures to expedite deliveries of 
        precision-guided munitions to Israel; and
            (3) regularized annual purchases of precision-guided 
        munitions by Israel, in accordance with existing requirements 
        and practices regarding the export of defense articles and 
        defense services, coordinated with the United States Air Force 
        annual purchase of precision-guided munitions, would enhance 
        the security of both the United States and Israel by--
                    (A) promoting a more efficient use of defense 
                resources by taking advantage of economies of scale;
                    (B) enabling the United States and Israel to 
                address crisis requirements for precision-guided 
                munitions in a timely and flexible manner; and
                    (C) encouraging the defense industrial base to 
                maintain routine production lines of precision-guided 
                munitions.
                                 <all>
