       (a) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the United States Government has a responsibility to 
     undertake all reasonable measures to ensure that members of 
     the Armed Forces never confront a more technologically 
     advanced foe;
       (2) pursuant to section 3 of the United States-Israel 
     Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012 (22 U.S.C. 8602), 
     it is the policy of the United States to affirm the 
     unwavering commitment of the United States to the security of 
     Israel as a Jewish state, support the right of Israel to 
     self-defense and encourage further development of advanced 
     technology programs between the United States and Israel;
       (3) the United States and Israel have several cooperative 
     technology programs to develop and field capabilities in 
     missile defense, countertunneling, and counterunmanned aerial 
     systems; and
       (4) building on positive ongoing efforts, the United States 
     and Israel should further institutionalize and strengthen 
     their defense innovation partnership by establishing a United 
     States-Israel Operations-Technology Working Group to identify 
     and expeditiously field capabilities that the military forces 
     of both countries need to deter and defeat respective 
     adversaries.
