     SEC. ___. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON TRANSFER OF CLUSTER 
                   MUNITIONS TO UKRAINE.

       It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the President authorized the transfer of cluster 
     munitions to Ukraine during a transitional period in light of 
     a temporary shortfall of 155mm artillery shells; and
       (2) Congress supports the President's plan to cease the 
     transfer of cluster munitions once a sufficient supply of 
     unitary 155mm artillery shells becomes available.
