            country maintains licit production and stockpiles at levels

                                          (II) if he had made such a 
                                    certification and the Congress

                                    contained in the certification, why 
                                    the Congress enacted that joint 
                                    resolution; or

                                (B) the Congress enacts a joint 
                            resolution approving the determination 
                            contained in the certification under 
                            subsection (b)(1)(B).

            national origin, or sex.
                (B) Each contract entered into by any such agency for

                        government of such country when such policies or 
                        practices are based upon race, religion,

                            transaction, and, if so, a description of

            accordance therewith within 60 days after receipt of such 
            request, such assistance or training transaction shall be

            previous sales may be made if the President certifies in

            regarding the dollar value and number of articles or 
            services proposed to be transferred may be classified if 
            public disclosure thereof would be clearly detrimental to 
            the security of the United States.

                (2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), unless 
            the President states in the certification submitted pursuant

            which requires that consent to the proposed transfer become 
            effective immediately in the national security interests of 
            the United States, such consent shall not become effective 
            until 30 calendar days after the date of such submission and

            resolution prohibiting the proposed transfer.
                (B) In the case of a proposed transfer to the North

            not become effective until fifteen calendar days after the 
            date of such submission and such consent shall become 
            effective then only if the Congress does not enact, within 
            such fifteen-day period, a joint resolution prohibiting the 
            proposed transfer.

            subparagraph (A) or (B) that an emergency exists which 
            requires that consent to the proposed transfer become 
            effective immediately in the national security interests of 
            the United States, thus waiving the requirements of that 
            subparagraph, the President shall set forth in the 
            certification a detailed justification for his 
            determination, including a description of the emergency 
            circumstances which necessitate immediate consent to the 
            transfer and a discussion of the national security interests 
            involved.
                (D)(i) Any joint resolution under this paragraph shall 
            be considered in the Senate in accordance with the 
            provisions of section 601(b) of the International Security

                \14\ Id.
                (ii) For the purpose of expediting the consideration and 
            enactment of joint resolutions under this paragraph, a 
            motion to proceed to the consideration of any such joint 
            resolution after it has been reported by the appropriate 
            committee shall be treated as highly privileged in the House 
            of Representatives.
                (3)(A) Subject to paragraph (5), the President may not 
            give his consent to the transfer of any major defense 
            equipment valued (in terms of its original acquisition cost) 
            at $14,000,000 or more, or of any defense article or defense 
            service valued (in terms of its original acquisition cost) 
            at $50,000,000 or more, the export of which has been 
            licensed or approved under section 2778 of this title or has 
            been exempted from the licensing requirements of this 
            chapter pursuant to a treaty referred to in section 
            2778(j)(1)(C)(i) of this title where such treaty does not 
            authorize the transfer without prior United States 
            Government approval, unless before giving such consent the 
            President submits to the Speaker of the House of 
            Representatives, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the 
            House of Representatives, and the Chairman of the Committee 
            on Foreign Relations of the Senate a certification 
            containing the information specified in subparagraphs (A) 
            through (E) of paragraph (1). Such certification shall be 
            submitted--
                            (i) at least 15 calendar days before such 
                        consent is given in the case of a transfer to a

                        Treaty Organization or Australia, Japan, the 
                        Republic of Korea, Israel, or New Zealand; and
                            (ii) at least 30 calendar days before such 
                        consent is given in the case of a transfer to 
                        any other country,

            unless the President states in his certification that an 
            emergency exists which requires that consent to the proposed 
            transfer become effective immediately in the national 
            security interests of the United States. If the President 
            states in his certification that such an emergency exists 
            (thus waiving the requirements of clause (i) or (ii), as the 
            case may be, and of subparagraph (B)) the President shall 
            set forth in the certification a detailed justification for 
            his determination, including a description of the emergency 
            circumstances which necessitate that consent to

            period specified in subparagraph (A)(i) or (ii), as the case 
            may be, only if the Congress does not enact, within that 
            period, a joint resolution prohibiting the proposed 
            transfer.
                (C)(i) Any joint resolution under this paragraph shall 
            be considered in the Senate in accordance with the 
            provisions of section 601(b) of the International Security 
            Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976.\15\

                (ii) For the purpose of expediting the consideration and 
            enactment of joint resolutions under this paragraph, a 
            motion to proceed to the consideration of any such joint 
            resolution after it has been reported by the appropriate 
            committee shall be treated as highly privileged in the House 
            of Representatives.
                (4) This subsection shall not apply--

                        parts or other defense articles used in 
                        furnishing such services, if the transfer will 
                        not result in any increase, relative to the 
                        original specifications, in the military 
                        capability of the defense articles and services 
                        to be maintained, repaired, or overhauled;

            the information specified in clauses * * * subsection (a) * 
            * *
                A certification transmitted pursuant to this subsection

            in clause (ii) and the details of the description specified 
            in clause (iii) of subsection (a) may be classified if the 
            public disclosure thereof would be clearly detrimental to 
            the security of the United States, in which case the 
            information shall be accompanied by a description of the 
            damage to the national security that could be expected to 
            result from public disclosure of the information. The letter 
            of offer shall not be issued, with respect to a proposed 
            sale to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, any member 
            country of such Organization, Japan, Australia, the Republic 
            of Korea, Israel, or New Zealand, if the Congress, within 
            fifteen calendar days after receiving such certification, or 
            with respect to a proposed sale to any other country or 
            organization, if the Congress within thirty calendar days

            President states in his certification that an emergency 
            exists which requires such sale in the national security 
            interests of the United States. If the President states in 
            his certification that an emergency exists which requires 
            the proposed sale in the national security interest of the 
            United States, thus waiving the congressional review 
            requirements of this subsection, he shall set forth in the 
            certification a detailed justification for his 
            determination, including a description of the emergency 
            circumstances which necessitate the immediate issuance of

            of the International Security Assistance and Arms Export 
            Control Act of 1976, except that for purposes of 
            consideration of any joint resolution with respect to the 
            North Atlantic Treaty Organization, any member country of 
            such Organization, Japan, Australia, the Republic of Korea, 
            Israel, or New Zealand, it shall be in order in the Senate 
            to move to discharge a committee to which such joint 
            resolution was referred if such committee has not reported 
            such joint resolution at the end of five calendar days after

            resolution after it has been reported

            that an emergency exists which requires the proposed export 
            in the national security interests of the United States, a 
            license for export described in paragraph (1)--

                Before entering into or renewing any agreement with a 
            foreign country or international organization to lease any 
            defense article under this subchapter, or to loan any 
            defense article under chapter 2 of part II of the Foreign 
            Assistance Act of 1961 [22 U.S.C. 2311 et seq.], for a 
            period of one year or longer, the President shall transmit 
            to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the 
            Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
            Representatives, and to the chairman of the Committee on 
            Foreign Relations of the Senate and the chairman of the 
            Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, a written 
            certification which specifies--
                            (1) the country or international 
                        organization to which the defense article is to 
                        be leased or loaned;

[[Page 402]]

                            (2) the type, quantity, and value (in terms 
                        of replacement cost) of the defense article to 
                        be leased or loaned;
                            (3) the terms and duration of the lease or 
                        loan; and

                        including an explanation of why the defense 
                        article is being leased or loaned rather than 
                        sold under this chapter.
            (b) Waiver; determination of emergency
                The President may waive the requirements of this section 
            (and in the case of an agreement described in section 2796b 
            of this title, may waive the provisions of that section) if 
            he states in his certification, that an emergency exists 
            which requires that the lease or loan be entered into 
            immediately in the national security interests of the United 
            States. If the President states in his certification that 
            such an emergency exists, he shall set forth in the 
            certification a detailed justification for his 
            determination, including a description of the emergency 
            circumstances which necessitate that the lease be entered

            President may furnish assistance which would otherwise be 
            prohibited under such subsection if he determines and

            Representatives, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the 
            House

[[Page 404]]

            of Representatives, and the Committee on Foreign Relations 
            of the Senate that--
                            (A) the termination of such assistance would 
                        have a serious adverse effect on vital United 
                        States interests; and
                            (B) he has received reliable assurances that 
                        the country in question will not acquire or 
                        develop nuclear weapons or assist other nations 
                        in doing so.
                Such certification shall set forth the reasons 
            supporting such determination in each particular case.

            certification, the Congress enacts a joint resolution 
            stating in substance that the Congress disapproves the 
            furnishing of assistance pursuant to the certification, then 
            upon the enactment of that resolution the certification 
            shall cease to be effective and all deliveries of assistance 
            furnished under the authority of that certification shall be

            Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of

            the Senate that the termination of such assistance would be 
            seriously prejudicial to the achievement of United States 
            nonproliferation objectives or otherwise jeopardize the 
            common defense and security. The President shall transmit

                (4)(A) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, 
            the President may, for a period of not more than 30 days of 
            continuous session, delay the imposition of sanctions which 
            would otherwise be required under paragraph (1)(A) or (1)(B) 
            of this subsection if the President first transmits to the 
            Speaker of the House of Representatives, and to the chairman 
            of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, a 
            certification that he has determined that an immediate 
            imposition of sanctions on that country would be detrimental 
            to the national security of the United States. Not more than 
            one such certification may be transmitted for a country with 
            respect to the same detonation, transfer, or receipt of a 
            nuclear explosive device.

            Congress under subparagraph (A), a joint resolution which 
            would permit the President to exercise the waiver authority 
            of paragraph (5) of this subsection shall, if introduced in 
            either House within thirty days of continuous session after 
            the Congress receives this certification, be considered in 
            the Senate in accordance with subparagraph (C) of this 
            paragraph.
                (C) Any joint resolution under this paragraph shall be 
            considered in the Senate in accordance with the provisions 
            of section 601(b) of the International Security Assistance 
            and Arms Export Control Act of 1976.\22\

            certification by the President under section 102(b)(4) of 
            the Arms Export Control Act with respect to_____, the 
            Congress hereby authorizes the President to exercise the 
            waiver authority contained in section 102(b)(5) of that 
            Act.'', with the date of receipt of the certification 
            inserted in the first blank and the name of the country 
            inserted in the second blank.
                (5) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, if 
            the Congress enacts a joint resolution under paragraph (4) 
            of this subsection, the President may waive any sanction 
            which would otherwise be required under paragraph (1)(A) or 
            (1)(B) if he determines and certifies in writing to the 
            Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
            Foreign Relations of the Senate that the imposition of such 
            sanction would be seriously prejudicial to the achievement 
            of United States nonproliferation objectives or otherwise 
            jeopardize the common defense and security. The President 
            shall transmit with such certification a statement setting 
            forth the specific reasons therefor.
                (6)(A) In the event the President is required to impose 
            sanctions against a country under paragraph (1)(C) or 
            (1)(D), the President shall forthwith so inform such country 
            and shall impose the required sanctions beginning 30 days 
            after submitting to the Congress the report required by 
            paragraph (1) unless, and to the extent that, there is 
            enacted during the 30-day period a law prohibiting the 
            imposition of such sanctions.
                (B) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
            sanctions which are required to be imposed against a country 
            under paragraph (1)(C) or (1)(D) shall not apply if the 
            President determines and certifies in writing to the 
            Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on 
            Governmental Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on 
            Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives that the 
            application of such sanctions against such country would 
            have a serious adverse effect on vital United States 
            interests. The President shall transmit with such 
            certification a statement setting forth the specific reasons 
            therefor.
                (7) For purposes of this subsection, continuity of 
            session is broken only by an adjournment of Congress sine 
            die and the days on which either House is not in session 
            because of an adjournment of more than three days to a day 
            certain are excluded in the computation of any period of 
            time in which Congress is in continuous session. (Pub. L.

                            (C) Proceeding to consideration

                                Notwithstanding Rule XXII of the 
                            Standing Rules of the Senate, it is in order

                            procedure relating to a joint resolution of 
                            approval or joint resolution of disapproval

                            including all debatable motions and appeals 
                            in connection with the joint resolution,

                                    resolution.

                                        (iii) Beginning on the third 
                                    legislative day after each committee 
                                    to which a joint resolution has been

                                    discharged from further 
                                    consideration thereof, it shall be 
                                    in order to move to proceed to 
                                    consider the joint resolution in the

                                    debatable. A motion to reconsider 
                                    the vote by which the motion is 
                                    disposed of shall not be in order.

                                    waived. The previous question shall 
                                    be considered as ordered on the 
                                    joint resolution to final passage 
                                    without intervening motion except 2 
                                    hours of debate equally divided and
