                            interest of the United States, except that any
                            such determination shall not take effect until

                                with the United States or a multilateral
                                agreement; and

                                officials, that facilitates the production,
                                processing, or shipment of narcotic and
                                psychotropic drugs and other controlled

                certification
                                If the President makes a certification with
                            respect to a country pursuant to paragraph
                            (1)(B), the President shall include in such
                            certification--

                                that country is terminated pursuant to this
                                section and multilateral development bank
                                assistance is not provided to such country;

                                of the United States by the failure of such
                                country to cooperate fully with the United
                                States in combating narcotics or to take
                                adequate steps to combat narcotics on its

                country, or major drug-transit country, that is a producer
                of licit opium only if the President determines that such
                country maintains licit production and stockpiles at levels
                no higher than those consistent with licit market demand,
                and has taken adequate steps to prevent significant
                diversion of its licit cultivation and production into the
                illicit markets and to prevent illicit cultivation and
                production.

                                        certification and the Congress
                                        enacted a joint resolution
                                        disapproving the determination
                                        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).

                quantities involved) of any agreement entered into pursuant
                to any such Act (i) by using such articles or services for a
                purpose not authorized under section 2754 of this title or,

                chapter, or any predecessor Act, in substantial violation
                (either in terms of quantity or in terms of the gravity of
                the consequences regardless of the quantities involved) of
                any agreement entered into pursuant to any such Act by using
                such articles or services for a purpose not authorized under

                in paragraph (1) of this subsection may have occurred.
                    (3)(A) A country shall be deemed to be ineligible under
                subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of this subsection, or
                both subparagraphs (A) and (B) of such paragraph in the case
                of a violation described in both such paragraphs, if the
                President so determines and so reports in writing to the
                Congress, or if the Congress so determines by joint
                resolution.

    [[Page 398]]

                    (B) Notwithstanding a determination by the President of
                ineligibility under subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of
                this subsection, cash sales and deliveries pursuant to
                previous sales may be made if the President certifies in
                writing to the Congress that a termination thereof would
                have significant adverse impact on United States security,
                unless the Congress adopts or has adopted a joint resolution
                pursuant to subparagraph (A) of this paragraph with respect
                to such ineligibility.
                    (4) A country shall remain ineligible in accordance with
                paragraph (1) of this subsection until such time as--
                                (A) the President determines that the
                            violation has ceased; and
                                (B) the country concerned has given
                            assurances satisfactory to the President that
                            such violation will not recur.
                (d) Submission of written certification to Congress;
                    contents; classified material; effective date of
                    consent; report to Congress; transfers not subject to
                    procedures
                    (1) Subject to paragraph (5), the President may not give
                his consent under paragraph (2) of subsection (a) or under
                the third sentence of such subsection, or under section
                2314(a)(1) or 2314(a)(4) of this title, to a transfer of any
                major defense equipment valued (in terms of its original
                acquisition cost) at $14,000,000 or more, or any defense
                article or related training or other defense service valued
                (in terms of its original acquisition cost) at $50,000,000
                or more, unless the President submits to the Speaker of the
                House of Representatives, the Committee on Foreign Affairs
                of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on
                Foreign Relations of the Senate a written certification with
                respect to such proposed transfer containing--
                                (A) the name of the country or international
                            organization proposing to make such transfer,
                                (B) a description of the article or service
                            proposed to be transferred, including its
                            acquisition cost,
                                (C) the name of the proposed recipient of
                            such article or service,
                                (D) the reasons for such proposed transfer,
                            and
                                (E) the date on which such transfer is
                            proposed to be made.

                Any certification submitted to Congress pursuant to this
                paragraph shall be unclassified, except that information
                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
                to paragraph (1) of this subsection that an emergency exists
                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
                such consent shall become effective then only if the
                Congress does not enact, within such 30-day period, a joint
                resolution prohibiting the proposed transfer.
                    (B) In the case of a proposed transfer to the North
                Atlantic Treaty Organization, or any member country of such
                Organization, Japan, Australia, the Republic of Korea,
                Israel, or New Zealand, unless the President states in the
                certification submitted pursuant to paragraph (1) of this
                subsection that an emergency exists which requires that
                consent to the proposed transfer become effective
                immediately in the national

    [[Page 399]]

                security interests of the United States, such consent shall
                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.
                    (C) If the President states in his certification under
                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
                Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976.
                    (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
                            country which is a member of the North Atlantic
                            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 the proposed
                transfer become effective immediately and a discussion of
                the national security interests involved.

    [[Page 400]]

                    (B) Consent to a transfer subject to subparagraph (A)
                shall become effective after the end of the 15-day or 30-day
                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.
                    (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--
                                (A) to transfers of maintenance, repair, or
                            overhaul defense services, or of the repair
                            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;
                                (B) to temporary transfers of defense
                            articles for the sole purpose of receiving

                                (C) to arrangements among members of the

                            of its member countries--

                                    (i) for cooperative cross servicing, or

                                    (ii) for lead-nation procurement if the
                                certification transmitted to the Congress
                                pursuant to section 2776(b) of this title

                credits) or guaranties extended to or for any foreign
                country, the laws, regulations, official policies, or

                policies or practices of any foreign government where such
                policies or practices are based upon race, religion,
                national origin, or sex.
                    (2) Each contract entered into by any such agency for

                such function, whether in the United States or abroad, take
                into account the exclusionary policies or practices of any

                by a foreign government on the basis of race, religion,
                national origin, or sex, from participating in the
                performance of any sale or licensed transaction under this

                transmit to both such committees a statement, prepared with
                the assistance of the Secretary of State, with respect to
                the country designated in such request, setting forth--
                                (A) all the available information about the
                            exclusionary policies or practices of the
                            government of such country when such policies or
                            practices are based upon race, religion,
                            national origin or sex and prevent any such
                            person from participating in the performance of
                            any sale or licensed transaction under this

                                (C) whether, in the opinion of the
                            President, notwithstanding any such policies or
                            practices--

                                    (i) extraordinary circumstances exist
                                which necessitate a continuation of such
                                sale or licensed transaction, and, if so, a
                                description of such circumstances and the
                                extent to which such sale or licensed
                                transaction should be continued (subject to
                                such conditions as Congress may impose under
                                this section), and

                                    (ii) on all the facts it is in the

                            may request.
                    (2) In the event a statement with respect to a sale or
                licensed transaction is requested pursuant to paragraph (1)
                of this subsection but is not transmitted in accordance
                therewith within 60 days after receipt of such request, such
                sale or licensed transaction shall be suspended unless and
                until such statement is transmitted.
                    (3)(A) In the event a statement with respect to a sale
                or licensed transaction is transmitted under paragraph (1)
                of this subsection, the Congress may at any time thereafter
                adopt a joint resolution terminating or restricting such

                    (1) Subject to paragraph (6), in the case of any letter
                of offer to sell any defense articles or services under this
                chapter for $50,000,000 or more, any design and construction

                equipment for $14,000,000 or more, before such letter of
                offer is issued, the President shall submit 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 a

                to such offer to sell containing the information specified
                in clauses * * * subsection (a) * * *
                    A certification transmitted pursuant to this subsection
                shall be unclassified, except that the information specified
                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
                after receiving such certification, enacts a joint
                resolution prohibiting the proposed sale, unless the
                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
                the letter of offer and a discussion of the national
                security interests involved.
                    (2) Any such joint resolution 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, 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
                its introduction.
                    (3) For the purpose of expediting the consideration and
                enactment of joint resolutions under this subsection, 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.

                    (2) Unless the President states in his certification
                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)--

                            member country of that Organization or
                            Australia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Israel,
                            or New Zealand, shall not be issued until at
                            least 15 calendar days after the Congress
                            receives such certification, and shall not be
                            issued then if the Congress, within that 15-day
                            period, enacts a joint resolution prohibiting
                            the proposed export;
                                (B) in the case of a license for an export
                            of a commercial communications satellite for
                            launch from, and by nationals of, the Russian
                            Federation, Ukraine, or Kazakhstan, shall not be

                            Congress receives such certification, and shall
                            not be issued then if the Congress, within that
                            15-day period, enacts a joint resolution

                emergency exists which requires the proposed export in the

                waiving the requirements of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of
                this paragraph, 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 the export license and a
                discussion of the national security interests involved.
                    (3)(A) Any joint resolution under this subsection shall
                be considered in the Senate in accordance with the

                the agreement in the national security interests of the
                United States.

                    (3) If the President states in his certification that an

                            be leased or loaned;
                                (3) the terms and duration of the lease or
                            loan; and
                                (4) a justification for the lease or loan,
                            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
                into immediately and a discussion of the national security
                interests involved.
                (c) Transmission of certification
                    The certification required by subsection (a) shall be
                transmitted--

                of 1961 [22 U.S.C. 2151 et seq.] or this chapter may be used
                for the purpose of providing economic assistance (including
                assistance under chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign
                Assistance Act of 1961 [22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.]), providing

                1977, unless before such delivery--
                                (1) the supplying country and receiving
                            country have reached agreement to place all such
                            equipment, materials, or technology, upon

                            management when available; and
                                (2) the recipient country has entered into

                    (1) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, the
                President may furnish assistance which would otherwise be
                prohibited under such subsection if he determines and
                certifies in writing to the Speaker of the House of
                Representatives, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the
                House 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.
                    (2)(A) A certification under paragraph (1) of this
                subsection shall take effect on the date on which the

                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
                suspended immediately.
                    (B) 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

                country which the President determines--
                                (A) delivers nuclear reprocessing equipment,
                            materials, or technology to any other country on
                            or after August 4, 1977, or receives such

                            explosive device, if the President determines
                            that the material, equipment, or technology was
                            to be used by such country in the manufacture of
                            a nuclear explosive device.

                For purposes of clause (B), an export (or attempted export)

                    (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection,
                the President in any fiscal year may furnish assistance

                he determines and certifies in writing during that fiscal
                year to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the
                Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of

                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.
                    (3)(A) A certification under paragraph (2) of this

                that the Congress disapproves the furnishing of assistance

                    (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.
                    (B) If the President transmits a certification to the
                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

                would have a serious adverse effect on vital United States

                certification a statement setting forth the specific reasons

                                    (B) Reporting and discharge.--If a
                                committee to which a covered resolution was
                                referred has not reported the resolution

    [[Page 416]]

                                tion, that committee shall be discharged
                                from further consideration of the resolution
                                and the resolution shall be placed on the
                                appropriate calendar.

                                    (C) Proceeding to consideration.--
                                Notwithstanding Rule XXII of the Standing
                                Rules of the Senate, it is in order at any
                                time after the Committee on Banking,
                                Housing, and Urban Affairs or the Committee
                                on Foreign Relations, as the case may be,
                                reports a covered resolution to the Senate
                                or has been discharged from consideration of
                                such a resolution (even though a previous
                                motion to the same effect has been disagreed
                                to) to move to proceed to the consideration
                                of the resolution, and all points of order

                                The motion to proceed is not debatable. The
                                motion is not subject to a motion to
                                postpone. A motion to reconsider the vote by
                                which the motion is agreed to or disagreed
                                to shall not be in order.

                                the Senate, as the case may be, to the
                                procedure relating to a covered resolution
                                shall be decided without debate.

                                    (E) Consideration of veto messages.--
                                Debate in the Senate of any veto message
                                with respect to a covered resolution,
                                including all debatable motions and appeals
                                in connection with the resolution, shall be
                                limited to 10 hours, to be equally divided
                                between, and controlled by, the majority
                                leader and the minority leader or their
                                designees.

                                (5) Rules relating to Senate and House of
                            Representatives.--

                                    (A) Treatment of Senate Resolution in
                                House.--In the House of Representatives, the
                                following procedures shall apply to a
                                covered resolution received from the Senate
                                (unless the House has already passed a
                                resolution relating to the same proposed
                                action):

                                            (i) The resolution shall be
                                        referred to the appropriate
                                        committees.

                                            (ii) If a committee to which a
                                        resolution has been referred has not
                                        reported the resolution within 10
                                        legislative days after the date of
                                        referral, that committee shall be
                                        discharged from further
                                        consideration of the resolution.

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

                                        from further consideration thereof,
                                        it shall be in order to move to
                                        proceed to consider the resolution
                                        in the House. All points of order
                                        against the motion are waived. Such
                                        a motion shall not be in order after
                                        the House has disposed of a motion
                                        to proceed on the resolution. The

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

                                            (iv) The resolution shall be
                                        considered as read. All points of
                                        order against the resolution and
                                        against its consideration are
                                        waived. The previous question shall
                                        be considered as

                                        divided and controlled by the
                                        offeror of the motion to proceed (or
                                        a designee) and an opponent. A
                                        motion to reconsider the vote on

                                        identical resolution from the House
                                        of Representatives, the following
                                        procedures shall apply:
