National Defense: U.S. Conventional Arms Transfer Policy

Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Feb. 28, 1979
Report No. 108689
Subject
Summary:

An evaluation was presented on the implementation of the current policy of restraint with respect to conventional arms exports, the decisionmaking process for individual sales cases, and the congressional oversight role in the process. Serious restrictions were placed on the examination by the executive branch due to the belief that the arms sales decisionmaking process cannot work in practice if it has to take place in public, or if those involved must expect that their advice will be scrutinized and criticized after the fact. The examination included case studies of transfers to nonindustrialized countries. There is little evidence to suggest that other supplier countries are willing to join the United States in its restraint effort. The information flow to Congress on arms sales continues to be less than adequate to permit Congress to fully and effectively exercise its policy formulation and oversight responsibilities.
