My amendment that I've offered is very simple and straightforward. It requests that the Secretary of Defense, in concurrence with the Secretary of State, issue to Congress a review of declassification procedures that are in place to guarantee that materiel does not fall into the hands of terrorists, does not fall into the hands of state sponsors of terrorists, does not fall into the hands of groups hostile to the United States, or any similar reprobates in general. By classification procedures I mean Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service procedures to classify something as excess and also as eligible for sale. We believe this should not engender any opposition. We have worked very well with the majority staff of both the committee in question, and the Foreign Affairs Committee.
