This Arab League boycott is an anachronism, a repugnant reminder of events and hostilities of the past. It is not fitting that the boycott continue, and this amendment does a lot to unravel it, to take it apart. I support the amendment, which would prohibit American arms sales to nations that engage in the economic boycott against Israel. This amendment properly links U.S. arms sales to compliance with the boycott. It is also crafted to give the President flexibility in its application. The adoption of this amendment will serve a real purpose and send a strong message to the Near East.
