Most people don’t know. Of the people that know, most don’t care. Of the people that care, most don’t act. Of the people that act, most fail. Of the people that fail, most don’t learn. Those that do, Those very few, Succeed.

    This request would modify requirements that apply to certain defense articles that the Department of Defense (DOD) transfers to Israel. Section 12001 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2005 (Public Law 108-287), as amended (section 12001), currently allows the DOD to transfer specified categories of defense articles to Israel in exchange for certain concessions from Israel, subject to multiple restrictions—including that the articles are obsolete or surplus to DOD. It further requires the President to notify the Congress at least 30 days prior to such transfer. This request would modify section 12001 to: allow for the transfer of all categories of defense articles; remove the requirement that these articles be obsolete or surplus to DOD; allow DOD greater flexibility in determining the value of the concessions provided in exchange for the transfers; and provide for the possibility of shortening the 30-day prior notice period in extraordinary circumstances.
