Arms Transfers to Colombia: 1993 to

Present
The Clinton Administration notified Congress of the following proposed
government-negotiated Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agreements, export
licenses for industry-negotiated Direct Commercial Sales (DCS), leases of
equipment, and reduced price or free excess defense article (EDA) transfers to
Colombia. The Arms Export Control Act requires only that the administration
notify Congress of FMS and DCS valued at $14 million or more. Sales below
that threshold are not recorded here. Congress has 30 days to stop proposed
FMS agreements or DCS licenses from going forward. To block a sale, a twothirds majority in both houses of Congress must pass a resolution of
disapproval. None of the following sales were challenged.
Note: Items marked with asterisks (**) have been reported in trade press but
not yet published in the Federal Register or EDA database.
