submitted 58 years ago by Pub. L. 90-629 to r/title-22-FOREIGN-RELATIONS-AND-INTERCOURSE · 267 words · no verdicts yet
The Secretary of State retains authority, and under the President directs and coordinates defense sales, leases, financing, projects, and exports.
(a) This chapter does not limit the Secretary of State’s powers or functions. (b) Under the President’s direction, and considering other United States activities abroad, the Secretary continuously supervises and generally directs sales, leases, financing, cooperative projects, and exports under this chapter. This includes deciding (1) whether and how much to sell to or finance for a country, (2) whether to lease to it, (3) whether to undertake a cooperative project and its scope, and (4) whether delivery or other performance will occur. These activities must be integrated with other United States activities and serve United States foreign policy. (c) The President must establish procedures coordinating United States representatives in each country under the diplomatic mission chief. That chief must ensure sales recommendations are coordinated with political and economic concerns, and may attach comments to the recommendations.
Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed to infringe upon the powers or functions of the Secretary of State.
Under the direction of the President, the Secretary of State (taking into account other United States activities abroad, such as military assistance, economic assistance, and the food for peace program) shall be responsible for the continuous supervision and general direction of sales, leases, financing, cooperative projects, and exports under this chapter, including, but not limited to, determining—
whether there will be a sale to or financing for a country and the amount thereof;
whether there will be a lease to a country;
whether there will be a cooperative project and the scope thereof; and
whether there will be delivery or other performance under such sale, lease, cooperative project, or export,
to the end that sales, financing, leases, cooperative projects, and exports will be integrated with other United States activities and to the end that the foreign policy of the United States would be best served thereby.
The President shall prescribe appropriate procedures to assure coordination among representatives of the United States Government in each country, under the leadership of the Chief of the United States Diplomatic Mission. The Chief of the diplomatic mission shall make sure that recommendations of such representatives pertaining to sales are coordinated with political and economic considerations, and his comments shall accompany such recommendations if he so desires.
