The United States supports the March 26, 1979 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel and urges continued efforts toward comprehensive peace. Congress identifies defense and economic authorizations as serving United States interests but does not approve other executive-branch agreements or commitments.
(a) It is United States policy to support the peace treaty concluded by Egypt and Israel on March 26, 1979. Congress calls it a significant step toward comprehensive Middle East peace and urges the President to keep working for that peace and for all parties to end violence that could threaten it.
(b) Because the treaty was ratified, Congress finds that United States interests are served by (1) authorizing the President to build air bases in Israel to replace bases Israel will evacuate in the Sinai; (2) authorizing additional funds through fiscal year 1982 for Egypt’s and Israel’s defense articles and services; and (3) authorizing additional economic assistance for Egypt to promote its stability and development and support the Middle East peace process.
(c) The authorities in this subchapter for arrangements supporting the treaty do not mean that Congress approves any other agreement, understanding, or commitment made by the executive branch.
It is the policy of the United States to support the peace treaty concluded between the Government of Egypt and the Government of Israel on March 26, 1979. This treaty is a significant step toward a full and comprehensive peace in the Middle East. The Congress urges the President to continue to exert every effort to bring about a comprehensive peace and to seek an end by all parties to the violence which could jeopardize this peace.
The peace treaty between Egypt and Israel having been ratified, the Congress finds that the national interests of the United States are served—
by authorizing the President to construct air bases in Israel to replace the Israeli air bases on the Sinai peninsula that are to be evacuated;
by authorizing additional funds to finance procurements by Egypt and Israel through the fiscal year 1982 of defense articles and defense services for their respective security requirements; and
by authorizing additional funds for economic assistance for Egypt in order to promote the economic stability and development of that country and to support the peace process in the Middle East.
The authorities contained in this subchapter to implement certain arrangements in support of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel do not signify approval by the Congress of any other agreement, understanding, or commitment made by the executive branch.
