When the U.S. government helps sell American weapons and military equipment to other countries, it currently happens two ways: either the U.S. government handles the whole sale itself (acting as a middleman between an American company and a foreign country), or the American company sells directly to that foreign government. Some items are currently restricted to only the government-run process, even in cases where a direct company-to-country sale might work just as well. This bill requires the State Department to review those restricted items every year and figure out whether some of them could safely be shifted to allow direct company sales instead, looking at whether that would be faster, would reduce paperwork burdens on government agencies, and would help U.S. companies and national security. The State Department then has to tell Congress what it found within 30 days of finishing each review.
