Library of Congress Summary

9/12/2011--Introduced.
Prohibits foreign military financing program assistance to any country that votes in the U.N. General Assembly in favor of recognizing a Palestinian state in the absence of a negotiated border agreement between the government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA). Authorizes the President to waive such prohibition on a case-by-case basis upon a certification to Congress that a waiver is in the U.S. national interest.

House Republican Conference Summary

The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.

No summary available.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
