Sec. 2302. Utilization of defense articles and defense services

    Defense articles and defense services to any country shall be 
furnished solely for internal security (including for antiterrorism and 
nonproliferation purposes), for legitimate self-defense, to permit the 
recipient country to participate in regional or collective arrangements 
or measures consistent with the Charter of the United Nations, or 
otherwise to permit the recipient country to participate in collective 
measures requested by the United Nations for the purpose of maintaining 
or restoring international peace and security, or for the purpose of 
assisting foreign military forces in less developed friendly countries 
(or the voluntary efforts of personnel of the Armed Forces of the United 
States in such countries) to construct public works and to engage in 
other activities helpful to the economic and social development of such 
friendly countries. It is the sense of the Congress that such foreign 
military forces should not be maintained or established solely for civic 
action activities and that such civic action activities not 
significantly detract from the capability of the military forces to 
perform their military missions and be coordinated with and form part of 
the total economic and social development effort.
