    ``(a) After the enactment of this section [Nov. 22, 1983], funds

or for the delivery of any goods or services of any kind to the

shall deobligate all funds which have been obligated for Syria under the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 [this chapter] prior to the enactment of 
this section [Nov. 22, 1983], except that--
        ``(1) such funds may continue to be used to finance the training 
    or studies outside of Syria of students whose course of study began 
    before the enactment of this section;
        ``(2) the Administrator may adopt as a contract of the United 
    States Government any contract with a United States or third-country 
    contractor which would otherwise be terminated pursuant to this 
    subsection, and may assume in whole or in part any liabilities 
    arising under such contract, except that the authority provided by 
    this paragraph may be exercised only to the extent that budget 
    authority is available to meet the obligations of the United States 
    under such contracts; and
        ``(3) amounts certified pursuant to section 1311 of the 
    Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1955 [31 U.S.C. 1108(c), 1501,

    II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 [this part] shall continue 
    to be available until expended to meet necessary expenses arising 
    from the termination of assistance programs for Syria pursuant to 
    this subsection.''
    Section 101(b)(1) of Pub. L. 98-151 provided that: ``None of the 
funds heretofore appropriated or otherwise made available for Syria for 
the purposes of carrying out the provisions of chapter 4 of part II of 
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 [this part] shall be expended after 
the date of enactment of this joint resolution [Nov. 14, 1983]. The 
Administrator of the Agency for International Development is directed to 
terminate the economic assistance program to Syria and to deobligate all 
funds heretofore obligated for assistance to Syria, except that such 
funds may continue to be available to finance the training or studies 
outside of Syria of students whose course of study or training program 
began before enactment of this joint resolution. The Administrator of 
the Agency for International Development is authorized to adopt as a 
contract of the United States Government, and assume any liabilities

States contractor which had been funded by the Agency for International

predecessor legislation) for Syria are hereby continued available until 
expended to meet necessary expenses arising from the termination under 
this subsection of assistance programs for Syria authorized by such 
chapter: Provided, That this shall not be construed as permitting 
payments or reimbursements of any kind to the Government of Syria.''


         Negotiations Between Israel and Egypt; Promotion, Etc.

    Section 28 of Pub. L. 95-384 provided that:
    ``(a) The Congress finds that--
        ``(1) a lasting settlement of the Arab-Israel conflict is vital 
    to United States national interests as well as to the interests of 
    the countries of the region;
        ``(2) support for a strong and secure Israel and the maintenance 
    for this purpose of Israel's effective defense capabilities as 
    essential to peace remains a fundamental tenet of United States 
    foreign policy;
        ``(3) direct, face-to-face negotiations between Israel and Egypt 
    without preconditions is an historic opening for peace, and the 
    support of such negotiations by other moderate Arab countries, can 
    best promote a peace settlement based on mutual concessions and 
    accommodations;
        ``(4) the establishment of secure, recognized, and defensible 
    borders between Israel and its neighbors will discourage 
    hostilities; and
        ``(5) full, normalized relations between Israel and its Arab 
    neighbors, including trade, travel, tourism, communications, and 
    diplomatic relations are vital for peace.
    ``(b) It is the sense of the Congress that the Government of the 
United States should continue to promote direct negotiations between 
Israel and Egypt and to encourage other Arab countries to enter into 
negotiations leading to peace treaties with Israel.
    ``(c) It is further the sense of the Congress that the United States 
should be responsive to Israel's economic needs and defense 
requirements, including the provision of additional advanced aircraft, 
in order to maintain Israel's defense capability which is essential to 
peace.''
