Sec. 2414. Presidential findings and determinations


(a) Report to Congress

    In any case in which the President is required to make a report to 
the Congress, or to any committee or officer of either House of 
Congress, concerning any finding or determination under any provision of 
this chapter, the Foreign Military Sales Act [22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.], 
or the Foreign Assistance and Related Programs Appropriation Act for 
each fiscal year, that finding or determination shall be reduced to 
writing and signed by the President.

(b) Action prohibition prior to execution of report

    No action shall be taken pursuant to any such finding or 
determination prior to the date on which that finding or determination 
has been reduced to writing and signed by the President.

(c) Publication in Federal Register

    Each such finding or determination shall be published in the Federal 
Register as soon as practicable after it has been reduced to writing and 
signed by the President. In any case in which the President concludes 
that such publication would be harmful to the national security of the 
United States, only a statement that a determination or finding has been 
made by the President, including the name and section of the Act under 
which it was made, shall be published.

(d) Information accessible to Congress prior to transmission of report

    No committee or officer of either House of Congress shall be denied 
any requested information relating to any finding or determination which 
the President is required to report to the Congress, or to any committee 
or officer of either House of Congress, under any provision of this 
chapter, the Foreign Military Sales Act [22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.], or the 
Foreign Assistance and Related Programs Appropriation Act for each 
fiscal year, even though such report has not yet been transmitted to the 
appropriate committee or officer of either House of Congress.
