               TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
 
                     CHAPTER 39--ARMS EXPORT CONTROL
 
          SUBCHAPTER II--FOREIGN MILITARY SALES AUTHORIZATIONS
 
Sec. 2766. Security assistance surveys


(a) Statement of findings and policy

    The Congress finds that security assistance surveys prepared by the 
United States for foreign countries have had a significant impact on 
subsequent military procurement decisions of those countries. It is the 
policy of the United States that the results of security assistance 
surveys conducted by the United States clearly do not represent a 
commitment by the United States to provide any military equipment to any 
foreign country. Further, recommendations in such surveys should be 
consistent with the arms export control policy provided for in this 
chapter.

(b) Reporting requirements

    As part of the quarterly report required by section 2776(a) of this 
title, the President shall include a list of all security assistance 
surveys authorized during the preceding calendar quarter, specifying the 
country with respect to which the survey was or will be conducted, the 
purpose of the survey, and the number of United States Government 
personnel who participated or will participate in the survey.

(c) Submission of surveys to Congress

    Upon a request of the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
of the House of Representatives or the chairman of the Committee on 
Foreign Relations of the Senate, the President shall submit to that 
committee copies of security assistance surveys conducted by United 
States Government personnel.

(d) ``Security assistance surveys'' defined

    As used in this section, the term ``security assistance surveys'' 
means any survey or study conducted in a foreign country by United 
States Government personnel for the purpose of assessing the needs of 
that country for security assistance, and includes defense requirement 
surveys, site surveys, general surveys or studies, and engineering 
assessment surveys.
