Sec. 2773. Restraint in arms sales to Sub-Saharan Africa

    It is the sense of the Congress that the problems of Sub-Saharan 
Africa are primarily those of economic development and that United 
States policy should assist in limiting the development of costly 
military conflict in that region. Therefore, the President shall 
exercise restraint in selling defense articles and defense services, and 
in providing financing for sales of defense articles and defense 
services, to countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
