Referred to House (sub)committee

14 cosponsors

Would prohibit a $111 m. arms sale to Turkey proposed by the Obama administration. Berkley and five other members circulated a Dear Colleague letter to members of the House urging them to support this resolution because of Turkey’s aggressive posture toward Israel, and strengthening of ties with Hamas, among other things. There was no indication that Israel opposed the sale.
