Section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act
(AECA) requires the President to give Congress advance written
notification of the intent to sell defense articles, equipment
and services.
DSCA prepares and delivers the
notifications to Congress only with the approval of the State
Department.
Once Congress has been notified of a proposed arms sale under Section 36(b)
AECA, the President must publish an unclassified version of
the notification in the Federal Register.

Major Arms Sales Notifications below.
