22 U.S.C. § 8604: Reports required

Summary

The President must send a report to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee about Israel’s qualitative military edge no later than 180 days after July 27, 2012. If that report is filed within one year of the due date for the first quadrennial report required under section 201(c)(2) of the Naval Vessel Transfer Act of 2008 (Public Law 110–429; 22 U.S.C. 2776 note), it may be used instead of that quadrennial report. Also by the same 180-day deadline, the President must report to the proper congressional committees on three things: ways to speed up and cut costs in Israel’s purchase of F–35 aircraft, efforts to expand U.S.–Israel cooperation in homeland security, counter‑terrorism, maritime security, energy, cyber‑security and related areas, and actions to include Israel in the defense of the Eastern Mediterranean.
