Also, when such proposed transfers involve items valued at $50 million or more, or $14 million or more of MDE, they must be reported to Congress and are subject to a joint resolution of disapproval. Finally, as a condition of such transfers, the country acquiring the items must agree to obtain the consent of the DoS in the event of a future sale to yet another country."
  • Revised: "The transfer from its current owner to a foreign government or any private entity of U.S. defense articles, services, training, or information originally acquired from the United States by a foreign government. As a condition of any U.S. Government authorized sale, lease or grant, the divesting party must agree to obtain the written consent of the Department of State prior to any temporary or permanent retransfer of, or access to, U.S.-provided defense articles, data, services, and training to a third party, defined as anyone not an officer, employee, or agent (defined as freight forwarder only) of the divesting government or of the USG. The term is also used to refer to the requirement to seek prior Department of State approval for modifications, changes in end-use, and disposal."
