Senator Murphy Delivers Remarks on Amendment to Place Conditions on Weapons Sales to Saudi Arabia

Senator Murphy delivered remarks on the floor of the U.S. Senate regarding his amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2016 that would place new conditions on future air-to-ground munitions sales to Saudi Arabia. The amendment, introduced with U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), would require the President of the United States to formally certify that the Government of Saudi Arabia is demonstrating an ongoing effort to target terrorist groups, minimize harm to civilians, and facilitate humanitarian assistance before Congress can consider the sale or transfer of air-to-ground munitions to Saudi Arabia.
