§ 2751. Need for international defense coopera-
tion and military export controls; Presi-
dential waiver; report to Congress; arms
sales policy
As declared by the Congress in the Arms Con-
trol and Disarmament Act [22 U.S.C. 2551 et
seq.], an ultimate goal of the United States con-
tinues to be a world which is free from the
scourge of war and the dangers and burdens of
armaments; in which the use of force has been
subordinated to the rule of law; and in which
international adjustments to a changing world
are achieved peacefully. In furtherance of that
goal, it remains the policy of the United States
to encourage regional arms control and disar-
mament agreements and to discourage arms
races.

United States and other free and independent
countries continue to have valid requirements
for effective and mutually beneficial defense re-
lationships in order to maintain and foster the
environment of international peace and security
essential to social, economic, and political
progress. Because of the growing cost and com-
plexity of defense equipment, it is increasingly
difficult and uneconomic for any country, par-
ticularly a developing country, to fill all of its
legitimate defense requirements from its own
design and production base. The need for inter-
national defense cooperation among the United
States and those friendly countries to which it
is allied by mutual defense treaties is especially
important, since the effectiveness of their armed

compatibility of their defense equipment.
Accordingly, it remains the policy of the
