As previously discussed, Section 224 of the defense authorization bill in House Committee now, would give Israel free access to US military R&D and procurement.

Senate wants to force US to share sensitive intel with Israel
Buried deep inside a 192-page intelligence authorization bill is Section 622, titled “United States-Israel Intelligence Sharing Enhancement.” It would require the president, acting through the director of national intelligence and as necessary the secretary of defense, to “expand and enhance intelligence sharing with the Government of Israel” on a list of subjects that encompasses almost every topic of intelligence interest in the Middle East.
The bill, put forward by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, would prohibit any suspension, reduction, or limitation of such sharing “except on the basis of a specific and identifiable national security concern determined by the President.” Any such exception would require a report to Congress within fifteen days detailing not only the reason for the change but also the categories of information involved. The same report would require an assessment of the anticipated impact on regional security and various other matters.msn.com - Senate wants to force US to share sensitive intel with israelYears ago, I started barking about POTUS candidates "making a pilgrimage to AIPAC to pledge fealty to Israel". Are we feeling servile enough, yet?
