Abstract:
The U.S. arms export licensing process can be time-consuming and confusing. Ratification of defense trade cooperation treaties with the United Kingdom and Australia would reduce barriers to the advantage of all three countries, provide a more direct route to participation in U.S. defense acquisition programs, and help to expand and strengthen America's defense industrial base.
