113-sres-567 113 sres 567 A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the possible easing of restrictions on the sale of lethal military equipment to the Government of Vietnam. International Affairs 2014-09-18 2014-09-18 Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text of measure as introduced: CR S5797-5798) Senate Sen. McCain, John [R-AZ] AZ R M000303 4 Expresses the sense of the Senate that: Vietnam is an important emerging partner with which the United States increasingly shares strategic and economic interests; the government of Vietnam has recently taken modest but encouraging steps to improve its human rights record; the President, with congressional consultation, should begin a process to ease the U.S. prohibition on the sale of lethal military equipment to Vietnam; easing such prohibition with regard to maritime and coastal defense would further U.S. national security interests, but steps beyond this would require Vietnam to take significant steps to protect human rights; and the United States should support civil society in Vietnam, and specify what human rights steps Vietnam should take to continue strengthening the bilateral relationship. 2023-01-11T13:25:23Z
