SEC. 26.48 DEFENSE REQUIREMENT SURVEYS.-(a) The Congress finds that defense requirement surveys prepared by the United States for foreign countries have had a significant impact on subsequent military procurement decisions of those countries. It is the policy of the United States that the results of defense requirement surveys conducted by the United States clearly do not represent a commitment by the United States to provide any military equipment to any foreign country. Further, recommendations in such surveys should be consistent with the arms export control policy provided for in this Act.

(b) As part of the quarterly report required by section 36(a) of this Act, the President shall include a list of all defense requirement surveys authorized during the preceding calendar quarter, specifying the country with respect to which the survey was or will be conducted, the purpose of the survey, and the number of United States Government personnel who participated or will participate in the survey.

(c) Upon a request of the chairman of the Committee on International Relations of the House of Representatives or the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, the President shall grant that committee access to defense requirement surveys conducted by United States Government personnel.
