Bill overview
This bill directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to produce a report examining how delays in the delivery of U.S. arms to Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines impact the Department of Defense’s ability to maintain a strong defense posture in the First Island Chain. The report will assess the effects of these delays, considering factors like bureaucratic processes, industrial production, and prioritization of arms sales. It will also evaluate the broader impact of other arms sales authorities on this defense capability and must be submitted to Congress.
