Full Bill:
So, the US Congress is obliging the US President in no more than 180 days to give an assessment of Israel's defense capabilities so the US can maintain its qualitative edge and support it with the latest needed technologies, paid for by billions in US taxpayer dollars, and note there is no spending cap! All Israel has to do is leak (or sell) that technology to other countries (like China) and then the "qualitative edge" is gone, and Israel can legally demand more money from the US taxpayer. This is a suction tube into your wallet and there is no shut-off valve!
