This bill would repeal the joint resolution known as "A joint resolution to promote peace and stability in the Middle East," which was originally passed in 1957 as Public Law 85-7. The repeal would take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted into law. The original resolution authorized presidential action regarding Middle East conflicts and has been a foundational authority for U.S. military and diplomatic involvement in the region for decades. The bill was introduced by Representatives Spanberger, Gallagher, Roy, Hageman, Ogles, and Lee in June 2023 and was referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. No specific funding or additional provisions are included in this legislation, which is primarily a straightforward repeal of the outdated Cold War-era authorization.
