President George W. BushThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Ave, NWWashington, D.C.

Mr. President:

We are writing to express serious concerns over the administration's plan to sell Joint DirectAttack Munition (JDAM) technology to Saudi Arabia without solid assurances that suchweapons cannot be used against American or allied forces.

JDAM technology transforms unguided conventional bombs into precision munitions withhighly accurate targeting capabilities. If it falls into the wrong hands, JDAM technology couldsignificantly harm U.S. forces in the region and undercut Israel's qualitative military edge.

Saudi Arabia remains in a formal state of war with Israel-the preeminent democracy in theMiddle East. Additionally, Saudi groups continue to export Wahabi extremist ideologythroughout the world-an anti-American ideology we face on the battlefields of the Global Waron Terror.

Any sale of JDAM technology to Saudi Arabia must come with guarantees backed by strictconditions notified to Congress followed by regular reporting, tight Congressional oversight andintense consultations with our ally Israel.

We understand the grave threat posed to the United States, Europe, Israel, Turkey and others bythe emergence of a nuclear Iran with ballistic missile capability. We also know that a morestable, secure Gulf Region advances the interests of the United States and our allies.

However, the administration must guarantee to Congress' satisfaction that selling JDAMs toSaudi Arabia will not harm U.S. forces or our democratic ally Israel. Without such assurances,we will oppose the sale.

We look forward to working with you to counter the Iranian threat in a waynational security and the long-term safety of our democratic allies.
