CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION OF TRANSFERS
Third party transfers are subject to requirements for Congressional notification under AECA, §3(d) (reference (c)), using guidelines similar to those for AECA, §36(b) (reference (c)) notifications (see Chapter 5, section C5.6).

A 30-day prior Congressional notification is required for third-party transfer requests that involve defense articles and services with original acquisition values that fall in one of the following categories: Major Defense Equipment (MDE) with an acquisition value equal to or greater than $14,000,000 for non-North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) recipients and $25,000,000 if the recipient is a member of NATO, Australia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand or Republic of Korea; or any other defense article or related training or defense service with an acquisition value of $50,000,000 or more for non-NATO recipients and $100,000,000 or more for NATO, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand recipients. Approval is granted after the 30-day (including weekends) period has expired if no objections are raised.

Yeah. . .I know about the laws and regs and such, spent decades working in and studying FMS, so that is why I think her activities that might be illegal are in the third-party transfer part.

What I (we) need is actual proof that Qatar did transfer FMS arms and those transfers did not receive congressional approval (i.e., no notification).

That 30-day notification is broke down as 10-days unofficial notification and 20-day official notification. Congress wants time to get a look-see before they are on the clock.

Find that proof and then we can do something. Until then, all documents I've found show FMS arms sales to Qatar were done in accordance with the law.
