Summary

Defense and Security Assistance Act of 2000 - Title I: Security Assistance - Amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to set the maximum value of additions to stockpiles of defense articles in foreign countries in FY 2001. Makes amounts available for such stockpiles in the Republic of Korea. Authorizes the President to transfer to Israel certain obsolete or surplus defense articles in return for concessions to be negotiated by the Secretary of State. Authorizes for FY 2000 and 2001 the use of Department of Defense funds for crating, packing, handling, and transporting excess defense articles to Mongolia. Expresses the sense of Congress that the U.S. Government should work with the Government of the Republic of the Philippines to enable it to procure certain military equipment that can be used to upgrade the capabilities and improve the quality of life of the armed forces of the Philippines. Amends the Arms Export Control Act to authorize the President to exempt a foreign country from the licensing requirements of this Act with respect to exports of defense items only if the U.S. Government has concluded a bilateral agreement with such country (except Canada) that requires it to establish an export control regime at least comparable to that employed by the United States with respect to such defense items and other controlled information and technologies. Prohibits the President from authorizing an exemption for a foreign country until specified congressional committees are notified with respect to such exemption. Declares that a certain certification to Congress with respect to the application for a license for the export of major defense equipment totaling $14 million or more or of defense articles or defense services totaling $50 million or more shall not be required for an application for a license for export of a commercial communications satellite designated on the U.S. Munitions List for launch from, and by nationals of, the United States, or the territory of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries, the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Australia, Japan, or New Zealand. Title II: Transfers of Naval Vessels - Authorizes the President to transfer certain naval vessels to: (1) Brazil; (2) Chile; (3) Greece; and (4) Turkey. Sets forth requirements with respect to: (1) the transfer of naval vessels on a combined lease-sale basis (including the funding of costs related to such transfers); (2) the repair of transferred vessels at U.S. and U.S. Navy shipyards; and (3) the transfer of naval vessels on a grant basis.
