In a voice vote earlier this week, the House of Representatives approved a major change in US policy governing weapons sales. In an overwhelming vote Tuesday night, the House adopted a '’code of conduct'’ for countries seeking to buy US arms.
Under the proposed code, US military assistance and arms transfers could be provided only to nations certified by the president as democratic, protective of human rights and not involved in any acts of armed aggression.
