The bill, H.R. 1392, would bar sales, authorizations and transfer of arms and other defense services from the president to Saudi Arabia. President Joe Biden, however, could continue sales if he can certify the country is not engaged in killing, torturing or endangering the lives of dissidents and detaining U.S. and international citizens.

The legislation, which passed 350-71, is sponsored by Rep. Gerry Connolly , who represents Khashoggi’s district in Virginia. “Jamal Khashoggi’s brutal murder and dismemberment will not be forgotten, and it will not go unaddressed,”In February, the Biden administration released

Wonderful!

They should follow up with sanctions.
