Lawful and Authorized
Any program that will result in sharing defense articles, services, or information with another country or
international organization must be law ful and authorized . There are no exceptions .
In order to be "law ful, " the initiative must meet the legal and policy requirements in :
• One or more laws
• Executive Orders
• National policy documents
Each law ful document or its implementing directive "authorizes" a specific U.S. Government organization or
official to make decisions ( and approve in writing ) the sharing of defense articles, services, or information
with another country or international organization .
