Brown Amendment

law & sanctions.

A 1995 amendment sponsored by Senator Hank Brown that eased the Pressler Amendment’s restrictions on Pakistan. It allowed a one-time release of about $368 million of military equipment that Pakistan had bought before October 1990, while still barring delivery of the 28 F-16 aircraft it had ordered, and limited the Pressler restrictions to military assistance so that economic aid could resume.123
