To prohibit, through the period ending on December 31, 2007, any Department of Defense participation in any international aviation trade exhibition (known as an "air show") to be held in France.
Summary
This bill would have prohibited the Department of Defense from participating in or supporting any international air shows held in France through the end of 2007. Under this legislation, the U.S. military would have been barred from sending aircraft, personnel, or equipment to these exhibitions, and would have been prevented from providing any assistance to American defense contractors or industry groups attending such events. The practical impact would have been a total absence of official U.S. military presence and government-backed industrial displays at major French aviation events, such as the Paris Air Show, during that four-year period.
