DESCRIPTION:In 2016 IRmep filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging U.S. foreign aid 
 to Israel and a 2012 federal gag order on the release of information about 
 Israel's nuclear weapons program. News of the lawsuit generated headlines 
 around the 
 world.\n\nhttp://www.jpost.com/International/Lawsuit-claims-US-aid-to-Israel-violates-nuclear-pact-464014\n\nNow 
 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, courtroom action 
 is again heating up as the Department of Justice prepares to file its 
 long-delayed appellee brief on November 8. Join IRmep Director of Research 
 Grant F. Smith for a lively presentation and Q&A session about this 
 potentially ground-breaking lawsuit. Topics will include:\n\n1. What are 
 the overall goals of the lawsuit challenging the nuclear gag order and 
 foreign aid?\n2. What is WPN-136, "the Israel nuclear gag-order," and why 
 is it important?\n3. What are the Symington and Glenn amendments to the US 
 Arms Export Control Act? How do they impact aid to clandestine nuclear 
 weapons countries?\n4. Have any parties ever sued to stop U.S. foreign aid 
 to Israel? If so, what happened to their cases?\n5. What happened to 
 IRmep's attempt to enjoin U.S. foreign aid to Israel in the Lower Court? 
 What is happening in the Court of Appeals?\n6. What gives IRmep standing to 
 sue on such matters?\n7. What other related lawsuits has IRmep filed, on 
 secret CIA aid to Israel, U.S. Treasury Department activities, and the 
 diversion of US weapons grade uranium to Israel, and how are they 
 doing?\n8. What tactics do defendants commonly deploy in responding? How 
 much leniency do they obtain from judges?\n\nAll conference call 
 registrants will receive an access code, email reminders, a numbered soft 
 copy of materials presented online, and the opportunity to submit 
 questions.\n\nThis conference call will be recorded.\n
