Prohibits obligating any of the funds appropriated under the Arms Export Control Act for any programs not justified, or in excess of the amount justified, to the Congress for obligation for any fiscal year unless specified committees of the Congress are notified 15 days before such obligation. Excludes from such a notification requirement development assistance funds if the obligation will exceed the justified amount by no more than 10 percent. Provides that such notification requirement does not apply to the reprogramming of less than $25,000 for use under the international narcotics control program or for use under the international military education and training program for a country for which a program under such program for that fiscal year was justified to the Congress. Requires the President to notify the Congress, within 30 days of enactment of any law appropriating funds to carry out the Arms Export Control Act, of each country and organization to which the United States intends to provide any portion of such funds. Deletes the provision which imposes specified reporting requirements on granting military or economic assistance which exceeds by ten percent or more the amount set forth in the President's annual report on allocation of foreign assistance funds. Amends the Arms Export Control Act to require the President to include all sales (currently cash sales, credits, and guaranty agreements) in the President's annual report to the Congress on military exports. Amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to declare that no law shall be construed to prohibit training assistance funded by such Act and consistent with specified provisions of such Act for Brazil or Argentina as long as such countries continue to have democratically elected governments. Prohibits, subject to a specified exception, providing military assistance or extending foreign military financing to a non-nuclear weapon state which on or after enactment of this Act exports illegally from the United States any material, equipment, or technology which would contribute significantly to the ability of such country to build a nuclear explosive device, if the President determines that such illegal exports were to be used by such country to build such a device. Authorizes using funds made available under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 for programs to assist in halting illegal emigration from Haiti to the United States. Amends the Internal Revenue Code to exclude from tax withholding provisions the amounts of scholarships or fellowship grants paid by the United States to a nonresident alien who is engaged in training in the United States under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. Authorizes the President to make development assistance funds and Economic Support Fund monies available for humanitarian aid to the Afghan people during FY 1985 and 1986. Amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to make certain technical amendments. Expresses a reaffirmation of U.S. policy prohibiting negotiations with the PLO so long as the PLO does not recognize Israel's right to exist and does not accept Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. Directs the President to report to the Congress by June 1, 1986 on efforts to achieve long term agricultural commodity agreements to help stabilize and increase the flow of concessional and commercial food stuffs with food deficit countries.
