White House Plans Sale of Missiles to Pakistan
From Times Wire Reports
The Bush administration said it was planning to let Pakistan buy advanced Boeing Harpoon anti-ship missiles and related equipment valued at up to $370 million.

The notice does not mean a sale has been concluded, and Congress could intervene.
