This paper examines US security cooperation with Indonesia, which has been improving. According to the authors, full normalization of the relationship is constrained by continuing US congressional restrictions protesting human rights abuses committed in East Timor and elsewhere. The authors argue that the Obama administration should work with Congress to remove those restrictions and to preserve advances made in US-Indonesian relations and build on them in order to advance mutual national security interests.
