Speech #970053405

I would like to call attention to legislation I have drafted. the omnibus antiterrorism bill of 1981. which provides for the creation of a list of countries that support or abet international terrorism. My legislation is intended to make it clear to governments that any government engaging in terrorism can expect the United States of America to exact a price in return and respond with appropriate action. Once it is determined that a government sanctions or engages in terrorism. the visas of students from that country studying in America would be canceled. The President could also stop or withdraw all foreign aid directed to that country and halt any pending or existing sales or guarantees related to defensp materials. Current or future export licenses for commodities or technical data with military potential could also be stopped and dutyfree GSP treatment could be withdrawn.
