Mr. Chairman. I am especially pleased to see the inclusion in this Omnibus AntiTerrorism Act of a provision that directs the President to include the subject of international terrorism on the agenda of the upcoming Tokyo economic summit. to seek the establishment of an international antiterrorism coordinating committee and a provision that urges the President to seek international agreement on the sharing of information on passports and visas in order to more effectively combat terrorism. The President. and indeed all of us who meet with our allies. should take advantage of every opportunity to raise this issue and to seek their greater cooperation in the crucial battle against international terrorism. because the only way we can hope to put a halt to this scourge is by a vigorous and coordinated campaign by all those countries who have an interest in denying the terrorists safe haven and financial or political support. It is not enough for our friends and allies in the world to offer their verbal support for our antiterrorism policy. they must be willing to take economic and political steps to make this world a very difficult place for a terrorist to live in.
