Another Republican initiative in this bill requires the State Department to modernize its antiquated terrorist lookout system. That system failed to catch the radical Egyptian Sheikh. Abodel Rahman. who has been implicated in the $600 million bombing of the World Trade Center in New York. Sheikh Abodel Rahman repeatedly entered and exited the United States over a period of years--and was even granted a green card. All this happened while the Sheikh was on the State Department lookout list for his past terrorist associations. Again. this bill is fiscally responsible. and is the result of genuine bipartisan cooperation among members of the Subcommittee on International Operations.
