President. is the goal of the Omnibus CounterTerrorism Act of 1995. which I introduced along with Senators BIDEN. SPECTER. and others. This legislation will make it a crime to raise funds within the United States for terrorist organizations while simultaneously enhancing the Governments ability to expel those aliens who are. or have been. engaged in terrorist activities. Mr. President. the sad truth is that fundraising for international terrorism now has its roots in Americaand has even reached the Midwest. In fact. in 1993 a group of Palestinian immigrants. linked to the infamous Abu Nidal terrorist organization. actively raised money here for terrorism abroad. Surprisingly. this terrorist cell extended from St. Louis to Dayton to Racine.
