We ought to be proud of those foresighted efforts to keep the fight high on the foreign policy agenda of our State Department. We must also help prevent easy entry into our Nation of members of terrorist groups whose purpose is to harm our Nation. In the counterterrorism bill that became law in April 1996. Congress included an amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act [INA] to exclude entry into the U.S. based on "mere membership" in defined terrorist groups. It is now law. despite a lukewarm response from the administration. Sadly. to date this law pertaining to designating terrorist groups has yet to be implemented.
