Mr. Speaker. this legislation is a step in the right direction. The changes that I like particularly to the Visa Waiver Program are a requirement to share counterterrorism information with the United States and that all visa waiver countries must submit lost and stolen passport information to INTERPOLs database within 24 hours. In May of 2014. a foreign fighter. radicalized on the battlefield in Syria after 1 year. traveled back to Europe. He traveled through Turkey and through Germany. It is believed that Germany had information on this individual. but it failed to share that information with its neighbors France and Belgium.
