The 9111 Commission Report was pretty prescient on this point. It said: "The U.S. Government cannot meet its own obligations to the American people to prevent the entry of terrorists without a major effort to collaborate with other governments." The report said further: "We should do more to exchange terrorist information with trusted allies and raise U.S. and global borders security standards for travel and border crossing. over the medium and long term. through extensive international cooperation." This is what the bill does. And. frankly. the Department of State here and the Department of Homeland Security. giving them this authorization to develop this opensource software. to vet those travelers against terrorist watch lists and against those law enforcement databases. is absolutely vital. I will just mention that the socalled Islamic Statewe call it Daesh or ISIShas already threatened to send hundreds of its European fighters back to the continent to carry out attacks like those attacks that they have already carried out in Paris and Brussels and. frankly. attacks like the one they carried out in San Bernardino.
