Hardworking taxpayers deserve to know where their tax dollars are
being spent, and Congress must ensure that programs like the Judgment
Fund are following the law. The American people must be allowed every
available tool to keep their government accountable, and this will be
an important tool. Also, it would ensure a terrorist organization is prohibited from
receiving any taxpayer funds from the Judgment Fund by prohibiting any
foreign terrorist organization, as defined in section 219 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act. That statute clearly classifies a terrorist organization as those who
``engage in terrorist activity or terrorism, and the organization
threatens the security of the United States nationals or the national
security of the United States.''
These terrorist organizations only seek to commit serious harm or
potential targets, of course, including Americans, and I believe this
prohibition is warranted to be included in this important legislation. Let me be clear.
