Excerpt from International Terrorism: Hearing Before the Select Committee on Intelligence of the United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session on International Terrorism Thursday, August 1, 1996 The Select Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:35 a.m., in room SH-216, Hart Senate Office Building, the Honorable Arlen Specter, Chairman of the Committee, presiding. Present: Senators Specter, Shelby, Kyl, Hutchison, Cohen, Kerrey of Nebraska, Glenn, Bryan, Graham of Florida, Kerry of Massachusetts, Robb, and Thompson. Also present: Charles Battaglia, staff director; Chris Straub, minority staff director; Suzanne Spaulding, chief counsel; and Kathleen McGhee, chief clerk. Chairman Specter. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence will now proceed. Within the past 40 days we have had three major tragedies: in Dhahran on June 25, with TWA Flight 800, and last Saturday, in Atlanta with a pipe bomb. And these tragedies have occurred against a background of terrorism which has gone on for a long time in a very intense way. And we´re going to be considering some of the issues on terrorism this morning in our hearing, focusing on domestic terrorism and legislation which is currently pending before the Congress, with an effort being made to produce some legislation in response to the President´s request. There is a general consensus that there is a need for additional legislation, but also a strong view that we have to do it right and not rush to judgment. A good many of the provisions, perhaps ultimately all, will be ones which have been considered before, so they have been subjected to hearings, discussion, drafting. And we´ll have a good idea as to where they stand. We will be hearing from two former Secretaries of Defense, Caspar Weinberger and James Schlesinger, in a second panel which will focus, to a significant extent, on the question of state-sponsored terrorism. We are still looking at the incident of Dhahran with a question as to whether there is any state-sponsored terrorism involved there. We do not draw any conclusions; very important not to draw conclusions until we really know. But we have had a significant history of state-sponsored terrorism, with Libya being involved in the blowing up of the German discotheque, killing two Americans; with our retaliation in April 1986 with the bombing; and then with the blowing up of Pan Am 103, where the State Department made an official finding that Libya was involved. Speaking only for myself, I believe our response to Libya has been inadequate. We have two men under indictment in Libya.
