Excerpt from Iraq Claims Act of 1993: Hearings and Markup Before the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and Its Subcommittee on Europe and the Middle East of the House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress First Session on H. R. 3221, October 13, 14, 20, and 28, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to call, at 9:10 a.m., in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Lee H. Hamilton (chairman) presiding. Opening Statement Of Hon. Lee H. Hamilton Chairman Hamilton. Come to order. We welcome as our witnesses today, Mike Matheson, the Principal Deputy Legal Adviser of the Department of State; Mr. Richard Newcomb, Director of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury. We have called these witnesses to explain the administration´s request for legislation to adjudicate the claims of U.S. nationals against Iraq. Now, I have introduced this legislation in a slightly redrafted form as H. R. 3221, the Iraq Claims Act of 1993. It is scheduled for markup by this committee tomorrow at 10 a.m. All of us have a few questions about the legislation, but we would like to hear your brief statements from both witnesses before we begin. It doesn´t make any difference to the Chair who begins first. Mr. Matheson, please go ahead. Thank you for joining us. Statement Of Michael J. Matheson, Principal Deputy Legal Adviser, U.S. Department Of State Mr. Matheson. Thank you, very much, Mr. Chairman and members of the committee. We very much appreciate the opportunity to appear before the committee today in support of the proposed Iraq Claims Act of 1993. The administration strongly supports this legislation. We believe that it would provide a fair and orderly system for resolving the claims of U.S. nationals and the U.S. Government against Iraq. It would help to implement the system set up by the United Nations that will compensate the victims of Iraq´s invasion and occupation of Kuwait from the proceeds of future Iraqi oil sales. In addition, it would authorize us to provide compensation for claims that are not within the jurisdiction of the U. N. Compensation Commission from Iraqi assets frozen in the United States. For example, the claims of members of military forces who served in the Persian Gulf are not covered by the U. N. program. In addition, the U. N. program does not cover prewar claims against Iraq.
