§ 5201. Findings; determinations

(a) Findings

The Congress finds that—

(1) Middle East terrorism accounted for 60

percent of total international terrorism in

1985;

(2) the Palestine Liberation Organization

(hereafter in this chapter referred to as the

‘‘PLO’’) was directly responsible for the murder of an American citizen on the Achille

Lauro cruise liner in 1985, and a member of the

PLO’s Executive Committee is under indictment in the United States for the murder of

that American citizen;

(3) the head of the PLO has been implicated

in the murder of a United States Ambassador

overseas;

(4) the PLO and its constituent groups have

taken credit for, and been implicated in, the

murders of dozens of American citizens

abroad;

(5) the PLO covenant specifically states that

‘‘armed struggle is the only way to liberate

Palestine, thus it is an overall strategy, not

merely a tactical phase’’;

(6) the PLO rededicated itself to the ‘‘continuing struggle in all its armed forms’’ at the

Palestine National Council meeting in April

1987; and

(7) the Attorney General has stated that

‘‘various elements of the Palestine Liberation

Organization and its allies and affiliates are in

the thick of international terror’’.

(b) Determinations

Therefore, the Congress determines that the

PLO and its affiliates are a terrorist organization and a threat to the interests of the United

States, its allies, and to international law and

should not benefit from operating in the United

States.
