HAQQANI NETWORK TERRORIST 

DESIGNATION ACT OF 2012 

Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask 

the Chair to lay before the Senate a 

message from the House with respect 

to S. 1959. 

The Presiding officer laid before the 

Senate the following message from the 

House of Representatives: 

Resolved, That the bill from the Senate (S. 

1959) entitled ‘‘An Act to require a report on 

the designation of the Haqqani Network as a 

foreign terrorist organization and for other 

purposes,’’ do pass with the following amendment: 

Strike out all after the enacting clause and 

insert: 

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Haqqani Network Terrorist Designation Act of 2012’’. 

SEC. 2. REPORT ON DESIGNATION OF THE 

HAQQANI NETWORK AS A FOREIGN 

TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. 

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following 

findings: 

(1) A report of the Congressional Research 

Service on relations between the United States 

and Pakistan states that ‘‘[t]he terrorist network led by Jalaluddin Haqqani and his son 

Sirajuddin, based in the FATA, is commonly 

identified as the most dangerous of Afghan insurgent groups battling U.S.-led forces in eastern Afghanistan’’. 

(2) The report further states that, in mid-2011, 

the Haqqanis undertook several high-visibility 

attacks in Afghanistan. First, a late June assault on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul by 

8 Haqqani gunmen and suicide bombers left 18 

people dead. Then, on September 10, a truck 

bomb attack on a United States military base by 

Haqqani fighters in the Wardak province injured 77 United States troops and killed 5 Afghans. A September 13 attack on the United 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with SENATE
July 26, 2012 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — SENATE S5625 

States Embassy compound in Kabul involved an 

assault that sparked a 20-hour-long gun battle 

and left 16 Afghans dead, 5 police officers and 

at least 6 children among them. 

(3) The report further states that ‘‘U.S. and 

Afghan officials concluded the Embassy 

attackers were members of the Haqqani network’’. 

(4) In September 22, 2011, testimony before the 

Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, 

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral 

Mullen stated that ‘‘[t]he Haqqani network, for 

one, acts as a veritable arm of Pakistan’s InterServices Intelligence agency. With ISI support, 

Haqqani operatives plan and conducted that 

[September 13] truck bomb attack, as well as the 

assault on our embassy. We also have credible 

evidence they were behind the June 28th attack 

on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul and a 

host of other smaller but effective operations’’. 

(5) In October 27, 2011, testimony before the 

Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 

Representatives, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated that ‘‘we are taking action to target 

the Haqqani leadership on both sides of the border. We’re increasing international efforts to 

squeeze them operationally and financially. We 

are already working with the Pakistanis to target those who are behind a lot of the attacks 

against Afghans and Americans. And I made it 

very clear to the Pakistanis that the attack on 

our embassy was an outrage and the attack on 

our forward operating base that injured 77 of 

our soldiers was a similar outrage.’’. 

(6) At the same hearing, Secretary of State 

Clinton further stated that ‘‘I think everyone 

agrees that the Haqqani Network has safe havens inside Pakistan; that those safe havens 

give them a place to plan and direct operations 

that kill Afghans and Americans.’’. 

(7) On November 1, 2011, the United States 

Government added Haji Mali Kahn to a list of 

specially designated global terrorists under Executive Order 13224. The Department of State 

described Khan as ‘‘a Haqqani Network commander’’ who has ‘‘overseen hundreds of fighters, and has instructed his subordinates to conduct terrorist acts.’’ The designation continued, 

‘‘Mali Khan has provided support and logistics 

to the Haqqani Network, and has been involved 

in the planning and execution of attacks in Afghanistan against civilians, coalition forces, 

and Afghan police’’. According to Jason 

Blazakis, the chief of the Terrorist Designations 

Unit of the Department of State, Khan also has 

links to al-Qaeda. 

(8) Five other top Haqqani Network leaders 

have been placed on the list of specially designated global terrorists under Executive Order 

13224 since 2008, and three of them have been so 

placed in the last year. Sirajuddin Haqqani, the 

overall leader of the Haqqani Network as well as 

the leader of the Taliban’s Mira shah Regional 

Military Shura, was designated by the Secretary 

of State as a terrorist in March 2008, and in 

March 2009, the Secretary of State put out a 

bounty of $5,000,000 for information leading to 

his capture. The other four individuals so designated are Nasiruddin Haqqani, Khalil al 

Rahman Haqqani, Badruddin Haqqani, and 

Mullah Sangeen Zadran. 

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of 

Congress that— 

(1) the Haqqani Network meets the criteria for 

designation as a foreign terrorist organization 

as set forth in section 219 of the Immigration 

and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189); and 

(2) the Secretary of State should so designate 

the Haqqani Network as a foreign terrorist organization under such section 219. 

(c) REPORT.— 

(1) REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than 30 days 

after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 

Secretary of State shall submit to the appropriate committees of Congress— 

(A) a detailed report on whether the Haqqani 

Network meets the criteria for designation as a 

foreign terrorist organization as set forth in section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act 

(8 U.S.C. 1189); and 

(B) if the Secretary determines that the 

Haqqani Network does not meet the criteria set 

forth under such section 219, a detailed justification as to which criteria have not been 

met. 

(2) FORM.—The report required by paragraph 

(1) shall be submitted in unclassified form, but 

may include a classified annex. 

(3) APPROPRIATE COMMITTEES OF CONGRESS

DEFINED.—In this subsection, the term ‘‘appropriate committees of Congress’’ means— 

(A) the Committee on Armed Services, the 

Committee on Foreign Relations, the Committee 

on the Judiciary, and the Select Committee on 

Intelligence of the Senate; and 

(B) the Committee on Armed Services, the 

Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Committee on 

the Judiciary, and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives. 

(d) CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this Act may 

be construed to infringe upon the sovereignty of 

Pakistan to combat militant or terrorist groups 

operating inside the boundaries of Pakistan. 

Mr. SCHUMER. I make a motion to 

concur in the House amendment, and I 

know of no further debate on this 

measure. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The 

question is on agreeing to the motion. 

The motion was agreed to. 

Mr. SCHUMER. I ask unanimous consent that the motion to reconsider be

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in 

Congress assembled, 

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Lions Clubs 

International Century of Service Commemorative Coin Act’’. 

SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 

The Congress finds as follows: 

(1) Lions Clubs International is the world’s 

largest service club organization founded in 

1917 by Chicago business leader Melvin 

Jones. Lions Clubs International empowers 

volunteers to serve their communities, meet 

humanitarian needs, encourage peace and 

promote international understanding 

through Lions clubs. 

(2) Today, Lions Clubs International has 

over 1.35 million members in more than 

45,000 clubs globally, extending its mission of 

service throughout the world every day. 

(3) In 1945, Lions Clubs International became one of the first nongovernmental organizations invited to assist in drafting the 

United Nations Charter and has enjoyed a 

special relationship with the United Nations 

ever since. 

(4) In 1968, Lions Clubs International Foundation was established to assist with global 

and large-scale local humanitarian projects 

and has since then awarded more than $700 

million to fund five unique areas of service: 

preserving sight, combating disability, promoting health, serving youth and providing 

disaster relief. 

(5) In 1990, the Lions Clubs International 

Foundation launched the SightFirst program 

to build comprehensive eye care systems to 

fight the major causes of blindness and care 

for the blind or visually impaired. Thanks to 

the generosity of Lions worldwide, over $415 

million has been raised, resulting in the prevention of serious vision loss in 30 million 

people and improved eye care for hundreds of 

millions of people.

need throughout the world.
