TITLE V—KOBY MANDELL ACT 
SEC. 501. SHORT TITLE. 
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Koby Mandell Act of 
2003’’. 
SEC. 502. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Numerous American citizens have been mur-
dered or maimed by terrorists around the world, in-
cluding more than one hundred murdered since 1968 
in terrorist attacks occurring in Israel or in terri-
tories administered by Israel or in territories admin-
istered by the Palestinian Authority. 
(2) Some American citizens who have been vic-
tims of terrorism overseas, especially those harmed by 
terrorists operating from areas administered by the 
Palestinian Authority, have not received from the 
United States Government services equal to those re-
ceived by other such victims of overseas terrorism. 
(3) The United States Government has not de-
voted adequate efforts or resources to the apprehension 
of terrorists who have harmed American citizens over-
seas, particularly in cases involving terrorists oper-
ating from areas administered by the Palestinian Au-
thority. Monetary rewards for information leading to 
the capture of terrorists overseas, which the govern-
ment advertises in regions where the terrorists are be-
lieved to be hiding, have not been advertised in areas 
administered by the Palestinian Authority. 
(4) This situation is especially grave in the 
areas administered by the Palestinian Authority, be-
cause many terrorists involved in the murders of
Americans are walking free there; some of these ter-
rorists have been given positions in the Palestinian 
Authority security forces or other official Palestinian 
Authority agencies; and a number of schools, streets, 
and other public sites have been named in honor of 
terrorists who were involved in the murder of Ameri-
cans. 
(5) To remedy these and related problems, an of-
fice should be established within the Department of 
Justice for the purpose of ensuring equally vigorous 
efforts to capture all terrorists who have harmed 
American citizens overseas and equal treatment for 
all American victims of overseas terrorism. 
SEC. 503. ESTABLISHMENT OF AN OFFICE IN THE DEPART-
MENT OF JUSTICE TO UNDERTAKE SPECIFIC 
STEPS TO FACILITATE THE CAPTURE OF TER-
RORISTS WHO HAVE HARMED AMERICAN CITI-
ZENS OVERSEAS AND TO ENSURE THAT ALL 
AMERICAN 
VICTIMS 
OF 
OVERSEAS 
TER-
RORISM ARE TREATED EQUALLY. 
The President shall establish within the Department 
of Justice an office (hereinafter in this title the ‘‘Office’’) 
to carry out the following activities:
(1) The Office shall create the Bringing Terror-
ists to Justice program, and in so doing will ensure 
that—
(A) rewards are offered to capture all ter-
rorists involved in harming American citizens 
overseas, regardless of the terrorists’ country of 
origin or residence; 
(B) such rewards are prominently adver-
tised in the mass media and public sites in all 
countries or regions where such terrorists reside; 
(C) the names and photographs and sus-
pects in all such cases are included on a web 
site; and 
(D) the names of the specific organizations 
claiming responsibility for terrorist attacks men-
tioned on the site are included in the descrip-
tions of those attacks. 
(2) The Office shall establish and administer a 
program which will provide notification for American 
victims of overseas terrorism or their immediate fam-
ily to update them on the status of efforts to capture 
the terrorists who harmed them. 
(3) The Office shall work with the other United 
States government agencies to expand legal restric-
tions on the ability of murderers to reap profits from
books or movies concerning their crimes—the ‘‘Son of 
Sam’’ laws that currently exist in many States, so as 
to ensure that terrorists who harm American citizens 
overseas are unable to profit from book or movie sales 
in the United States. 
(4) The Office shall endeavor to determine if ter-
rorists who have harmed American citizens overseas 
are serving in their local police or security forces. 
Whenever it is found that terrorists who have harmed 
American citizens overseas are serving in their local 
police or security forces, the Office shall alert those 
United States Government agencies involved in pro-
viding assistance, directly or indirectly, to those 
forces, and shall request of those agencies that all such 
assistance be halted until the aforementioned terror-
ists are removed from their positions. 
(5) The Office shall undertake a comprehensive 
assessment of the pattern of United States indict-
ments and prosecution of terrorists who have harmed 
American citizens overseas, in order to determine the 
reasons for the absence of indictments of terrorists re-
siding in some regions, such as the territories con-
trolled by the Palestinian Authority. The Office’s as-
sessment shall then be provided to the Attorney Gen-
eral, together with its recommendations.
(6) The Office shall endeavor to monitor public 
actions by governments and regimes overseas per-
taining to terrorists who have harmed American citi-
zens, such as naming of schools, streets, or other pub-
lic institutions or sites after such terrorists. In such 
instances, the Office shall encourage other United 
States Government agencies to halt their provision of 
assistance, directly or indirectly, to those institutions. 
(7) In cases where terrorists who have harmed 
Americans overseas, and are subsequently released 
from incarceration abroad, are eligible for further 
prosecution in the United States, the Office shall co-
ordinate with other government agencies to seek the 
transfer of those terrorists to the United States for 
further prosecution. 
SEC. 504. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—There are authorized to be appro-
priated for fiscal year 2003 and subsequent fiscal years such 
sums as may be necessary to carry out this title.
