THE GROWTH OF NARCO-
TERRORISM
a previous order of the House, the gen-
tleman from New York [Mr. GILMAN]
is recognized for 60 minutes.
Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise
today to express my deep concern over
the ever increasing relationship be-
tween narcotics trafficking and inter-
national terrorism. This relationship
has grown so strong in recent years
that a new term-"narco-terrorism"-
has become all too common. The
"narco-terrorists" have become so
powerful in some nations that the
1984 report of the United Nations
International Narcotics Control Board
warned that "the very security of
some States is threatened." As a result
of the growing intensity of narcotics
control efforts by some nations there
has been a corresponding increase in
violence, subversion and corruption by
the "narco-terrorists" to impede these
efforts. It is clear that many terrorist
groups are both directly involved in
narcotics production and trafficking,
and indirectly involved through the fi-
nancing of terrorist activities from the
enormous profits derived from the il-
licit narcotics trade. As the use of vio-
lence against international narcotics
control efforts increases we must rec-
ognize the serious threat involved and
do everythix;g in our power to combat
it.
In the past few weeks we have wit-
nessed two deplorable examples of the
types of "narco-terrorism" to which I
have referred. On November 3, reports
surfaced of "The Day of the Dead
Massacre"-of the brutal murders of
22 Mexican police officers in Mexico's
southeastern swamplands at the hands
of a band of drug smugglers. The
Mexican policemen were murdered
after they were ambushed by the band
of smugglers, who were involved in
transferring about 6 tons of marijuana
from trucks to a launch on the Rio
Coachapa. After they were ambushed
they were taken to a nearby farm,
where they were tortured and then
murdered. I am certain that every
Member of this body joins me in ex-
pressing our deepest sympathies to the
families and friends of these brave
men and to the Government of
Mexico. It is heartening to learn from
recent reports that at least 16 arrests
have been made in this brutal case,
and that the commander of the Mexi-
can Federal Judicial Police, Florentino
Ventura, believes that the information
obtained from these suspects will lead
directly to the capture and conviction
of all those responsible. We stand
ready to provide whatever support and
assistance we can in that effort.

1616. This bill is commonly called the
Labor-Management Notification and
Consultation Act of 1985.
Now, during the debate, many Mem-
bers of - Congress, the proponents of
this bill, at least, claimed that this was
a narrowly gauged bill, that this is
simply a notification bill, that this bill
Is going to protect. jobs, that this bill,
they inferred and some may have said
that this bill would stop the loss of
jobs and possibly stop the closing of
plants.
I would like to take first, Mr. Speak-
er, the first part of the proponents' ar-
gument, that this is a narrowly gauged
bill, that this is a finely honed piece of
legislation, that this is just a simple
little peace of legislation. My experi-
ence in the legislative process going
over 7 years is that when anybody tells
you it is a simple bill, you had better
look out, because it has also been my
experience that some people bring a
simple bill to the floor of this House
and do not tell you. the whole story
that may be in the bill, so I would like
to very briefly start this evening by
pointing out and briefly going through
what this bill is.
This bill only pertains, supposedly,
to 50 or more employees that may be
laid off or that will be laid off in a
plant closing.
Now, the affected employees means
employees who have been employed
by an employer for more than 6
months. Why they picked 6 months, I
do not know. I guess it is to say if you
have been employed more than 6
months, you are a permanent employ-
ee. Frankly, I think if you are em-
ployed for a year so that you qualify
for some benefits and you qualify for
at least vacation makes you a perma-
nent employee. We will get into later
about how important and how onerous
just that little part of the bill is about
employees who have worked for more
than 6 months.
It also goes even further and says
that you have to comply with this bill
if you reduce the number, and I am
quoting: "if you have a reduction in
hours of work of more than 50 percent
during any 6-month period" which
means that if you have to make a busi-
ness decision and your plant is in trou-
ble and you are trying to save the jobs
of probably more than a majority of
the people working in the plant, if you
have to cut, for instance, the work-
week of some employees of all employ-
ees, especially if you have 50 or more
employees, then you have to comply
with this bill.
ees.
Now, who is going to determine what
unavoidable business circumstances
are? They wait until you go into a pu-
nitive process, punitive on the employ-
er, a punitive process to determine
whether you had to close that down
quickly because of unavoidable busi-
ness circumstances.
Now, we go on and get into the con-
sultation part of the bill. First, you are
notified with in 90 days that the plant
is closing and/or a major layoff of 50
or more employees. Not only do you
notify the employees or their repre-
sentatives, in case it may be a union
shop, you also must notify the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Service
that you are shutting the plant or
laying off employees. That immediate-
ly puts it in the realm of the Federal
Government and in that case the Fed-
eral Mediation and Conciliation Serv-
ice has the ability in this bill to extend
beyond the 90 days that you cannot
close your plant or lay off your em-
ployees any period of time it sees fit to
do so.
Now, it goes even further than that.
In section 5 of the bill it says that the
employer must provide the representa-
tive of the affected employees with
"such relevant information as is neces-
sary for the thorough evaluation of
the proposal to order a plant closing
or plant layoff."
Now, I do not know why they even
put in there this kind of language.
What they should have said is, "Mr.
Employer of the plant, you will open
your files and books to the employees
and the respresentatives and show ev-
erything that you have to show," be-
cause everything in a business decision
is used in that business decision, every-
thing that a plant has, whether it be
books, files, customer records, credit
notices, loans, notes, everything is
pulled in then in making a decision
such as this. If you do not do that,
then you are subject to "such protec-
tive orders as the Secretary of Labor
may issue."
Now, this also goes further to say
and gives authority to the Secretary of
Labor, as it says in subsection (2) of
section 7 that the Secretary of Labor
determines whether you have given
sufficient information to make these
decisions in order to negotiate-and
that is a big word, negotiate the clos-
ing of the plant or the laying off of
employees.
^ 2045
It gives the authority to the Secre-
tary of State to petition any district
ployer to consult "in good faith during
the period as extended," and (c) re-
quires that reinstatement of back pay
and related benefits. We are talking
about a plant that is in monetary dis-
tress enough to have to be closed or to
lay off employees, and then we re-
quire, well, not only can you not lay
off these employees, you cannot shut
down your plant, but you are going to
pay all back pay and benefits to those
employees, putting even more pressure
on the plant to be closed.
Now we go even further, not just to
the Secretary of State, but we also set
up class action suits in the bill, and it
says under section 7(b):
Any employer who orders a plant closing
or mass layoffs in violation of this Act or a
court order under subsection (a) shall be
liable to each employee who suffers an em-
ployment loss as a result of such closing or
layoff for reinstatement or damages, or
both.
Unbelievable.
Also, it says that employees or their
representatives may sue, either for
himself or for other persons, setting
up class actions suits. And damages
shall include back pay and related
benefits for each day that the employ-
er is in violation, incuding general and
punitive damages, or both. Punitive
damages, which goes right next to the
net worth of the owner of the plant,
and could be substantial. There is no
limit on the punitive damages. All it
says is that they can recover punitive
damages.
If that is not bad enough, as usually
happens in this Congress, we always
protect the lawyers. We go on to an-
other section,. section 3, and says that
while all this litigation is going on, if
this guy who is under monetary dis-
tress enough to be considering shut-
ting down a plant or laying off em-
ployees, loses this how-long-do-we-
know civil actions suit, and these suits
could go on for years, if it happens to
be in Houston, TX, it takes 5 to 8
years to settle many civil actions in
the overcrowded courts in that area.
But even at that, after all this, then,
as I call this bill a full employment for
attorneys, then we allow the court to
bring a judgment to pay any reasona-
ble attorneys' fees. They have to be
paid by the defendant, the owner of
the plant.
It just does not make sense. We have
more in the section entitled "Civil Ac-
tions Against Representatives of Em-
ployees." We also allow that any rep-
resentative who brings action to the

November 5, 1985
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE S14861
40 innocent civilians were held hostage
for several days, and 1, American
naval diver Robert?Stethem, was cruel-
ly beaten and murdered.
We must also not forget the six
other American hostages who still
remain in captivity in Lebanon. Some-
day they, too, must return home
safely to America.
Neither should we forget the terror-
ist seizure of the United States Embas-
sy in Iran which resulted in the deten-
tion of 52 hostages for 444 days. Two
days after President Reagan took the
oath of office, all were released. From
the day forward, the President has
held fast to his commitment to combat
terrorism, an insidious disease that
has plagued us for far too long.
Terrorism is a cancer. It is a cancer
eating away at world order and at
every legitimate process of laws estab-
lished to secure and maintain this
order. It is a cancer that is growing,
even in the face of stepped up security
measures .worldwide. , Terrorists seek-
ing to impose their political will over
others through threats, murder, and
destruction are as old as history, but
there comes a time in history when we
must say enough is enough. Terrorism
must be brought to heel, and this
must be done under the very process
of laws that it seeks to overthrow.
In the words of Secretary, of State
George Shultz, "international terror-
ism has rapidly become one of the gra-
vest challenges to American interests
around the world." Only recently have ,
we begun to tabulate acts of terrorism
worldwide, and the statistics are stag-
gering. Since 1968, U.S. personnel and
institutions have been the targets of
over 50 percent of all terrorist acts.
Within the last 12 years, there have
been over 6,000 terrorist incidents
worldwide, resulting in the deaths of
approximately 4,700 innocent people.
Last year alone. Americans suffered
more than 100 casualties. But we do
not suffer alone. By virtue of the free
and open nature of democratic soci-
eties, all Western democracies are vul-
nerable to terrorist attacks.
During 1984, according to the De-
partment of State, the total number of
terrorist incidents was up roughly 30
percent-a total of 650 compared to
500, the figure for 1983 and the aver-
age of the previous 5 years. Western
Europe had over 250 incidents, up one-
third; the Middle East had nearly 200
incidents, up two-thirds, and Latin
America had between 110 and 120 inci-
dents.
When I look at these statistics, I am
outraged. I try to imagine the warped
minds of those in the PLO who are
bent on using- murder and violence as
bargaining tools, but it is difficult. I
know who they are and where they
gain their assistance, but it is difficult
to find an effective solution against
their cruel and inhuman attacks on in-
nocent people.
To address the difficulty of develop-
ing an effective solution to terrorism,
Senators DIXON, DENTON, DECONCINI,
and I formed the Senate Anti-Terror-
ism Caucus in response to the growing
threat of terrorism, especially against
Americans abroad, and the growing
outrage against terrorism by the
American public. It is the hope of the
members of this caucus that the fruits
of our hearings will add to the work of
the standing committees handling
these issues, as well as the work of the
administration, in formulating an ef-
fective policy to counter terrorism.
The caucus convened its first hear-
ing on the 24th of October to investi-
gate the roots of Middle East terror-
ism and possible solutions. We heard
from Ambassador Robert Oakley, Di-
rector of the Office for Counterterror-
ism and Emergency Planning at the
State Department, regarding the
nature of the terrorist threat and the
groups involved in terrorist activities.
Groups involved in. terrorism include
Muslim fanatics, Syrian-backed Pales-
tinians, the PLO, and radicals in
Libya, each of which seek to disrupt
stability and create a forum of terror
to advance their respective causes.
But we must ask ourselves, what can
be done to stop their senseless killing?
What is being done to create an inter-
national forum? Is there international
cooperation to thwart terrorist expan-
sion? The answers to these questions
are mixed and varied. As Ambassador
Oakely affirmed, it is difficult to gain
international cooperation. For exam-
ple, during the Iranian crisis in 1983,
the United States tried to impose eco-
nomic sanctions against the Iranian
Government as pressure for the re-
lease of the American hostages, but
there was little or no international co-
operation. If we are to put an end to
terrorism, all' affected nations must be
uniformly resolved to take the neces-
sary action. There must be no weak
links in the international chain to bind
those people who either sanction or
carry out terrorist activities.
We also heard from Peter Hill, a
former hostage aboard TWA flight
847, who offered his personal experi-
ences during this hijacking and sug-
gested the placement of sky marshals
aboard international flights as a pre-
emptive solution. He suggested many
instances in which the hijackers of
that flight left themselves vulnerable
to attack. I do not believe this to be an
isolated case In which hijackers have
left themselves open and vulnerable.
We must, therefore, seriously consider
the viability of this initiative as a pre-
emptive solution to future acts of air
piracy.
We heard from Sue Franceschini,
the sister of Reverend Jenko, one of
the six American captives currently
being held in Beirut, on the need to
make the American people more aware
of the increasing threat of terrorism
and its effects on the victim's families.
As we all know, terrorism strikes not
only the immediate victim, but also
that victim's family and friends. An-
gered by the difficulty in obtaining
her brother's release, Ms. Franceschini
has contacted many State and local of-
ficials throughout the Union to gain
their increased attention to terrorism.
With the assistance of women like Ms.
Franceschini, our Nation will properly
place the issue of terrorism on the top
of our national agenda.
Finally, we heard from Yohan Alex-
ander, a noted scholar in the unchart-
ed academic field of international ter-
rorism, on the proliferation of terror-
ist activities in recent months, which
indicates a renewed effort of low-in-
tensity warfare against the United
States. Although we have been fortu-
nate that relatively few terrorist at-
tacks have occurred within the borders
of the United States, our citizens over-
seas are under constant threat.
It is absolutely critical that we, as
members of Congress, maintain a con-
tinued, constructive dialog on possible
solutions to terrorism to free the inno-
cent people of this world from sense=
less murder and destruction. Our
struggle to find ways to combat terror-
ism will continue, but, unfortunately,
terrorists will continue to prey upon
these innocent victims unless we find a
viable solution.
As I have stated, the President re-
cently showed us the solution to ter-
rorism and that is: to fight fire with
fire. The U.S. response to terrorism
has been on an ad hoc basis for far too
long and has involved a broad range of
tactics, from direct negotiations to
international. cooperation. But these
efforts are no longer effective against
the emergence of state-supported,
state-sponsored terrorism.
The Palestine Liberation Organiza-
tion, the organization behind the hi-
jacking of the ' Achille Lauro, is an
outlaw terrorist organization. They
are a people without a state, bound by
a cause they cannot win, and support-
ed by states to perpetuate the murder
and destruction that has plagued the
innocent for years.
The 1978 Arab summit in Baghdad,
Iraq, mandated that the major oil-ex-
porting Arab states were to give $300
million a year to the PLO for 10 years
between 1979 and 1989. This money is
channeled through the Palestine Na-
tional Fund to Yasser Arafat, the rec-
ognized spokesman for the PLO who
has final control over this money.
Contributing states and their appor-
tionments this year, in millions of dol-
lars, were: Saudi Arabia, $$5.7;
Kuwait, $47.1; Libya, $47.1; Iraq, $44.6
million; the United Arab Emirates,
$34.3; Algeria, $21.4; and Qatar, $19.8
million. These nations also provide
sanctuary, training, and logistics to
tens of thousands of PLO militants.
During the 1970's Yasser Arafat suc-
ceeded in gaining recognition as the
PLO's sole credible voice of the state-
less Palestinian people in many parts
of the world, but, in recent years, Ara-
fat's recognition has diminished. In
1982, he was driven from his military
stronghold in Lebanon. As a result,
the PLO has been' forced to disperse.

the kind of cooperative measures
which the Soviets have agreed to in

as very valuable principles for our ne-

would refuse to implement significant'

Mr. President, last summer Premier
Gorbachev proposed a 5-month mora-

cember 1985. Rather than dismiss Gor-
bachev's offer as the administration
did, It could have used the Soviet pro-
posal as a starting point for the re-
sumption of the CTB negotiations. We
could have insisted that the Soviets
begin to Implement some of the signif-
icant on-site Inspection procedures to
which they had previously agreed in
the CTB negotiations.
These are objectives that can be
achieved in Geneva. They are small
steps _ which can have significant
impact in creating the momentum re-
quired for the negotiation of a new
treaty. We must have the courage to
take these small steps..
