COMMUNICATION FROM THE CLERK OF THE HOUSE The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following com- munication from the clerk of the House of Representatives: WASHINGTON, DC, October 15, 1987. Hon. JIM. WRIGHT, Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. DEAR MR.

ANDERSON, Clerk, House of Representatives. APF ON H.R. 1777, FOREIGN RELA- TIONS AUTHORIZATION ACT, FISCAL YEARS 1988 AND 1989 Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I ask unani- mous consent to take from the Speak- er's table the bill (H.R. 1777) to au- thorize appropriations for fiscal years 1988 and 1989 for the Department of State, the U.S. Information Agency, the Voice of America, the Board for International Broadcasting, and for other purposes, with a Senate amend- ment thereto, disagree to the Senate amendment, and agree to the confer- ence asked by the Senate. The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Florida? There was no objection. MOTION TO INSTRUCT OFFERED BY MR. BURTON OF INDIANA Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I offer a motion to instruct. The SPEAKER. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. BURTON of Indiana moves that the managers on the part of the House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 1777) to authorize appropria- tions for fiscal years 1988 and 1989 for the Department of State, the United States In- formation Agency, the Board for Interna- tional Broadcasting, and for other purposes, be instructed to agree to the provisions con- tained in title XI of the Senate amendment (entitled "Anti-Terrorism Act of 1987"). The SPEAKER. The gentleman from Indiana [Mr. BURTON] is recog- nized for 1 hour. Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, for purposes of debate only, I yield 30 minutes to the gentleman from Florida [Mr. MICA]. Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, let me say that we have no objection to this. We would be happy to accept the instruc- tion. Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, since the motion has been ac- cepted, I will simply submit my formal statement. Mr. Speaker, my motion would instruct House conferees to agree to an amendment that has broad bipartisan support in both Houses of Congress and passed by voice vote in the Senate. Though I am confident that this provision would be retained in conference given its broad support, I believe that it is important that the whole House be on record in support of closing the official offices of the PLO in the United States. The PLO is the world's premier terrorist or- ganization. Its terror is not only directed against our ally, Israel, but directly against American citizens. In 1974 a TWA jet was exploded in midair by the PLO; 88 people were killed, including many Americans. In 1976, an aide to Senator Jacob Javits was murdered by an affiliate of the PLO. In 1985, Navy diver Robert Stethem was murdered in cold blood by the hijackers of a TWA plane. This terrorist act was carried out by Abu Abbas, who was just a few months ago promoted by the PLO to its executive committee. The State Department, recognizing the sup- port for the Kemp-Mica-Grassley bill, closed the Washington office of the PLO with consid- erable reluctance. But the PLO "mission" at the U.N. will remain open unless the Kemp- Mica-Grassley bill is signed into law. Some Members have claimed in a "Dear Colleague" that Kemp-Mica-Grassley is "dan- gerous to civil liberties in the United States and to the search for a just and lasting peace in the Middle East." I find it hard to understand how throwing a bone to the PLO helps bring peace to the Middle East. I too would object to the provision if it denied a single American his or her constitu- tional right to free speech-it does not. The bill prohibits paid agents of the PLO from op- erating an official office on U.S. soil. It does not prohibit an American of advocating, or even actively promoting, whatever cause they wish within U.S. law. Nor would this provision conflict with the U.N. Headquarters agreement, which specifi- cally states that [quote] "nothing in the agree- ment shall be construed as in anyway dimin- ishing, abridging, or weakening the right of the United States to safeguard its own security and completely to control the entrance of aliens." The bottom line is that the United States cannot talk tough about terrorism while con- tinuing to be a safe harbor for agents of PLO terrorism and legitimating the PLO presence in official bodies and capitols around the world Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/01/03: CIA-RDP89T00234R000300330015-3 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/01/03: CIA-RDP89T00234R000300330015-3 October 20, 1987 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HAE H 8789 cELLI that the House suspend the rules and agree to the concurrent resolu- tion, H.
