Serial No. 109-4: Urging the EU to Add Hezbollah to its Wide-Ranging List of Terrorist Organizations; and Expressing Condolences and Sympathy to the People of the Kingdom of Spain for the March 11, 2004 Terrorist Attacks in Madrid: Markup before the Subcommittee on Europe and Emerging Threats of the Committee on the International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Ninth Congress, First Session on H. Res. 101 and H. Res. 99, March 8, 2005
United States. Government Printing Office
From the opening statement of Elton Gallegly: "Today, the Subcommittee on Europe and Emerging Threats is marking up two resolutions. The first item on the agenda is H. Res. 101, a resolution which urges the European Union to add Hezbollah to its terrorist list. […] Hezbollah has been known or suspected to have been involved in numerous terrorist attacks against Americans, including the suicide truck bombing of the United States Embassy and Marine Barracks in Beirut in 1983 and the Embassy annex in Beirut in 1984. Three members of Hezbollah are on the FBI's list of the 22 most wanted persons for the hijacking of a TWA flight in which an American Navy diver was killed. Elements of the terrorist organization have also been involved in the kidnapping of Americans and other Westerners. […] I would like express my strong support for H.Res. 99 and thank Mr. McCotter for introducing this legislation and his work on this issue. This resolution sends an important message of to the Spanish people that members of Congress and the American people have not forgotten the tragic terrorist attack of March 11, 2004. This attack, which was the work of an al Qaeda affiliated terrorist group, was the most deadly terrorist attack ever on Spanish soil and the worst terrorist attack in Europe since the bombing of Pan Am 103 in 1988." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Elton Gallegly, Robert Wexler, and Darrell Issa.
