eous violence, an ideology of ter
rorism.”
Commending Denton’s stance
in the Congress for the past several
years against terrorism, Sens. Frank
Lautenberg (D.-N.J.) and Charles
Grassley (R.-Iowa) testified legal
means are available to bring about
grand jury proceedings. Lautenberg
and Grassley led a bipartisan bloc
of 44 senators in urging the Justice
Department’s indictment of Ara
fat. Describing as “inexcusable”
the Department’s “admitted fail
ure to make an exhaustive search
for evidence of Arafat’s compli
city,” Lautenberg pointed out that
“it is critical” that the decision
against prosecution “not set a pre
cedent” for “turning our backs on
the prosecution of terrorists.”
Lautenberg said the PLO has
had an information office in Wash
ington since 1978 but while it is
registered under the Foreign
Agents Act, “it has failed to regis
ter” under the Voorhis Act which
required a “detailed statement of
the assets of each branch, chapter
and affiliate of the organization,”
and “a description of all firearms
or other weapons owned by the
organization” or its affiliates.
Grassley said, “We have ample
legal authority to overcome the
contention” of statutory limita
tions argued by the Department
and “we can jump over the ex post
facto hurdle.” Calling on the State
Department to “reverse its policy
and to not allow the PLO in the
United States if it is effectively to
combat terrorism,” Grassley testi
fied “the battle is not a PLO-lsrael
battle but a PLO-USA battle.”
Mary Mochary, the State De
partment’s legal advisor who co
operated with the Justice Depart
ment in the Arafat case, testified:
“We need some more laws, but we
should not deceive ourselves that
more laws will protect us from ter
rorism. We are dependent on the
cooperation of other countries and
revision of extradition treaties.”
Under Denton’s questioning,
Mochary said that in 1985 the U.S.
granted visas to 14 PLO observers
to its U.N. mission in New York
and 59 single entry waivers for
other PLO members to enter the
U.S. In addition, eight additional
waivers were granted for “human
itarian purposes.” She said the
exceptions given to the PLO were
allowed by Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance in 1979 under the
Camp David Treaty. Waivers are
“strictly considered,” she said.
When the PLO’s U.N. representa
tive Zhudi Terzi was denied a visa
to speak at Howard University in
Washington, Howard sued the U.S.
and won, Mochary said. The case
is now under appeal.
Richard testified under Denton’s
questioning that since 1940 “only
five organizations” have registered
under the Voorhis Act. The Pales
tine Information Office, he said,
focuses on activities in the U.S. as
opposed to activities abroad and it
“would not have the obligation to
register under Voorhis.”
Members of a leading Washing
ton law firm - Harris, Weinstein —
Irving Nathan and Clifford Zatz,
suggested federal statutes, includ
ing the federal Racketeer Influence
and Corrupt Organizations(RlCO),
that might allow an indict
ment related to the Noel and Moore
murders.
John Norton Moore, law pro
fessor at the University of Virginia
and chairman of the StandingCom-
mittee on Law and National Secur
ity of the American Bar Associa
tion, offered “a partial list of pos
sible legal initiatives” for the
Arafat case. He suggested a steer
ing committee of national and in
ternational lawyers to develop
legal initiatives that could “add
futher effectiveness to the war
against terrorism.”
Moore referred to a 1972 draft
treaty against terrorism following
the M unich massacre of Israeli ath
letes by the PLO that “was not
pushed.” Noting that Arafat had
said in his Cairo declaration that
the PLO would not use terror
except against Israel and territo
ries under its control, Moore sug
gested a testing by giving the PLO
and the Arab states the option of
signing an anti-terrorism treaty.
