                   STATE DEPARTMENT TERRORIST AWARDS

                                 ______


                        HON. GERALD B.H. SOLOMON

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 7, 1994

  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, the State Department has just produced a 
new advertisement for the new program of offering up to $2 million for 
information leading to the arrest of suspected terrorists.
  I am proud to have successfully authored the legislation that brings 
this program to fruition, and I am proud that the State Department can 
now offer this top reward of $2 million for information on terrorist 
incidents committed against U.S. interests, regardless of where in the 
world that they are committed.
  Let us hope that this new campaign will assist in bringing the 
barbarians who committed the World Trade Center bombing and other such 
heinous acts to justice.
  Mr. Speaker, I am inserting into the Record the following text of the 
new ad:

         We Won't Stop Until Those Responsible Are Behind Bars

       The terrorists who bombed the World Trade Center murdered 
     six innocent people, injured over 1,000 others, and left 
     terrified school children trapped for hours in an elevator. 
     Some prime suspects have been tracked down and arrested but 
     indicted terrorists Ramzi Ahmed Yousef and Abdul Rahman Yasin 
     remain at large. As long as they are free, more innocent 
     lives could be at risk.
       The U.S. State Department is offering rewards of up to $2 
     million for information leading to their arrest.
       Help us find the missing terrorists, before they find more 
     innocent victims. If you have any information, please contact 
     the police, the FBI, or call us at 1-800-HEROES-1. Overseas, 
     contact the authorities or the nearest U.S. embassy. Or 
     write: Heroes, P.O. Box 96781, Washington, DC 20090-6781, 
     U.S.A.
