                 TITLE I--STRENGTHENING LAW ENFORCEMENT

     SEC. 101. BULK CASH SMUGGLING INTO OR OUT OF THE UNITED 
                   STATES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Effective enforcement of the currency reporting 
     requirements of subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31, 
     United States Code, and the regulations prescribed under such 
     subchapter, has forced drug dealers and other criminals 
     engaged in cash-based businesses to avoid using traditional 
     financial institutions.
       (2) In their effort to avoid using traditional financial 
     institutions, drug dealers and other criminals are forced to 
     move large quantities of currency in bulk form to and through 
     the airports, border crossings, and other ports of entry 
     where the currency can be smuggled out of the United States 
     and placed in a foreign financial institution or sold on the 
     black market.
       (3) The transportation and smuggling of cash in bulk form 
     may now be the most common form of money laundering, and the 
     movement of large sums of cash is one of the most reliable 
     warning signs of drug trafficking, terrorism, money 
     laundering, racketeering, tax evasion and similar crimes.
       (4) The intentional transportation into or out of the 
     United States of large amounts of currency or monetary 
     instruments, in a manner designed to circumvent the mandatory 
     reporting provisions of subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 
     31, United States Code,, is the equivalent of, and creates 
     the same harm as, the smuggling of goods.
       (5) The arrest and prosecution of bulk cash smugglers are 
     important parts of law enforcement's effort to stop the 
     laundering of criminal proceeds, but the couriers who attempt 
     to smuggle the cash out of the United States are typically 
     low-level employees of large criminal organizations, and thus 
     are easily replaced. Accordingly, only the confiscation of 
     the smuggled bulk cash can effectively break the cycle of 
     criminal activity of which the laundering of the bulk cash is 
     a critical part.
       (6) The current penalties for violations of the currency 
     reporting requirements are insufficient to provide a 
     deterrent to the laundering of criminal proceeds. In 
     particular, in cases where the only criminal violation under 
     current law is a reporting offense, the law does not 
     adequately provide for the confiscation of smuggled currency. 
     In contrast, if the smuggling of bulk cash were itself an 
     offense, the cash could be confiscated as the corpus delicti 
     of the smuggling offense.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are--
       (1) to make the act of smuggling bulk cash itself a 
     criminal offense;
       (2) to authorize forfeiture of any cash or instruments of 
     the smuggling offense;
       (3) to emphasize the seriousness of the act of bulk cash 
     smuggling; and
       (4) to prescribe guidelines for determining the amount of 
     property subject to such forfeiture in various situations.
       (c) Enactment of Bulk Cash Smuggling Offense.--Subchapter 
     II of chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code, is amended 
     by adding at the end the following:

     ``Sec. 5331. Bulk cash smuggling into or out of the United 
       States

       ``(a) Criminal Offense.--

     conveyance, article of luggage, merchandise, or other 
     container, and transports or transfers or attempts to 
     transport or transfer such currency or monetary instruments 
     from a place within the United States to a place outside of 
     the United States, or from a place outside the United States

     traceable to such property, subject to subsection (d) of 
     this section.

     property under this section shall be governed by section 413

[[Page H6925]]

       ``(4) Personal money judgment.--If the property subject to 
     forfeiture under paragraph (2) is unavailable, and the 
     defendant has insufficient substitute property that may be 
     forfeited pursuant to section 413(p) of the Controlled 
     Substances Act, the court shall enter a personal money 
     judgment against the defendant for the amount that would be 
     subject to forfeiture.
       ``(c) Civil Forfeiture.--
       ``(1) In general.--Any property involved in a violation of 
     subsection (a), or a conspiracy to commit such violation, and 
     any property traceable to such violation or conspiracy, may 
     be seized and, subject to subsection (d) of this section, 
     forfeited to the United States.
       ``(2) Procedure.--The seizure and forfeiture shall be 
     governed by the procedures governing civil forfeitures in 
     money laundering cases pursuant to section 981(a)(1)(A) of 
     title 18, United States Code.
       ``(3) Treatment of certain property as involved in the 
     offense.--For purposes of this subsection and subsection (b), 
     any currency or other monetary instrument that is concealed 
     or intended to be concealed in violation of subsection (a) or 
     a conspiracy to commit such violation, any article, 
     container, or conveyance used, or intended to be used, to 
     conceal or transport the currency or other monetary 
     instrument, and any other property used, or intended to be 
     used, to facilitate the offense, shall be considered property 
     involved in the offense.''.

     subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code, 
     is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 
     5330, the following new item:

     financial crime prevention and detection information among 
     and between Federal law enforcement agencies, including an

     between which or among which data cannot be shared for 
     whatever reason.
       (3) Private banking.--Private banking activities in the 
     United States, including information on the following:
       (A) The nature and extent of private banking activities in 
     the United States.
       (B) Regulatory efforts to monitor private banking

     Insurance Act with respect to private banking activity.

     SEC. 203. REPORTS TO THE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY ON 
                   SUSPICIOUS FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES.

       At least once each calendar quarter, the Secretary of the 
     Treasury shall--
       (1) publish a report containing a detailed analysis 
     identifying patterns of suspicious activity and other 
     investigative insights derived from suspicious activity 
     reports and investigations conducted by Federal, State, and 
     local law enforcement agencies to the extent appropriate; and
       (2) distribute such report to financial institutions (as

     SEC. 204. EFFICIENT USE OF CURRENCY TRANSACTION REPORT 
                   SYSTEM.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Congress established the currency transaction 
     reporting requirements in 1970 because the Congress found 
     then that such reports have a high degree of usefulness in 
     criminal, tax, and regulatory investigations and proceedings 
     and the usefulness of such reports has only increased in the 
     years since the requirements were established.
       (2) In 1994, in response to reports and testimony that 
     excess amounts of currency transaction reports were 
     interfering with effective law enforcement, the Congress 
     reformed the currency transaction report exemption 
     requirements to provide--
       (A) mandatory exemptions for certain reports that had 
     little usefulness for law enforcement, such as cash transfers 
     between depository institutions and cash deposits from 
     government agencies; and
       (B) discretionary authority for the Secretary of the 
     Treasury to provide exemptions, subject to criteria and 
     guidelines established by the Secretary, for financial 
     institutions with regard to regular business customers that 
     maintain accounts at an institution into which frequent cash 
     deposits are made.
       (3) Today there is evidence that some financial 
     institutions are not utilizing the exemption system, or are 
     filing reports even if there is an exemption in effect, with 
     the result that the volume of currency transaction reports is 
     once again interfering with effective law enforcement.
       (b) Study and Report.--
       (1) Study required.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall 
     conduct a study of--
       (A) the possible expansion of the statutory exemption 
     system in effect under 5313 of title 31, United States Code; 
     and
       (B) methods for improving financial institution utilization 
     of the statutory exemption provisions as a way of reducing 
     the submission of currency transaction reports that have 
     little or no value for law enforcement purposes, including 
     improvements in the systems in effect at financial 
     institutions for regular review of the exemption procedures 
     used at the institution and the training of personnel in its 
     effective use.
       (2) Report required.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall 
     submit a report to the Congress before the end of the 90-day 
     period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act 
     containing the findings and conclusions of the Secretary with 
     regard to the study required under subsection (a) and such 
     recommendations for legislative or administrative action as 
     the Secretary determines to be appropriate.

                   ISSUES.

     and transactions involving terrorist groups and facilitating 
     the exchange of information concerning such accounts and

     enforcement organizations.
       ``(2) Applicability of other provisions.--Sections 552,

       ``(B) prohibit financial institutions and their employees 
     from informing customers of the existence of, or the means of 
     identifying, the concentration accounts of the institution; 
     and
       ``(C) require each financial institution to establish 
     written procedures governing the documentation of all 
     transactions involving a concentration account, which 
     procedures shall ensure that, any time a transaction 
     involving a concentration account commingles funds belonging 
     to 1 or more customers, the identity of, and specific amount 
     belonging to, each customer is documented.''.

                   MONEY LAUNDERING, FINANCIAL CRIMES, AND THE 
                   FINANCES OF TERRORIST GROUPS.

       (a) Negotiations.--
       (1) In general.--It is the sense of the Congress that, in 
     addition to the existing requirements of section 4702 of the 
     Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, the President should direct the 
     Secretary of State, the Attorney General, or the Secretary of 
     the Treasury, as appropriate and in consultation with the 
     Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, to seek to 
     enter into negotiations with the appropriate financial 
     supervisory agencies and other officials of any foreign 
     country the financial institutions of which do business with 
     United States financial institutions or which may be utilized 
     by any foreign terrorist organization (as designated under 
     section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act), any 
     person who is a member or representative of any such 
     organization, or any person engaged in money laundering or 
     financial or other crimes.
       (2) Purposes of negotiations.--It is the sense of the 
     Congress that, in carrying out any negotiations described in 
     paragraph (1), the President should direct the Secretary of 
     State, the Attorney General, or the Secretary of the 
     Treasury, as appropriate, to seek to enter into and further 
     cooperative efforts, voluntary information exchanges, the use 
     of letters rogatory, mutual legal assistance treaties, and 
     international agreements to--
       (A) ensure that foreign banks and other financial 
     institutions maintain adequate records of--
       (i) large United States currency transactions; and
       (ii) transaction and account information relating to any 
     foreign terrorist organization (as designated under section 
     219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act), any person who 
     is a member or representative of any such organization, or 
     any person engaged in money laundering or financial or other 
     crimes; and
       (B) establish a mechanism whereby such records may be made 
     available to United States law enforcement officials and 
     domestic financial institution supervisors, when appropriate.
       (b) Reports.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act and annually thereafter, the 
     Secretary of State, in conjunction with the Attorney General 
     and the Secretary of the Treasury, shall submit a report to 
     the Congress, on the progress in any negotiations described 
     in subsection (a).
       (2) Identification of certain countries.--In any report 
     submitted under paragraph (1), the Secretary of State shall 
     identify countries--
       (A) with respect to which the Secretary determines there is 
     evidence that the financial institutions in such countries 
     are being utilized by any foreign terrorist organization (as 
     designated under section 219 of the Immigration and 
     Nationality Act), any person who is a member or 
     representative of any such organization, or any person 
     engaged in money laundering or financial or other crimes; and
       (B) which have not reached agreement with United States 
     authorities to meet the objectives of subparagraphs (A) and 
     (B) of subsection (a)(2).
       (3) Report on penalties and sanctions.--If the President 
     determines that--
       (A) a foreign country is described in subparagraphs (A) and 
     (B) of paragraph (2); and
       (B) such country--
       (i) is not negotiating in good faith to reach an agreement 
     described in subsection (a)(2); or
       (ii) has not complied with, or a financial institution of 
     such country has not complied with, a request, made by an 
     official of the United States Government authorized to make 
     such request, for information regarding a foreign terrorist 
     organization (as designated under section 219 of the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act), a person who is a member or 
     representative of any such organization, or a person engaged 
     in money laundering for or with any such organization,

     and the President imposes any penalties or sanctions on such 
     country or financial institutions of such country on the 
     basis of such determination, the Secretary of State shall 
     submit a report to the Congress describing the facts and 
     circumstances of the case before the end of the 60-day period 
     beginning on the date such sanctions and penalties take 
     effect.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Shimkus). Pursuant to the rule, the 
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Oxley) and the gentleman from New York (Mr. 
LaFalce) each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Oxley).


                             General Leave

  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may 
have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks 
on H.R. 3004 and to include extraneous material on the bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Ohio?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 5 minutes.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 3004, the Financial Anti-
terrorism Act of 2001. The Committee on Financial Services 
overwhelmingly approved this bill last week in a near unanimous vote of 
62 to 1, signalling a strong consensus among Republicans and Democrats 
alike, administration officials, and the financial services industry, 
that the time for business as usual is far over.
  There is little dissent among us. Strong anti-money laundering 
measures are needed and needed now. We recognize that failure to move 
swiftly could leave an open door to future attacks against U.S. 
citizens and refuse to stand idly by. This bill and the strong 
bipartisan support it enjoys represents a resounding pledge of 
congressional support for the President in fulfilling his vow to starve 
terrorists of their funding.
  In the months since the devastating attacks of September 11, we have 
learned how easily the terrorists used American dollars and the world-
class services of the American financial system to underwrite their 
deadly operations.
  At our October 3 committee hearing, we heard testimony from Treasury 
undersecretary for enforcement, Jimmy Gurule, on how terrorist 
operatives from bin Laden's organization, al-Qaeda, utilized checks, 
credit cards, ATM cards, wire transfer systems and brokerage accounts 
throughout the world, including the U.S.
  He testified that al-Qaeda uses banks, legal businesses, front 
companies, and underground financial systems to finance the 
organization's activities, and that some elements of the organization 
rely on profits from the drug trade.
  He also pointed out how some Islamic charities have been penetrated 
and their fund-raising activities exploited by terrorists.
  Another witness, Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Justice 
Department's Criminal Division, Mary Lee Warren, warned that the United 
States is fighting with outdated weapons in the war against money 
laundering and flagged serious problems associated with international 
smuggling of bulk cash and wire transfers of funds that enable 
criminals in one country to conceal their funds in another.
  Chief of the Financial Crimes Section of the FBI's Criminal 
Investigations Division, Dennis Lormel, echoed that concern when he 
testified how terrorists and other criminal organizations rely heavily 
upon wire transfers. He flagged correspondent banking as another 
potential in the financial services sector that can offer terrorist 
organizations a gateway into U.S. banks.

  The private sector money laundering experts subsequently described in 
detail how underground black market banking operations, like the 
ancient South Asian Hawala money transfer system, are used by criminals 
to finance their operations.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud the efforts the administration has already 
taken to disrupt the financial infrastructure of international 
terrorist organizations. Those actions include the creation of a new 
foreign terrorist asset tracking center, the issuing of a strong 
executive order to block the financial assets of terrorists and their 
supporters, the passage by the United Nations of a U.S.-drafted 
resolution calling on all governments to freeze terrorist assets, and 
the immediate widespread mobilization of the U.S. financial services 
industry to assist in ferreting out the money trail of these 
terrorists.
  To supplement these early initiatives, H.R. 3004 gives the 
administration new and improved tools to fight the financial war 
against terrorism. Here is how.
  First, the bill significantly strengthens the hand of law enforcement 
by enhancing bulk cash smuggling laws, making it easier to prosecute 
illegal money service businesses, making the provision of material 
support to terrorists a predicate offense for money laundering, barring 
the entry of aliens suspected of money laundering, and strengthening 
procedures for obtaining foreign bank records relevant to terrorism or 
money laundering.

[[Page H6937]]

  Second, the bill enhances private-public cooperation between Federal 
agencies and the financial services industry. The bill requires the 
creation of a private-public task force on terrorist financing, as well 
as the establishment of a secure website to accept reports from 
financial institutions about suspected terrorist activities, and to 
alert them to matters requiring immediate attention.
  The bill also seeks to reduce the number of bank-filed reports where 
they are unnecessary for law enforcement, and requires Treasury to 
report regularly to industry on the utility of the reports that are 
being filed.
  Third, in order to deal with international money laundering risks, 
including those associated with terrorism, the bill prohibits U.S. 
correspondent banking privileges for off-shore shell banks, and 
authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to take special measures if a 
foreign country, institution, or a particular type of transaction or 
account is deemed to be a primary money laundering concern.
  In closing, let me simply say that this package is balanced and 
comprehensive. It reflects input from Members on both sides of the 
aisle, as well as from the White House, the Treasury Department, and 
the Justice Department.
  I want to personally thank my good friend and ranking minority 
member, the gentleman from New York (Mr. LaFalce), for his tireless 
efforts on this bill. I know he has been a leader on this bill over a 
number of years, and it has finally come to fruition, thanks to his 
cooperative efforts.
  I urge my colleagues to give H.R. 3004 their full support and vote 
aye.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1030

  Mr. LaFALCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I might 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker, the Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 provides a new 
array of weapons in the fight to disrupt the funding of criminals and 
international terrorist organizations. Our strong legislation was 
adopted by our Committee on Financial Services by a 62 to 1 vote.
  The committee's product provides the President and the executive 
branch an array of new weapons to combat terrorist funding and money 
laundering. It largely reflects legislation that then chairman, the 
gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Leach), and I worked on together during the 
last Congress, along with Stu Eizenstat, the Deputy Secretary of the 
Treasury, and which also passed our committee on a broad bipartisan 
basis in 2000, again with only one dissenting vote, the same individual 
dissenting in 2000 who dissented in 2001.
  That legislation, like today's, was conceived in an effort to track 
and impede access to the funds on which criminals and terrorists rely 
to conduct their activity. Our medicine today is strong medicine, but 
it is fair medicine. It is balanced medicine, and the need for it is 
compelling. If we cannot take strong steps to impede the funding of 
terrorist activity in light of recent events, I do not know what 
incentive it would take.
  Our antiterrorism package on which the House acted on Friday was a 
good package, and I strongly supported, but it was incomplete. It was 
incomplete because it did not contain today's vital provisions. It is 
imperative that today's bill be enacted as part of a comprehensive 
antiterrorism package to give the President the full range of tools he 
needs.
  The legislation that the chairman, the gentleman from (Mr. Oxley), 
and the vice chairwoman, the gentlewoman from New Jersey (Mrs. 
Roukema), and I and so many others worked on is a balanced consensus 
product. It was developed through extensive bipartisan consultation 
with members of the committee, with members of other committees, with 
the administration, with the financial services industry, et cetera.
  Reasonable accommodations were made by all sides to garner 
overwhelming bipartisan support that was achieved at last Thursday's 
committee markup and as recently as late last night. We will not win 
the fight against terrorism unless we cut off the funding of al-Qaeda 
and each and every other terrorist organization that exists in the 
world and we can do it.
  The Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 provides weapons that are 
absolutely essential for our long-term war against terrorism. Failure 
to enact this legislation is not an option for either the House or the 
Senate or for America.
  Let me say that I regret that, while the committee also included 
provisions last week with respect to illegal Internet gambling, they 
were dropped from this bill, but I understand that because that was 
problematic. It was filled with contentious issues that had not been 
adequately aired. It is not contained in the Senate bill. The 
administration opposed the language that the committee reported out on 
Internet gambling last week. I regret that but we still reported it 
out, and I look forward at the earliest possible moment of bringing 
that legislation to the floor of the House of Representatives 
separately and advancing it.
  In the meantime, this administration has present laws on the books, 
and this Justice Department can interpret those laws on the books and 
enforce them both criminally and civilly very aggressively, and so I 
call on Attorney General John Ashcroft to pursue illegal Internet 
gambling much more aggressively in the future, not only to cut it off 
because of its troublesome impacts societally, but because according to 
the testimony of the FBI, it too is being used to launder clean money 
for dirty purposes and dirty money for transparent cosmetic purposes.
  So pass today's bill and let us have the administration aggressively 
pursue existing law on Internet gambling and let the full House take up 
the Internet gambling provisions in the future in as expeditious a 
manner as possible.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from New Jersey (Mrs. Roukema), the vice-chairman of the 
committee.
  Mrs. ROUKEMA. Mr. Speaker, I thank the Chair, and I want to associate 
myself with the statements of our chairman and our ranking member. They 
have properly outlined the benefits of this bill, and I also want to 
thank the chairman for his leadership in bringing this bill before the 
Congress.
  As many of my colleagues know, former Congressman McCollum and I had 
a bill 2 years ago that very closely tracked this bill, and it was a 
proposal put forth by Attorney General Ashcroft more recently. There 
are essential elements in this bill that have been outlined here. They 
were able to be included. The due diligence for correspondent accounts, 
private banking accounts, requirements for financial institutions have 
anti-money laundering programs about the authorization of Treasury 
regulations governing the so-called concentration accounts.
  These are essential provisions that I fully expect will be maintained 
in the Congress. Certainly we must do everything we can to assure that.
  I would like to also say thanks to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. 
Oxley), and the bill that was passed in Committee on Financial 
Services, that there were provisions to make it a crime to smuggle more 
than 10,000 in currency in and out of the United States. Unfortunately, 
these provisions were among those that were removed from the bill, and 
in fact, in my opinion it was unwise and injudicious, if my colleagues 
get it, get the reference, because it was not our committee that 
removed them.
  The point is finally, and I do not have too much time, the point is 
that this is important legislation. It would make a mockery of the 
anti-terrorist bill if we do not have, as I think the gentleman from 
New York (Mr. LaFalce) alluded to, if we do not have strong money 
laundering legislation as a component of it. It would make a mockery of 
it and cripple law enforcement while protecting the terrorist money 
network.
  I urge all of our colleagues, it may not be perfect, but it is 
essential legislation that we must support; and it is a significant 
step down the right track to cripple the terrorist network.
  Mr. LaFALCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
New York (Mrs. Maloney), who has so personally experienced the 
terrorist attack and who also has been a multi-year advocate of the 
strongest possible money laundering legislation.
  Mrs. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of 
the

[[Page H6938]]

bipartisan anti-money laundering legislation produced by the Committee 
on Financial Services.
  As we move to pass comprehensive antiterror legislation, this work 
product, which was approved 62 to one, must be included in any 
legislation that the President signs. Since September 11, our Nation 
has dedicated its resources to fighting terrorism on all front. The 
brave men and women of our military are targeting the terrorists 
overseas. Our security agencies are working around the clock to seek 
out domestic threats, and our law enforcement apparatus is on the trail 
of the perpetrators in working to prevent future attacks.
  This antimoney laundering legislation provides critically needed 
tools to help law enforcement in these efforts. Like any business, 
money is as important as oxygen to terrorists. This legislation aims to 
cut off their oxygen. And like any business, Terrorism, Inc., is out of 
business when they are out of money.
  In the past, money laundering has been associated with drug cartels 
and criminal organizations that attempt to wash money that is the 
product of illegal enterprises. In fighting terrorism, we face a new 
challenge. In addition to stopping money that comes from illegal 
sources, we must stop money that comes from front charities, overseas 
businesses, and underground financial systems such as hawala. This bill 
targets all of these.
  The sources of terror money are wide spread. The New York Times 
recently reported that al-Qaeda has gone so far as to use profits from 
Mid-East honey trading to fund terror. While it will never be possible 
to plan for every inevitability, this legislation greatly increases our 
ability to detect suspicious flows of money, no matter what their 
source. The legislation gives Treasury the authority to impose 
additional due diligence requirements on U.S. institutions when they 
conduct business with individuals or banks in weak money laundering 
enforcement countries.
  In the past, terrorists such as Osama bin Laden have used accounts in 
the Sudan or other countries to set up correspondent accounts with U.S. 
banks and wire money to individuals in the United States. This 
provision directly targets such relationships.
  The bill also criminalizes the concealments of $10,000 or more in 
currency to avoid reporting requirements. All the provisions of H.R. 
3004 greatly increase cooperation between the private sector, the 
financial services regulators, and law enforcement. Communication and 
cooperation among these divergent interests is key to coordinating 
resources and cutting off terror money.
  Global money laundering is an immense problem. The IMF has 
conservatively estimated that between $600 billion and $1.5 trillion is 
laundered annually worldwide. Working with our allies, the President 
has frozen terrorists assets around the world. This legislation gives 
our government additional tools to fight old and new laundering 
schemes.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud our Chair, our ranking member for their 
consistent and outstanding leadership in passing this bill and the 
gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Leach), the former chairman.
  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Iowa 
(Mr. Leach).
  Mr. LEACH. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me time.
  Mr. Speaker, I would first say with regard to the words that have 
been brought to us today that this is an important provision in law to 
bring a money laundering statute into being. Following the money is the 
most effective way of tracking criminal activity of a given nature. It 
also serves as a deterrent to crime.
  When we first looked at this in the last several years, the main 
emphasis has been on narco-trafficking; but clearly with regard to 
terrorism, it is an important ingredient. But it is with some 
disappointment that I must say that I am amazed and startled to learn 
that the provision of the bill that relates to Internet gambling has 
been removed by leadership. And I would only as strongly as I can say 
that I consider this to be an affront to the committee. I also consider 
it to be an assault on basic judgment. I would hope that there would be 
a greater courage and greater will in this body on this issue of 
Internet gambling.
  We are at one of the last moments if there is any hope whatsoever of 
trying to put a curb on something that is very destructive to the 
economy and very difficult for individual human beings. And a footnote 
to the Internet gambling issue is that gambling is one of the great 
techniques of laundering money. We have to put a footprint down now to 
stop this form of money laundering and stop the kinds of things that 
affect so many American individuals. A million Americans a day are now 
gambling on the Internet with over 600 casino sites with nobody having 
any idea what these casinos do with the credit card numbers that one 
gives to these illegal offshore entities.
  This Congress has to show a little more backbone when a few interest 
groups stand up and say they object, when a few ideologues stand up and 
say they have concerns. The judgment is one that I think has got to be 
based on compassion and decency, and I hope we can do better.
  Mr. LaFALCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman 
from New York (Mr. Israel).
  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me the 
time.
  Mr. Speaker, we know that this bill is not the silver bullet in our 
war against terrorism, but it is a vital tool for our law enforcement 
community. I want to thank the chairman and the ranking member for 
getting this good strong bill to the floor with such dispatch.
  Mr. Speaker, September 11 we have learned a great deal about Osama 
bin Laden and the al-Qaeda terrorist network. We know that in addition 
to a complex global financial network, there are many, many sources of 
funds and a personal fortune of $300 million that Osama bin Laden has. 
Alarmingly, evidence suggests that organizations in the United States 
and abroad have cloaked themselves as charitable organizations to help 
funnel those funds to al-Qaeda.
  The President has already frozen the assets of the Wafa Humanitarian 
Organization, the Al Rashid Trust, the Makhtab al-Khidamat, and most 
recently, the Society of Islamic Cooperation.
  These were groups that were supposedly charitable organizations, but 
were mere conduits for raising money for the treacherous acts of 
September 11.
  In committee, Mr. Speaker, I introduced an amendment that the 
chairman and the gentleman from New York (Mr. LaFalce) were gracious 
enough to accept. It is an important measure. It simply tells the 
Treasury Department to scrutinize how terrorists use charitable non-
profits and other groups to fund these activities.

                              {time}  1045

  If we are going to win the war on terrorism, we must fight it on 
every front. This is an important bill in that battle.
  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from New 
York (Mrs. Kelly), the chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and 
Investigations.
  Mrs. KELLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this act. 
This legislation takes substantive steps to combat how terrorists and 
drug traffickers move their money. One issue that has been given little 
attention in our war against terrorism is that the chief export of the 
Taliban is illegal drugs. Hence, efforts on both fronts have been 
essential in crafting this legislation.
  One of my deepest concerns in our effort to dry up the funding 
sources for terrorist activities is how we can combat hawalas. This is 
an international underground economic system by which financial 
operators in different locations honor each other's financial 
obligations by making payments in a way which avoids taxes and tariffs. 
There is no movement of money between countries; hence no taxes and 
tariffs are paid. At best, there are very small traces of the 
transactions. This legislation takes the first important step to combat 
hawala by enforcing the law against unlicensed money transmitting 
businesses.
  While there have long been laws on the books to ensure that money-
transmitting businesses be licensed, these laws have been unenforceable 
due to court rulings which require knowledge

[[Page H6939]]

of the law and willful intent. In effect, the law is unenforceable. 
Section 103 of this legislation removes the standard and tightens up 
the law to ensure that law enforcement has the tools to go after the 
threat.
  This legislation takes important steps to ensure that more financial 
institutions have in place antimoney laundering programs. But this is 
not a one-size-fits-all mandate; and size, location, and activities of 
a business are taken into account. This will ensure everyone, from the 
very large financial institutions, with billions in transactions every 
day, to small stores that offer wire transfers, has in place internal 
policies and procedures and controls to minimize their susceptibility 
to inadvertently assisting criminals.
  We know the terrorists of September 11 were savvy and familiar with 
the law. We know that the terrorists used money orders and had bank 
accounts. We know the terrorists were careful not to do anything that 
would have attracted attention to themselves before they carried out 
their plans of terror, murder, and destruction. We must take steps to 
ensure that if future manipulations take place, law enforcement will be 
notified in time to prevent acts of cowardice.
  The Financial Anti-terrorism Act takes these steps. I urge support of 
the bill.
  Mr. LaFALCE. Mr. Speaker, how much time do I have remaining?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Shimkus). The gentleman from New York 
(Mr. LaFalce) has 10\1/2\ minutes remaining, and the gentleman from 
Ohio (Mr. Oxley) has 9 minutes remaining.
  Mr. LaFALCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Lee).
  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the ranking member for yielding 
me this time, and I also want to thank our chairman and ranking member 
for bringing this bipartisan bill to the floor in such an expedited 
fashion. This important legislation will help crack down on terrorists 
using our financial services and having access to funds through money 
laundering.
  While I am strongly supportive of this bill, I had intended to offer 
a very simple amendment that I hope can be included in conference which 
would require the Departments of Justice and Treasury to report to 
Congress on how the terrorists in the September 11 attacks acquired and 
used credit and debt cards.
  We still do not know how the terrorists accessed the credit cards 
they used to rent cars, purchase airline tickets, and take other 
actions that facilitated the terrorist attacks. Did they steal other 
people's identity? Did financial institutions have the tools that they 
needed to do thorough checks before giving out these cards? We just do 
not know.
  I would like to mention a quote from today's New York Post with 
reference to this issue. According to the New York Post, in an article 
today, and I quote, ``The most recent charge on one of the cards came 2 
weeks ago, a full 3 weeks after the terrorist strike, a law enforcement 
official told the Post.''
  We must take every step possible to shut down access to capital to 
the terrorists. Finding out how they got credit and debt cards is one 
of the important steps in this process. So I would like to thank my 
colleagues, our ranking member, the gentleman from New York (Mr. 
LaFalce), and our chairman for this bill; and I ask them and suggest to 
them to include this provision in the conference committee.
  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Wisconsin (Mr. Green).
  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for 
yielding me this time and rise in support of the Financial Anti-
terrorism Act. I appreciate how quickly and how wisely the chairman, 
the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Oxley), and the ranking member, the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. LaFalce), moved on this subject.
  Mr. Speaker, in this new war we fight new and unpredictable enemies, 
and we fight against weapons that are unconventional and at least 
initially unexpected. Our enemies seek to turn our own systems, 
financial and transportation, against us. But today we fight back.
  Today, we approve new weapons for this new war. We authorize new 
broader searches of international mail; we make a new Federal crime of 
falsifying a customer's ID in a transaction with a financial 
institution. This bill directs the Secretary of the Treasury to set up 
a new secure Web site dedicated to the filing of suspicious activity 
reports by financial institutions and providing those institutions with 
alerts.
  Last week on the antiterrorism bill and this week on the financial 
antiterrorism bill some have questioned why we moved so quickly. But we 
have men and women in harm's way overseas; we have them in harm's way 
abroad. Let us act boldly, let us act creatively, and let us act today. 
Please support this bill.
  Mr. LaFALCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Bentsen).
  (Mr. BENTSEN asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. BENTSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 
3004, the Financial Anti-terrorism Act of 2001. As original cosponsor 
of this legislation, I want to commend the chairman and the ranking 
member, as well as the former chairman, the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. 
Leach), for the work that they have done on this bill.
  This is not the first time that this legislation has come to light. 
In fact, last year the former House Committee on Banking passed this 
legislation overwhelmingly. And while we were unable to get it through 
the House and through the other body last year, and while our 
motivation last year was probably less focused on terrorism as it was 
on public corruption and other forms and drug-running corruption and 
other forms of money laundering, the body of the legislation is 
encompassed in this bill; and I am glad to see it is finally seeing the 
light of day.
  This bill will give our Federal financial agencies and law 
enforcement agencies the tools necessary to combat money laundering. 
And while, as one of our colleagues said, this is not a silver bullet, 
this will help choke off the resources that terrorist organizations and 
other corrupt organizations need in order to operate. We learned in 
this country in the last century, in efforts to combat organized crime, 
that if we could cut off the flow of money, we could start to cut off 
the flow of activity. And the same would be true here.
  This legislation gives the Treasury Department very important 
authority to ensure that financial institutions abroad, which might be 
working with money laundering organizations, including terrorist 
organizations, will not have access to the U.S. financial payment 
systems if they do not comply with appropriate internationally 
recognized banking standards that deal with money laundering. And it is 
terribly important that it is in this bill.
  Now, we, over the year, have taken great effort with the 
administration to include appropriate due process so that everyone gets 
a fair shake under this bill, but this is an important bill in the way 
it is structured.
  I would also like to point out two things. The bill is going to 
require bringing new requirements on a number of U.S. financial 
institutions, and that is unfortunately a price that we have to pay. I 
hope that the regulators look closely at this and do not create too 
much burden, but we have to enforce this bill.
  I am pleased that the committee included an amendment of mine that 
would not sanction U.S. financial institutions for overreporting. On 
the one hand, we want them to report; but we should not sanction them 
for overreporting. We ought to work with those institutions.
  In addition, I appreciate the work of the committee in including a 
provision that would allow the U.S. Justice Department to help enforce 
foreign judgments against U.S. entities which have had these judgments 
brought against them overseas to ensure that such judgments of law do 
not conflict with U.S. law and, thus, we protect the rights of U.S. 
citizens. So I appreciate the chairman and the ranking member for the 
work they did on that.
  This is a critical piece of legislation. I am glad to see it has been 
brought up. I commend the chairman and the ranking member and the 
gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Leach), who brought this up last year; and I 
hope the House will pass it unanimously.

[[Page H6940]]

  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New 
York (Mr. Grucci).
  Mr. GRUCCI. Mr. Speaker, I thank the distinguished chairman for 
yielding me this time, and I rise today in support of a critical piece 
of legislation which seeks to attack the core foundation of terrorist 
organizations.
  The Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 provides law enforcement and 
financial oversight officials with critical tools necessary to 
dismantle the fund-raising abilities of terrorist networks. It is my 
understanding that terrorists used small amounts of cash and remained 
well below the checkpoints currently in place to catch financial 
criminals.
  The Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 will enhance the ability of 
law enforcement agencies to identify and detect terrorist-related 
transactions and attack the financial infrastructure of these 
organizations.
  It will also enhance cooperation between the Government and private 
institutions and their abilities to detect and disrupt terrorist 
funding as well as prevent terrorists from accessing the U.S. financial 
system through foreign countries and institutions.
  President Bush stated this will be a war like no other, where we will 
fight our enemy both on the field of battle and in the halls of our 
financial institutions. This legislation strikes at the ability of 
terrorist networks to launder their money and strengthen their ability 
of our law enforcement agencies, and I urge my colleagues to support 
H.R. 3004, the Financial Anti-terrorism Act of 2001.
  Mr. LaFALCE. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Weldon).
  Mr. WELDON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for 
yielding me this time. I will be voting for H.R. 3004 and support most 
of its provisions, but I have some reservations about some features of 
the bill.
  Section 301 is designed to give the Treasury Secretary new powers to 
identify and punish governments that fail to control money laundering. 
However, some of the provisions in this section are controversial, 
particularly the criteria that the Treasury Secretary is supposed to 
use when determining whether a jurisdiction is a money laundering 
concern.
  A jurisdiction should be punished if it refuses to suspend bank 
secrecy when presented evidence of a serious crime like terrorism. But 
the mere existence of privacy should not be a cause for concern. The 
appropriate criteria should be evidence of money laundering, 
particularly if conducted with the government's complicity. It would be 
wrong to characterize a nation as harboring money laundering activities 
simply because they offer lower taxes than European or U.S. and other 
nations.
  Lower taxes are often designed to foster economic growth of a nation 
that is engaging in the lower-tax policy. It should not be interpreted 
as evidence of money laundering.
  Mr. Speaker, I believe that bill falls short in providing the 
assurances needed to ensure that a country is not placed on a blacklist 
simply because they have relatively lower taxes.
  I believe strongly that a jurisdiction should be punished if it 
refuses to suspend bank secrecy when presented with evidence of a 
serious crime like terrorism, murder, or drug smuggling, but the mere 
existence of financial privacy should not be a cause for concern. Also, 
the presence of a vibrant financial services sector is an odd criterion 
to be used as evidence of money laundering. Using this criteria, New 
York City and London would likely be classified as money laundering 
centers.
  The appropriate criterion should be evidence of money laundering, 
particularly if conducted with a government's complicity. It would be 
wrong to characterize a nation has harboring money laundering 
activities simply because they offer lower taxes than European nations 
or the U.S. Lower taxes are designed to foster economic growth and some 
nation's believe that economic growth is an important policy objective. 
They should not be punished for making that decision.
  We should use our resources effectively. This means targeting and 
punishing the jurisdictions that harbor and protect terrorists and 
other criminals.
  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Virginia (Mr. Wolf).
  Mr. LaFALCE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Virginia (Mr. Wolf) because of an anticipatory association on my part 
with the remarks of the gentleman from Virginia.
  Mr. WOLF. I do not know that I have 4 minutes to speak, but I thank 
the gentleman.
  I am very disappointed that the language of the gentleman from Iowa 
(Mr. Leach) and the gentleman from New York (Mr. LaFalce) with regard 
to money laundering and gambling has been taken out.
  Gambling is beginning to destroy families and fundamentally corrupt 
this country. It is bringing about greater divorce and breakup of 
families; and now we see the influence of it coming into this Chamber, 
whereby here was an opportunity to deal with money laundering and to do 
it in a way that would be a positive thing; yet it was removed.
  I want to thank the chairman, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Oxley), 
because I know he supports this language. And I want to thank the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. LaFalce) and the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. 
Leach). If this Congress adjourns without dealing with the issue of 
money laundering with regard to gambling, it will be an indictment of 
this institution.

                              {time}  1100

  Mr. Speaker, this, on my side, is the reason that I signed the 
discharge petition with regard to campaign finance reform because we 
cannot have the spread of gambling continue in this Nation and not deal 
with it every chance we have.
  I thank the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Oxley) and the gentleman from 
New York (Mr. LaFalce). We ought not to lose this opportunity. Maybe 
for good reasons the gentlemen had to move ahead with this bill and 
abandon this opportunity to deal with what is taking place in this 
country; but we cannot let anti-gambling legislation languish.
  Mr. Speaker, we need to continue to push to pass legislation to help 
families.
  Mr. LaFALCE. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. WOLF. I yield to the gentleman from New York.
  Mr. LaFALCE. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Virginia knows that I 
have been advocating greater regulation for gambling, even before he 
began in 1994; but the administration was not supportive of the 
provisions that we passed. I want to come to the floor separately as 
soon as possible. I know that is the desire of the gentleman from Ohio 
(Mr. Oxley) and the desire of the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Leach). We 
will do it, and we will do it together with the gentleman from 
Virginia.
  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I want to make sure what I say does not 
reflect on the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Oxley), and I appreciate the 
efforts of the gentleman.
  The reason I feel so strongly is that gambling is running rampant in 
the country. The addiction level, particularly among the young is 
skyrocketing, and for those of us on both sides of the aisle who care 
about the young, this will enable somebody to sit in their bathrobe at 
home and gamble, and literally take their family down the road to 
bankruptcy. This legislation is important, and I appreciate the 
gentleman's efforts. I look forward to an opportunity to pass such 
legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, I include for the Record two articles regarding Internet 
gambling.

                [From the New York Times, June 5, 2001]

                    Nevada Approves Online Gambling

                           (By Matt Richtel)

       The Nevada Legislature voted yesterday to authorize 
     regulators to license casinos to offer gambling over the 
     Internet, the first time a state has moved to legalize the 
     potentially lucrative but highly controversial business of 
     online gambling.
       The Legislature passed the bill on the last day of its 
     every-two-year session, despite objections by some state 
     senators who said it would permit only big, politically 
     powerful casino corporations to participate. A spokesman for 
     Gov. Kenny Guinn said he supported the idea of Internet 
     gambling but would not make a decision about signing the bill 
     until he had read it in its final form.
       Even if he does approve, it is far from clear when Las 
     Vegas's most powerful casinos will be able to offer gambling 
     over the Internet, or to whom they will be able to offer it. 
     Federal law enforcement officials say operation of an 
     Internet casino is illegal under the

[[Page H6941]]

     Wire Act, but legal experts say it is not clear whether the 
     courts concur with that interpretation, and, as a result, 
     whether casinos will need to seek a change in federal law.
       The casinos must satisfy regulators that they have 
     technology to prevent bets from being placed by minors or by 
     anyone living in a jurisdiction where gambling is illegal, 
     which currently includes most states.
       If the Nevada Gaming Commission finds those criteria are 
     met, it would have the power to ``adopt regulations governing 
     the licensing and operation of interactive gaming.'' Industry 
     observers said that while the bill authorized regulators to 
     license casinos, it did not legalize gambling immediately. It 
     would, however, effectively legalize it in the future--a 
     major victory for casinos that advocate online gaming.
       ``This is a very big step,'' said Anthony Cabot, a gambling 
     law expert and partner in the law firm of Lionel, Sawyer & 
     Collins, which represents some of Nevada's largest casinos. 
     ``There is no doubt that interactive gambling will be 
     authorized.''
       If and when they are able to participate, Nevada's casinos 
     will enter an already booming market. According to Bear 
     Stearns, Internet users worldwide wagered $1.4 billion online 
     last year on casino games, lotteries, horse races and other 
     sports events--a figure that the investment banking firm 
     expects to grow to $5 billion by 2003.
       Some Nevada legislators say only the largest casinos will 
     be able to benefit, however. The bill is written to ensure 
     that the only casinos eligible to get a license are those 
     with an established--and resort-size--physical presence in 
     the state. To get a license, applicants must pay $500,000 for 
     the first two years, and $250,000 a year thereafter.
       ``That would have been like saying five years ago, `only 
     bricks-and-mortar bookstores can sell books over the 
     Internet,' '' said Senator Terry Care, who was on the losing 
     side of yesterday's 17-to-4 vote in the Senate. ``What would 
     that have meant for Amazon?''
       Mr. Care had hoped to offer an amendment to open the 
     prospect of online gambling to any entity in the state with 
     an unrestricted gambling license. but his was one of several 
     amendments that was never introduced because of a 
     parliamentary maneuver.
       In recent weeks, a similar bill was tabled after it became 
     clear that amendments would be offered by several 
     legislators, including Senator Joe Neal, a longtime 
     antagonist of the gambling industry who hoped to amend the 
     bill to increase the gambling tax from 6.25 percent.
       To get around the tax question--and the high-profile debate 
     about taxes that it would have entailed--proponents of 
     Internet gambling tacked the legislation as a rider onto a 
     peripheral bill about the work card system for casino 
     employees, said Senator Dina Titus, a Democrat from Las 
     Vegas.
       Ms. Titus, who voted against the bill, said she objected to 
     the political maneuvering but she said she supported the idea 
     of Internet gambling. She said the rationale behind 
     permitting only large casinos to participate was the belief 
     that they might be best able to ``operate at this level'' and 
     would have the ``capability and money to back up'' the 
     regulations.
       Las Vegas's casinos are not united in their desire to move 
     onto the Internet. Until recently, in fact, many of them 
     advocated keeping online gambling illegal as a way of trying 
     to kill competition from overseas. Several of the biggest 
     casinos have, however, advocated legalizing Internet 
     gambling, with the companies' executives asserting that since 
     there is no way to stop people from gambling on the Internet, 
     American companies should be allowed to compete.

                    Bryan Wary of Internet Gambling


the senator predicts las vegas companies will launch online casinos if 
                          laws are not passed

                (By Tony Batt) Donrey Washington Bureau

       Washington.--Unless Congress acts this year to prohibit 
     Internet gambling, Sen. Richard Bryan says mainstream casinos 
     inevitably will expand into the World Wide Web, a prediction 
     roundly rebutted by a gaming lobbyist.
       ``Right now, the industry has been supportive, by and 
     large, of an Internet gambling ban,'' said Bryan, D-Nev. 
     ``But every indication is that in another year, segments of 
     the industry will break ranks and jump into this market with 
     both feet. I think that would be terrible public policy.''
       Bryan cited recent comments by Brian Sandoval, the chairman 
     of the Nevada Gaming Commission, that it may be only a matter 
     of time before the state Legislature is asked to authorize 
     Internet gambling.
       ``One analogy is the number of operators who were staunchly 
     opposed to Indian gaming, and now many of those same casinos 
     are in business with the tribes,'' Bryan said.
       The industry's top lobbyist in Washington insisted that 
     casinos are not preparing forays into the Internet market.
       ``Even if our companies wanted to do business on the 
     Internet, they couldn't do it without the approval of the 
     gaming control boards in the states where they are 
     licensed,'' said Frank Fahrenkopf, president of the American 
     Gaming Association.
       ``I haven't seen any sign that the gaming control boards in 
     Nevada, New Jersey and Mississippi are ready for that,'' he 
     said.
       But if Internet gambling is authorized in those states, 
     Bryan said, the gaming control boards will not be able to 
     stop casinos from expanding into the Web.
       Bryan was the leading Democratic co-sponsor of an Internet 
     gambling ban proposed by Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., that cleared 
     the Senate in November by voice vote.
       But to become law, the ban must be passed by the House, and 
     prospects there appear uncertain. One reason: a turf battle 
     between two powerful committee chairmen.
       On April 6, the House Judiciary Committee voted 21-8 in 
     favor of an Internet gambling ban by Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-
     Va.
       The vote appeared to pave the way for a vote by the full 
     House. But the vote has been delayed because the chairman of 
     the House Commerce Committee, Rep. Tom Bliley Jr., R-Va., has 
     asked House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., to give his panel 
     jurisdiction over the bill.
       Ironically, Bliley is friends with Goodlatte, and the 
     lawmakers play tennis together.
       ``We are optimistic that the Judiciary Committee has 
     complete jurisdiction, and the bill will be going to the 
     House floor soon,'' said Goodlatte spokeswoman Michelle 
     Semones. She said she had no idea when Hastert would make a 
     decision on Bliley's request.
       The Commerce Committee is seeking oversight because it 
     claims the bill would impose a mandate on Internet service 
     providers to help enforce the gambling ban.
       The judiciary panel argues it should have sole jurisdiction 
     because the bill includes criminal penalties--up to $20,000 
     in fines and four years in prison for companies offering 
     gambling on the Internet.
       Bliley has clashed with Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry 
     Hyde, R-Ill., over a number of jurisdictional issues 
     regarding the Internet.
       This is not the first turf fight over the Internet gambling 
     ban. The bill made it through the judiciary panel only after 
     it was amended to allow American Indian casinos to operate 
     reservation-to-reservation Internet gambling networks. The 
     change was made to accommodate Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, 
     chairman of the House Resources Committee.
       Even if the Commerce Committee is granted jurisdiction, 
     gaming lobbyists are confident the Internet gambling ban will 
     become law this year.
       ``I think the prospects of the bill getting to the (House) 
     floor in the next few weeks are very good, and my expectation 
     is that it will pass by a huge margin,'' said Wayne Mehl, who 
     lobbies Congress for the Nevada Resort Association.
       If the House passes the ban, members of both chambers will 
     meet in conference to hammer out differences in the House and 
     Senate versions.
       ``There is not that much difference between the two bills, 
     and I don't think the conference will take much time at 
     all,'' Mehl said.
       The version that comes out of the conference then must be 
     voted on by the House and Senate before being sent to 
     President Clinton.
       The president hasn't said whether he would approve or veto 
     an Internet gambling ban. The Clinton administration voiced 
     concern about the House bill in March, when Deputy Assistant 
     Attorney General Kevin DiGregory said Congress should update 
     federal statutes to ban Internet gambling instead of creating 
     a new law.
       White House spokeswoman Elizabeth Newman said the president 
     hopes his concerns about the legislation can be addressed 
     before he is asked to sign an Internet gambling ban.
       ``I'll be surprised if this bill does not get to Clinton's 
     desk before the August recess,'' Mehl said. ``The big battle 
     has been fought and the outcome has been decided. They're 
     just nibbling around the edges right now.''
       But Bryan remains concerned.
       ``The holdup in the House does not necessarily mean the 
     death knell for this legislation,'' he said. ``But in terms 
     of legislative days, we are down to less than 40 days (for 
     this year).''

  Mrs. CHRISTENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 3004, the 
Financial Anti-Terrorism Act and applaud its sponsors for their work on 
this comprehensive bipartisan legislation, which seeks to declare 
financial war on terrorists.
  I am pleased as well, that the bill does not include language banning 
Internet gambling because of the impact that such a ban will have on my 
district, which is exploring Internet gaming as a means of stimulating 
our stagnant local economy. While I have my own personal reservations 
about gambling generally, I must accede to the wishes of my 
constituents and local legislature, which earlier this year passed 
legislation to make Internet gaming legal in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
  My colleagues, one of the disturbing trends in our present economy 
has been that when the mainland was experiencing boom times, the 
economies of the offshore areas of our country--the Virgin Islands, 
Guam, American Samoa and Puerto Rico--did not share in this boom. 
Additionally, with the events of September 11 dramatically contributing 
to the then downturn in our national economy, the tourism dependent 
economy of the Virgin Islands has been decimated. It is because of this 
that the Government of the Virgin Islands has looked at Internet 
gambling as a means of stimulating our local economy.
  Mr. BEREUTER. Mr. Speaker, this Member rises today to express his 
support for H.R.

[[Page H6942]]

3004, the Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001, which is being 
considered under suspension of the House rules. As a result of the 
terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, H.R. 3004, of which this 
Member is an original cosponsor, is necessary to detect and eliminate 
terrorist funding by giving the Federal authorities the enhanced tools 
to address financial crimes.
  First, this Member would like to thank the distinguished Chairman of 
the House Financial Services Committee from Ohio (Mr. Oxley) and the 
distinguished Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee 
from New York (Mr. LaFalce) for their role in bringing this legislation 
to the House Floor today.
  The September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and 
the Pentagon illustrate the extensive financial infrastructure which 
can be associated with terrorism. As both the Vice Chairman of the 
House Intelligence Committee and as House Intelligence Subcommittee 
Chair of Intelligence Policy and National Security, this Member has 
been actively studying the details surrounding the tragic events of 
September 11th.
  Therefore, this member would like to focus on the following three 
provisions of the Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001: (1) 
codification of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) 
within the Department of the Treasury; (2) enhancement of law 
enforcement's ability to address informal banking systems used by 
terrorists such as the South Asian ``hawala'' system; and (3) making 
bulk cash smuggling into or out of the United States a Federal crime.
  First, this legislation codifies FinCEN's status as a Department of 
Treasury bureau with a separate authorization and statutorily assigns 
the FinCEN with duties consistent with those assigned currently by 
order of the Treasury, such as the administration of the Bank Secrecy 
Act. The FinCEN was created in 1990 by an order of the Secretary of the 
Treasury to be the government's primary financial intelligence unit. In 
addition, the FinCEN has been very successful in collecting and 
analyzing data related to large currency transactions and other 
suspicious financial activity. Moreover, this legislation also requires 
the FinCEN to provide computer support to the Office of Foreign Asset 
Control which is also within the Department of Treasury. This FinCEN 
support will avoid unnecessary computer data base duplication.
  Second, this legislation enhances the ability of law enforcement to 
address informal banking systems such as hawalas. Many terrorism 
experts believe that a share of terrorist financing is conducted 
through an ancient South Asian money exchange system called 
``hawalas.'' Hawala is an underground network of financiers who acquire 
funds in one country and subsequently have a partner in a different 
country pay a certain amount per recipient. In this case, no 
transaction records are kept with no funds crossing any borders. This 
legislation mandates the creation of a unit within FinCEN specifically 
tasked with addressing informal nonbank networks such as hawalas. 
Furthermore, this legislation also requires a report to Congress from 
the Secretary of the Treasury on these informal banking systems.
  Lastly, this legislation, among many other things, makes it a Federal 
crime for anyone to knowingly smuggle more than $10,000 in currency or 
other monetary instrument across the United States border. The measure 
provides a punishment of up to five years in prison and confiscation of 
the smuggled money. Under current law, the only requirement is that 
such currency be declared to customs inspectors upon entering the 
United States. This Members believes that the criminalization of bulk 
cash smuggling is necessary to help eliminate terrorist funding within 
the borders of the United States.
  Therefore, this Member urges his colleagues to support H.R. 3004, the 
Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001.
  Ms. WATERS. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased that we are passing H.R. 3004, 
the Financial Anti-Terrorism Act today. It is crucial that we take 
steps to ensure that terrorist funding is cut off at its source. I have 
been working on money laundering issues for years, and I believe that 
the time for action is long overdue.
  I am pleased that this bill addresses may concerns I have been 
raising about money laundering for years.
  This legislation authorizes Treasury to take special measures against 
foreign countries or financial institutions deemed to be primary money 
laundering concerns. This provision is similar to one I have advocated 
in the past. I am also pleased that other measures I have sponsored 
over the years, particularly heightened due diligence for private 
banking, and correspondent accounts, are included in this bill. 
Additional scrutiny will be required for these accounts, which have 
``flown below radar'' for many years.
  In an October 28, 1999 letter, Citibank's Private Bank division 
defined private banks as banks ``which provide specialized and 
sophisticated investment and other services to wealthy individuals and 
families.'' The letter went on to say that private banks ``are 
inevitably exposed to the risk that an unscrupulous client will attempt 
to `launder' proceeds of illegal activities through the bank.'' This is 
stating the situation mildly.
  A 1998 GAO report on Private Banking detailed how known drug 
trafficker and international criminal Raul Salinas was able to transfer 
between $90 million to $100 million of proceeds through Citibank's 
private banking system. In November of 1999, the Senate's Committee on 
Governmental Affairs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) 
presented revealing accounts of how Raul Salinas, and several other 
private banking customers, were able to launder funds through 
Citibank's private banking system. According to the Subcommittee's 
minority staff report, a key problem area within the private banking 
system is the use of concentration accounts.
  Currently, concentration accounts are bank accounts maintained by 
financial institutions in which funds from various bank branches and 
bank customers are commingled into one single account. Banks have used 
concentration accounts as a convenient, internal, banking-transfer 
mechanism. However, by combining funds from various sources into one 
account, and then wire transferring those funds into separate accounts, 
the true ownership and identity of the funds are temporarily lost, and 
more importantly, the paper trail is effectively ended.
  Law enforcement officials have stated that one of the biggest 
problems they encounter in money laundering investigations, 
particularly where there is an international flow of funds, is the 
inability of investigators to reconstruct an audit trail for 
prosecution purposes. This legislation will authorize the Secretary of 
the Treasury to issue regulations to ensure that concentration accounts 
no longer shield the identity of individual customers. These new 
regulations will prohibit banks from telling their customers about 
concentration accounts. It will also prohibit banks from allowing their 
customers to direct that their money be moved through concentration 
accounts. And it will establish procedures to document the identity of 
and the amount of funds attributed to each customer whose money is 
moved through these accounts. I look forward to working with Treasury 
on these issues and seeing strong regulations implemented as soon as 
possible.
  I am particularly pleased that this legislation also includes and 
amendment I offered during markup which will ensure that an 
institution's record on money laundering issues is taken into account 
when the institution is attempting to merge with or acquire another 
institution. I have been told that the regulators can currently 
consider this factor, but my amendment makes it clear that they must 
consider an institution's record when considering an application from 
them.
  I would like to thank my colleagues, Chairman Oxley and Ranking 
Member LaFalce for working so quickly to bring this legislation to 
markup, and for including many strong provisions that I have championed 
for years.
  Mr. FORD. Mr. Speaker, the September 11 attacks were the evil work of 
a well-financed global network of terror. It has been reported that the 
19 terrorists, while living in America, received at least $500,000 from 
Al Qaeda sources overseas. Their coordinated attack could not have been 
planned or perpetrated without access to sources of substantial 
funding.
  The cowards of September 11 proved that our enemies do not need 
armies or tanks or missiles to wage war on the United States. But these 
terrorists did need money.
  By starving the Al Qaeda terrorist network and all terrorists of 
their funding, we can strip them of an essential tool in waging terror. 
By following the money, we can more effectively track terrorist 
activity and prevent terrorist attacks before they occur.
  No anti-terrorism package will be complete without strong financial 
anti-terrorism provisions. To fight global terrorism effectively, we 
have to crack down on illegal money laundering and on underground 
financial activity. To fight terrorism, we have to crack the financial 
networks of terrorists.
  Last Thursday, thanks in no small part to the hard work and exemplary 
cooperation between Chairman Oxley and Ranking Member LaFalce, the 
Financial Services Committee reported out bipartisan financial anti-
terrorism legislation by a 62-1 margin.
  The Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 takes critical steps to give 
Treasury and other law enforcement agencies the tools they need to 
attack the financial infrastructure of terrorists. The bill encourages 
cooperation between Federal agencies and the financial services 
industry. Such cooperation between government and the private sector 
will be critical in our efforts ahead.
  The bill also helps prevent international money laundering by 
preventing banks from engaging with overseas shell banks. It gives the 
Treasury the authority to take special measures against countries, 
institutions, or transactions that are of ``primary money laundering 
concern.'' We cannot allow terrorists to

[[Page H6943]]

use offshore money laundromats to evade the international network of 
transparent commerce.
  Financial anti-terrorism legislation is an essential, indispensable 
piece of our overall anti-terrorism efforts. In the words of Secretary 
O'Neill, we must ensure that the terrorists' moral bankruptcy must be 
matched by an empty wallet.
  Mr. Speaker, I strongly support the passage of this bill. Financial 
anti-terrorism legislation, including strong money laundering 
provisions, must be included in any ultimate anti-terrorism package 
passed by this Congress.
  Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, the so-called Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 
2001 (H.R. 3004) has more to do with the ongoing war against financial 
privacy than with the war against international terrorism. Of course, 
the Federal government should take all necessary and constitutional 
actions to enhance the ability of law enforcement to locate and seize 
funds flowing to known terrorists and their front groups. For example, 
America should consider signing more mutual legal assistance treaties 
with its allies so we can more easily locate the assets of terrorists 
and other criminals.
  Unfortunately, instead of focusing on reasonable measures aimed at 
enhancing the ability to reach assets used to support terrorism, H.R. 
3004 is a laundry list of dangerous, unconstitutional power grabs. Many 
of these proposals have already been rejected by the American people 
when presented as necessary to ``fight the war on drugs'' or 
``crackdown on white-collar crime.'' For example, this bill facilitates 
efforts to bully low tax jurisdictions into raising taxes to levels 
approved by the tax-loving, global bureaucrats of the Organization for 
Economic Cooperation and Development!
  Among the most obnoxious provisions of this bill: codifying the 
unconstitutional authority of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network 
(FinCeN) to snoop into the private financial dealings of American 
citizens; and expanding the ``suspicious activity reports'' mandate to 
broker-dealers, even though history has shown that these reports fail 
to significantly aid apprehending criminals. These measures will 
actually distract from the battle against terrorism by encouraging law 
enforcement authorities to waste time snooping through the financial 
records of innocent Americans who simply happen to demonstrate an 
``unusual'' pattern in their financial dealings.
  in conclusion, Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to reject this 
package of unconstitutional expansions of the financial police state, 
most of which will prove ultimately ineffective in the war against 
terrorism. Instead, I hope Congress will work to fashion a measure 
aimed at giving the government a greater ability to locate and seize 
the assets of terrorists while respecting the constitutional rights of 
American citizens.
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, the bill before us today, H.R. 
3004, the ``Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001'' will continue the 
work that we undertook last week in the Judiciary Committee addressing 
the growing threats of terrorism on U.S. soil.
  In an historic effort of bi-partisanship, my Judiciary Committee 
colleagues and I passed our anti-terrorism bill by a 36-0 vote. 
Similarly, the bill before us today passed the House Financial Services 
Committee on a bi-partisan vote of 62-1. These numbers demonstrate to 
America and to the world the unanimity of our resolve to rid society of 
terror, and reiterate the overwhelming timeliness for such legislation.
  The problems of money laundering have always been great, but these 
problems are exacerbated where international terrorist networks fund 
their evil enterprises by masking the origin and purpose of the money. 
It has been suggested that the terrorist hijackers behind the September 
11 attacks had a deep knowledge of the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, record 
keeping duties of financial institutions, and that at least one of the 
leaders conducted transactions that evinced a deep understanding of 
obscure and complex U.S. banking regulations. This knowledge is likely 
to have helped expedite these horrific acts, which clearly transcend 
traditional notions of money laundering.
  Make no mistake about it: this is big business. It has been estimated 
that money laundering accounts for between $600 billion and $1.5 
trillion a year. Given the fact that the recent attacks on the World 
Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the crash in Somerset County 
Pennsylvania have been estimated to have cost only about $.5 million, a 
relatively insignificant amount given the direct and collateral damage 
caused by the attacks, it is clear that our current money laundering 
laws are insufficient to deal with the current threats raised by our 
new war on terrorism.
  With that in mind I believe that we should thank Senate Majority 
Leader Tom Daschle for insisting that money laundering language be 
included in the final anti-terrorism package, and we should also thank 
the staffs of the Financial Services and Judiciary Committees who 
worked late into the evening last night in search of an agreement that 
would bring this important legislation to the floor.
  H.R. 3004 moves us in the right direction in fighting this new 
battle. It includes specific provisions to detect terrorist funding by 
increasing safeguards at banks, borders, and businesses, and gives 
authorities the tools that they need to effectively combat financial 
terrorism and related crimes. It provides for increased investigatory 
abilities to infiltrate terrorist cells and infrastructure, 
irrespective of whether such cells utilize normal financial 
institutions such as banks, or whether they use more clandestine 
underground ``hawala'' financial systems.
  The bill establishes a partnership between private industry and 
government in order to decimate terrorist funding, and to this end, it 
provides additional tracking authority and increased cooperation 
between U.S. and foreign national to monitor terrorist funds kept in 
offshore accounts.
  The bill also limits the potential for mistakes in targeting 
terrorists by directing the Treasury Secretary to develop regulations 
that require financial institutions to verify the identify of customers 
before opening accounts.
  The bill also expands jurisdiction of the Customs Service in order to 
search, without a warrant, outbound U.S. mail for bulk cash or other 
contraband, and criminalizes smuggle currency in excess of $10,000, and 
stiffens penalties for knowing falsification of transactional 
information in financial institutions.
  Finally, additional provisions prohibit the use of credit cards, wire 
transfers or checks from U.S. banks to pay for illegal gambling on the 
Internet where so much money laundering currently takes place. In all, 
this bill gives law enforcement the tools needed to fight this new and 
formidable enemy of terrorism.
  The need for this legislation is great. Let us pass it today and send 
a powerful signal to the world that terrorism, in any form, will not be 
tolerated in our free society. I urge my colleagues to support it.
  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, could I inquire whether the gentleman from 
New York has further speakers?
  Mr. LaFALCE. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Shimkus). The question is on the motion 
offered by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Oxley) that the House suspend 
the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 3004, as amended.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds of 
those present have voted in the affirmative.
  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 412,
