                        TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE

  Mr. ALLEN. In support of the Harkin-Allen amendment No. 3838, I do 
want to say that our friend and colleague from Iowa, Senator Harkin, 
and I, introduced the measure to allow victims of terrorist acts to 
seek judgments in our Federal courts with due process and, if accorded 
a judgment, be able to try to get that judgment satisfied from assets 
of those terrorist organizations or terrorist assets which have been 
seized or frozen by the Federal Government.
  This measure allows those people from all across the country, 
including Iowa, Virginia, and other States, to get satisfaction for 
compensatory damages that they have been awarded. I want to again thank 
our colleague from Iowa, Senator Harkin, for his great leadership and 
his great efforts in this regard.
  I yield the floor.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Wyoming.
