     DESIGNATE CAUCASUS EMIRATE AS A FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ALCEE L. HASTINGS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 29, 2010

  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to introduce a 
resolution urging the Secretary of State to formally designate the 
Caucasus Emirate as a foreign terrorist organization. The Caucasus 
Emirate seeks to establish a Taliban style Islamic state on the 
sovereign territory of the Russian Federation, Georgia, Armenia, and 
Azerbaijan and has declared jihad against the United States, Russia, 
Great Britain, and any other state fighting international terrorism. 
Let us stand together with Russia and take serious measures to disrupt 
and destroy this dangerous organization. I urge my colleagues to 
support this measure.
