OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN HUGHES

 

Mr. Hughes. The Subcommittee on Intellectual Property and

Judicial Administration will come to order. Good morning, and welcome to the hearing of the subcommittee on H.R. 2222, the

Antiterrorism Act of 1991.

 

H.R. 2222 provides a new civil legal cause of action for international terrorism by providing for extraterritorial jurisdiction over terrorist acts against U.S. nationals. It, therefore, parallels criminal legislation which we enacted in 1986, which I might say moved out of this committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee. That law, the so-called "long arm" statute, provides extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction for acts of international terrorism against U.S. nationals.

 

The provisions of H.R. 2222 have already passed the House as

part of H.R. 3371, the 1991 crime bill. However, the conference report on that bill has been lingering in the Senate for almost a year and its fate is relatively uncertain.

 

I have, therefore, scheduled this hearing and markup on H.R.

2222 as a freestanding bill because of its importance and bipartisan support.

 

Bipartisan support?

 

In 2017, what the trolls, amateur terrorists, and tweekers want to hear is, “Hey! Shut up or I’ll fuck you up!!”

 

“The right and honorable gentleman from Newbury Park has the motel balcony.”

 

“Hey! Hey you! I’m talking to you, you big fat Russian piece of shit! What the fuck are you doing here? Selling dope?”
