Congress finds that--
(1) the safety and security of passengers of United States air carriers
against terrorist threats should be given the highest priority by the
United States Government;
(2) the report of the President's Commission on Aviation Security and
Terrorism, dated May 15, 1990, found that current aviation security systems
are inadequate to provide such protection;
(3) the United States Government should immediately take steps to ensure
fuller compliance with existing laws and regulations relating to aviation
security;
(4) the United States Government should work through the International
Civil Aviation Organization and directly with foreign governments to
enhance aviation security of foreign carriers and at foreign airports;
(5) the United States Government should ensure that enhanced security
measures are fully implemented by both United States and foreign air
carriers;
(6) all nations belonging to the Summit Seven should promptly amend the
Bonn Declaration to extend sanctions for all terrorist acts, including
attacks against airports and air carrier ticket offices;
(7) the United States Government, in bilateral negotiations with foreign
governments, should emphasize upgrading international aviation security
objectives;
(8) the United States Government should have in place a mechanism by which
the Government notifies the public, on a case-by-case basis and through
the application of a uniform national standard, of certain credible threats
to civil aviation security;
(9) the United States Government has a special obligation to United States
victims of acts of terrorism directed against this Nation and should
provide prompt assistance to the families of such victims and assure that
fair and prompt compensation is provided to such victims and their families;
(10) the United States should work with other nations to treat as
outlaws state sponsors of terrorism, isolating such sponsors politically,
economically, and militarily;
(11) the United States must develop a clear understanding that
state-sponsored terrorism threatens United States values and interests, and
that active measures are needed to counter more effectively the terrorist
threat; and
(12) the United States must have the national will to take every feasible
action to prevent, counter, and respond to terrorist activities.
