(4) why the President believes the prohibitions are necessary to deal with those circumstances. President of U.S. At least once during each succeeding 6-month period after transmitting a report pursuant to this subsection, the President shall report to the Congress with respect to the actions taken, since the last such report, pursuant to this section and with respect to any changes which have occurred concerning any information previously furnished pursuant to this subsection. (d) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this section, the term "United States" includes territories and possessions of the United States. SEC. 506. INTERNATIONAL ANTI-TERRORISM COMMITTEE. Establishment.

The purpose of the Committee should be to focus the attention and secure the cooperation of the governments and the public of the participating countries and of other countries on the problems and responses to international terrorism, by serving as a forum at both the political and law enforcement levels. SEC. 507. INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM CONTROL TREATY.

Parties to such a treaty should include, but not be limited to, those democratic nations who are most victimized by terrorism. SEC. 508. STATE TERRORISM. Arthur D. Nicholson, Jr.
