Anti-Arafat Bills in Congress

A bill will be debated today in the US House of Representatives that will severely restrict American relations with the Palestinian Authority and Yasser Arafat.

The bill, proposed by Reps. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Gary Ackerman (D-NY), Ben Gilman (R-NY) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ), defines Arafat as responsible for the terrorism against Israel, and stipulates that his personal possession in the U.S., as well as those of the PLO/Palestinian Authority, be frozen.

The bill demands a reduction in the number of PA representatives in the US, the denial of visas and other travel restrictions on PA and PLO officials, and the downgrading of the status of PA and PLO offices in the U.S. A similar bill has been proposed in the Senate, but has not yet come up for a vote.
