Terrorist Financing
As a member of the Financial Services Committee, I monitor the work of Treasury and the financial regulators to provide a coordinated framework for responding to threats to the financial system. I am a cofounder of the bipartisan Terrorist Financing Task Force which is studying further actions that can be taken to trace terrorist funds. I support strong action against those who finance terrorism, and have cosponsored several bills that crack down on countries or financial institutions that fail to adopt strong anti-terrorist financing procedures.
