| Abstract: |
The Subcommittee's investigation of the theories, directions, and support of terrorism documented linkages among international terrorist groups and extensive involvement by the Soviet Union and its allies in the network of terrorism. Areas examined included the Turkish experience with terrorism, the complicity of the Bulgarians and the Soviet Union in the attempt to assassinate the Pope, and the disposition of Federal Government personnel security investigative files. The Subcommittee also inquired extensively into the adverse effects on domestic intelligence gathering of the Attorney General's Guidelines for Domestic Security Investigations, known as the Levi Guidelines. It also studied Cuba's involvement in drug trafficking and the subversion of the African National Congress and the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) by Communist countries. Hearings on S.1959 demonstrated the alarming extent of unrestricted Communist bloc activities on the Hill. In this session, the Subcommittee will look at statistical procedures used in compiling terrorist data, the 1984 Olympics, the South Florida Task Force on Drug Trafficking, Puerto Rican terrorists, and the Foreign Agents Registration Act. |
