We would support this amendment. Mr. Cotler is very knowledgeable in this area, and I believe we have some reservations about the efficacy of this legislation as to whether it would actually be effective or would perhaps raise expectations a little more than it realistically might provide.
But if the purpose of this cause of action is to show that people are going to have a remedy for terrorist acts committed against them by states or by state-sponsored entities, then it seems logical to include the states themselves as actors in this. We support that, as you'll hear later on other clauses. We don't like the idea of having only listed states. To include “foreign states” in this is proper, because if what we're aiming to do here is to give someone remedy for terrorist acts, then including states in that is, in our view, considered logical.
