Abstract:

On July 22, the 9/11 Commission Report was released. One of its recommendations is that the priority of the U.S. strategy to combat terrorist financing should shift from freezing assets to following terrorists' money trails in order to gain intelligence leads. This recommendation has led to widespread discussion of the overall U.S. effort to combat terrorist financing. This report provides an agency by agency survey of U.S. efforts and presents numerous policy issues. This report will not be updated.
