  Terrorism: Newsroom

Congressman Gallegly is a recognized leader on terrorism issues.

As a senior member of the Foreign Affairs Committee and ranking member of the Subcommittee on Europe and Emerging Threats, Congressman Gallegly has worked with our European allies to fight terrorism here and abroad. He has met with more than 50 heads of state, government delegations, or members of foreign legislative bodies here and abroad. He introduced and passed major NATO expansion legislation and represented the House of Representatives at the NATO summit in Prague at the request of President Bush.

During the 108th Congress, Congressman Gallegly chaired the Subcommittee on International Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Human Rights and, as such, chaired one of the first hearings on the 9/11 Commission’s recommendations, a hearing that led to more than 10 provisions included in the final bill. In January 2004, he traveled to Libya as part of an historic congressional delegation to meet with Moammar Gadhafi after the Libyan strongman denounced terrorism and agreed to open his country to international arms inspectors.

Six weeks later he chaired a meeting with family members of the victims of Pan Am 103 to discuss progress with Libya.

His assignments build on his experience, acquired knowledge, and understanding to identify and act on threats that we may face in the future.
