Philip T. Reeker, Deputy Spokesman
Washington, DC

Statement on the Designation of 39 Organizations on the USA PATRIOT Act’s
“Terrorist Exclusion List”
To further protect the safety of the United States and its citizens, Secretary
of State Colin L. Powell, in consultation with the Attorney General, on December
5 designated 39 groups as Terrorist Exclusion List (TEL) organizations under
section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended by the new USA
PATRIOT Act. By designating these groups, the Secretary has strengthened the
United States’ ability to exclude supporters of terrorism from the country or
to deport them if they are found within our borders.
The campaign against terrorism will be a long one, using all the tools of
statecraft. We are taking a methodical approach to all aspects of the campaign
to eliminate terrorism as a threat to our way of life. This round of Terrorist
Exclusion List designations is by no means the last. We will continue to expand
the list as we identify and confirm additional entities that provide support to
terrorists.
