Victor Comras to Testify on Financial Sanctions Against Terrorist States

By Andrew Cochran

Victor Comras is one of a number of distinguished witnesses who will testify at a special Congressional hearing today on the subject, "Isolating Proliferators and Sponsors of Terror: The Use of Sanctions and the International Financial System to Change Regime Behavior." Two U.S. House subcommittees of the Foreign Affairs and the Financial Services Committees are holding the hearing together to set the stage for legislation designed to encourage or force cessation of business in Iran and other states which support terrorism and WMD proliferation. Other witnesses include senior officials of the Treasury and State Departments, and the state treasurer of Missouri, a leader in the "terror-free investing" movement now gaining steam with pension and retirement fund managers. The hearing begins at 2 pm ET in 2172 Rayburn Building (EDIT: see webcast through this link). We'll post Victor's testimony when it is available.
