Barr Votes for More Oversight of Iranian Terrorism Financing

Statement

Congressman Andy Barr (R-KY) today voted for H.R. 3662, the Iran Terror Finance Transparency Act. The bill provides for enhanced Congressional oversight over U.S. economic and trade sanctions, particularly over Iranian terrorism financiers.

"As a member of the Task Force to Investigate Terrorism Financing, I know that we must remain vigilant to stop the flow of funds to terrorist groups, prevent attacks, and keep the American people safe," said Congressman Barr. "By advancing its missile program in violation of international agreements and by detaining U.S. sailors, Iran continues to demonstrate why they should not be trusted. That is why we passed this legislation to expand our oversight and leverage over sanctions against Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism."
