NADR - Anti-Terrorism Assistance:
Program DescriptionThe State Department's Anti-Terrorism Assistance (ATA) program provides weapons, equipment, services and training designed to help foreign governments prevent and deal with terrorist acts, such as bombings, kidnappings, assassinations, hostage-taking, or hijackings. The program's chief goals, according to the State Department's 2000 Congressional Presentation for Foreign Operations, are to help protect U.S. citizens from terrorist attacks abroad and to prevent terrorists "from undermining the stability of, or otherwise adversely affecting, other nations where the U.S. has foreign policy, economic, or security interests at stake."[1]
Recipients of ATA assistance need not be members of foreign security forces; civilian government officials occasionally receive instruction in such topics as crisis management or prevention of terrorist fund raising and money transfers.

NADR - Anti-Terrorism Assistance:
LawAnti-Terrorism Assistance (ATA) is governed by Chapter 8 of Part 2 of the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) of 1961, as amended. Section 571 of the FAA authorizes the following types of assistance for anti-terrorism purposes:
- Training services; and
- Equipment and other commodities related to bomb detection and disposal, management of hostage situations, physical security, and other matters relating to the detection, deterrence, and prevention of acts of terrorism, the resolution of terrorist incidents, and the apprehension of those involved in such acts.
Section 572 mandates that the ATA program's activities be designed to achieve three objectives:
- To enhance friendly countries' anti-terrorism skills;
- To strengthen the United States' ties with friendly governments "by offering concrete assistance in this area of great mutual concern"; and
- "To increase respect for human rights by sharing with foreign civil authorities modern, humane, and effective anti-terrorism techniques."
Section 573(b) requires that the Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor be consulted when choosing countries that will receive ATA assistance, and when determining the nature of the assistance to be provided.
Section 573(c) requires that arms and ammunition can be provided "only if they are directly related to antiterrorism assistance," and specifies that the value of these arms and ammunition cannot exceed over 30 percent of the ATA program's budget in a given year.
The law governing the ATA program does not require the State Department to notify Congress of the recipient countries or the types of assistance provided.
