Press Releases

Congressman French Hill (AR-2) released the following statement today after being named to the House Committee on Financial Services Terrorism Financing Task Force:

"With the growing threat of ISIL and other terror networks, we need to do everything in our power to cripple the efforts of those seeking to harm America. Along with military and diplomatic strategies, it is essential we shut down the economic backing of ISIL and other terrorist organizations around the world. For too long, the financiers and sympathizers of terrorist groups have hidden deep in the fabric of global business, financial, and nonprofit networks. This task force will identify the ways and means to infiltrate and eliminate these dangerous groups as we continue our war against terrorism. I am pleased to serve with my colleagues in this bipartisan undertaking, and I thank the Chairman and Ranking Member for recognizing the critical financial challenges of the global war on terrorism.” – Congressman French Hill
