It is the policy of the United States to deter, defeat and respond vigorously to all terrorist attacks on our

or airspace or on foreign territory. The United States regards all such terrorism as a potential threat to
national security as well as a criminal act and will apply all appropriate means to combat it. In doing so,
the U.S. shall pursue vigorously efforts to deter and preempt, apprehend and prosecute, or assist other
governments to prosecute, individuals who perpetrate or plan to perpetrate such attacks. (U)

We shall work closely with friendly governments in carrying out our Counterterrorism policy and will
support Allied and friendly governments in combating terrorist threats against them. (U)

Furthermore, the United States shall seek to identify groups or states that sponsor or support such
terrorists, isolate them and extract a heavy price for their actions. (U)
