    OCTOBER 3, 2001

    STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD


    DENNIS M. LORMEL, CHIEF, FINANCIAL CRIMES SECTION
    FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

    BEFORE THE
    HOUSE COMMITTEE ON FINANCIAL SERVICES
    WASHINGTON, D.C.

    Good morning Mr. Chairman and members of the Committee on Financial

    Services. While I am pleased to appear today on behalf of the Federal Bureau of

    Investigation (FBI), I am deeply saddened by the tragic circumstances that have

    brought us together for this hearing. The terrorist acts of September 11 were

    among the most horrific crimes ever committed against the citizens of this

    Country. Of course it was not only the citizens of the United States that were

    victims of these unprecedented terrorist attacks, it has profoundly impacted people

    throughout the world.

    As a preliminary matter, the FBI strongly supports the Money Laundering Act

    of 2001, which the Justice Department submitted to Congress on September 25th.


    I
    Assistant Attorney General Chertoff s testimony discusses this legislation in detail.

    I will simply say that enactment of these proposals would greatly assist our efforts

    to fight terrorism, as well as a wide variety of financial crimes.
