*"CONTUMACY - The refusal or neglect of a party accused to appear and answer to a charge preferred against him in a court of justice. This word is derived from the Latin contumacia, disobedience.

Contumacy is of two kinds, actual and presumed: Actual contumacy is when the party before the court refuses to obey some order of the court; Presumed contumacy is the act of refusing or declining to appear upon being cited.

CONTUMAX - One accused of a crime who refuses to appear and answer to the charge. An outlaw." -- 'Lectric Law Library, http://www.lectlaw.com/def/c306.htm.

FINDINGS AND PURPOSE
Section 301 of title III of Pub. L. 104-132 provided that:

''(a) Findings. - The Congress finds that -

     ''(1) international terrorism is a serious and deadly problem that threatens the vital interests of the United States;
     ''(2) the Constitution confers upon Congress the power to punish crimes against the law of nations and to carry out the treaty obligations of the United States, and therefore Congress may by law impose penalties relating to the provision of material support to foreign organizations engaged in terrorist activity;
     ''(3) the power of the United States over immigration and naturalization permits the exclusion from the United States of persons belonging to international terrorist organizations;
     ''(4) international terrorism affects the interstate and foreign commerce of the United States by harming international trade and market stability, and limiting international travel by United States citizens as well as foreign visitors to the United States;
     ''(5) international cooperation is required for an effective response to terrorism, as demonstrated by the numerous multilateral conventions in force providing universal prosecutive jurisdiction over persons involved in a variety of terrorist acts, including hostage taking, murder of an internationally protected person, and aircraft piracy and sabotage;
     ''(6) some foreign terrorist organizations, acting through affiliated groups or individuals, raise significant funds within the United States, or use the United States as a conduit for the receipt of funds raised in other nations; and
     ''(7) foreign organizations that engage in terrorist activity are so tainted by their criminal conduct that any contribution to such an organization facilitates that conduct.

''(b) Purpose. - The purpose of this subtitle (subtitle A (Sec. 301-303) of title III of Pub. L. 104-132, enacting this section and section 1189 of Title 8, Aliens and Nationality) is to provide the Federal Government the fullest possible basis, consistent with the Constitution, to prevent persons within the United States, or subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, from providing material support or resources to foreign organizations that engage in terrorist activities.''
