JUDY WOODRUFF, CNN ANCHOR: And now to that report on fighting terrorism: U.S. friends, enemies and some surprising conclusions, such as using the U.S. military at home in the battle. All that and more turn up in a report by a U.S. national commission on terrorism. CNN's Kate Snow reports.</s>KATE SNOW, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): President Clinton visited Athens last November. American tourists frequent the Greek islands. But the NATO ally has been disturbingly passive in responding to terrorist activities, according to the report.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A major terrorist group which has attacked and killed Americans still has openly a headquarters in Athens even though the American government has asked that it be closed down.</s>SNOW: The commission points to 146 terrorist attacks against Americans in Greece over the past 20 years and just one case solved. It recommends the U.S. government consider designating Greece as a country not cooperating fully in fighting terrorism. That would stop Greece from buying military weapons from the U.S. A spokesman for the Greek government says, "The report's content bears no relation to reality," and that "such reports view matters through anti-Greek glasses and offer a very negative service." The U.S. State Department acknowledges problems, but the Clinton administration is not considering sanctions against Greece. The U.S. Congress formed the Commission on Terrorism in response to the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The 64-page report also proposes a change for the Pentagon: When catastrophic terrorist attacks occur, it suggests the U.S. military may be the best-equipped to take charge. The commission calls for increased funding for U.S. anti-terrorism efforts, and says the CIA should have greater ability to recruit sources with unsavory backgrounds. (on camera): The report's authors want the U.S. Congress to take action on their recommendations, but with U.S. elections just months away, even they admit Congress might be reluctant to push for changes in U.S. policy.
