the legislative arm of the ATFL

The American Task Force for Lebanon Legislative Council (ATFL-LC) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization established to work legislatively in support of the goals of the American Task force for Lebanon (ATFL). ATFL's unifying goal is a secure, stable, independent, and sovereign Lebanon with full control over all its territory. The ATFL-LC, which is nonsectarian and nonpartisan, lobbies the United States Administration, Department of State, and Congress consistently with ATFL's goals. At all times, the mission and objectives of the ATFL-LC shall be in the best interest of the United States.

Because the ATFL-LC is a lobbying organization, contributions to the ATFL-LC are not tax-deductible.

The ATFL-LC is engaged in a lobbying effort to limit the damage to civilians caused by cluster bombs. The Lebanese boy to the right lost his legs to Israeli cluster bombs. To learn more about this issue, read an ATFL report about the cluster bomb problem in Lebanon.
