Divisions

Antitrust Division

The Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division is 
responsible for promoting and maintaining competitive markets by 
enforcing the Federal antitrust laws. This involves investigating 
possible antitrust violations, conducting grand jury proceedings,

[[Page 267]]

reviewing proposed mergers and acquisitions, preparing and trying 
antitrust cases, prosecuting appeals, and negotiating and enforcing 
final judgments. The Division prosecutes serious and willful violations 
of antitrust laws by filing criminal suits that can lead to large fines 
and jail sentences. Where criminal prosecution is not appropriate, the 
Division seeks a court order forbidding future violations of the law and 
requiring steps by the defendant to remedy the anticompetitive effects 
of past violations.
    The Division also is responsible for acting as an advocate of 
competition within the Federal Government. This involves formal 
appearances in Federal administrative agency proceedings, development of 
legislative initiatives to promote deregulation and eliminate 
unjustifiable exemptions from the antitrust laws, and participation on 
executive branch policy task forces. The Division provides formal advice 
to other agencies on the competitive implications of proposed 
transactions requiring Federal approval, such as mergers of financial 
institutions.

proceedings in the United States Tax Court. Other areas of civil 
litigation in which the Division is involved on behalf of the Federal

proceedings;
    --proceedings involving mandamus, injunctions, and other specific 
writs arising in connection with internal revenue matters;
    --suits against Internal Revenue Service employees for damages 
claimed because of alleged injuries caused in the performance of their 
official duties;
    --suits against the Secretary of the Treasury, the Commissioner of 
Internal Revenue, or similar officials to test the validity of 
regulations or rulings not in the context of a specific refund action;
    --suits brought by the United States to enjoin the promotion of 
abusive tax shelters and to enjoin activities relating to aiding and 
abetting the understatement of tax liabilities of others;

reasonableness of a jeopardy or termination assessment and the 
appropriateness of the amount;
    --proceedings brought against the Tax Division and the Internal

Information Act; and

resists attempts to apply a State or local tax to some activity or 
property of the United States.

all violations of Federal law except those that have been assigned by 
legislative enactment or otherwise to another Federal agency. Its 
jurisdiction includes a wide range of responsibilities in the criminal, 
civil, and security fields. Priority has been assigned to the five areas 
that affect society the most: organized crime/drugs, counterterrorism, 
white-collar crime, foreign counterintelligence, and violent crime.

jurisdiction for the enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act (21 
U.S.C. 801) to the Bureau and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). 
The DEA Administrator reports to the Attorney General through the FBI 
Director.

United States National Central Bureau-International Criminal Police 
Organization

Washington, DC 20530. Phone, 202-616-9000

The U.S. National Central Bureau (USNCB) represents the United States in 
INTERPOL, the International Criminal Police Organization. Also known as 
INTERPOL--Washington, USNCB provides an essential communications link 
between the U.S. police community and their counterparts in the foreign 
member countries.
    INTERPOL is an association of 178 countries dedicated to promoting 
mutual assistance among law enforcement authorities in the prevention 
and suppression of international crime. With no police force of its own, 
INTERPOL has no powers of arrest or search and seizure. Instead, 
INTERPOL serves as a channel of communication among the police of the 
member countries, and provides a forum for discussions, working group 
meetings, and symposia to enable police to focus on specific areas of 
criminal activity affecting their countries.
    Under the State and Local Law Enforcement Program, States establish 
an office within their own law enforcement community to serve as liaison 
to USNCB. International leads developed in criminal investigations being 
conducted by a State or local police entity can be pursued through their 
liaison office, and criminal investigative requests from abroad are 
funneled through the relevant State liaison office for action by the 
appropriate State or local agency. All 50 States and the District of 
Columbia now participate in the liaison program, which is currently 
coordinated by a

[[Page 274]]

representative from the Maryland State Police.
    USNCB has three sub-bureaus which serve to more effectively address 
the law enforcement needs of U.S. territories. The sub-bureaus are 
located in Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
