    As the largest law firm in the Nation, the Department of Justice serves
    as counsel for its citizens. It represents them in enforcing the law in
    the public interest. Through its thousands of lawyers, investigators,
    and agents, the Department plays the key role in protection against
    criminals and subversion, in ensuring healthy competition of business in
    our free enterprise system, in safeguarding the consumer, and in
    enforcing drug, immigration, and naturalization laws.

    The Department of Justice was established by act of June 22, 1870 (28
    U.S.C. 501, 503, 509 note), with the Attorney General as its head. The
    affairs and activities of the Department of Justice are generally
    directed by the Attorney General.

    Attorney General  The Attorney General represents the United States in
    legal matters generally and gives advice and opinions to the President
    and to the heads of the executive departments of the Government when so
    requested. The Attorney General appears in person to represent the
    Government before the U.S. Supreme Court in cases of exceptional gravity
    or importance.

    Community Relations  The Service offers assistance to communities in
    resolving disputes relating to race, color, or national origin and
    facilitates the development of viable agreements as alternatives to
    coercion, violence, or litigation. It also assists and supports
    communities in developing local mechanisms as proactive measures to
    prevent or reduce racial/ethnic tensions.

    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,
    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 as well as internationally.
    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 and in
    multilateral international organizations. The Division provides formal
    advice to other agencies on the competitive implications of proposed
    transactions requiring Federal approval, such as mergers of financial
    institutions.

    For further information, contact the FOIA Unit, Antitrust Division,
    Department of Justice, 325 Seventh Street NW., Washington, DC 20530.
    Phone, 202-514-2692.

    Civil Division

    The Civil Division represents the United States, its departments and
    agencies, Members of Congress, Cabinet officers, and other Federal
    employees. Its litigation reflects the diversity of Government
    activities, involving, for example, the defense of challenges to
    Presidential actions; national security issues; benefit programs; energy
    policies; commercial issues such as contract disputes, banking,
    insurance, patents, fraud, and debt collection; all manner of accident
    and liability claims; and violations of the immigration and consumer
    protection laws. The Division confronts significant policy issues, which
    often rise to constitutional dimensions, in defending and enforcing
    various Federal programs and actions. Each year, Division attorneys
    handle thousands of cases that collectively involve billions of dollars
    in claims and recoveries.
        The Division is also assisting the Office of the Special Master in
    the administration of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of
    2001. Under legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by
    President George W. Bush, the Department of Justice, acting through the
    Special Master, is responsible for the administration of the fund. The
    fund provides compensation for economic and noneconomic loss to
    individuals or relatives of deceased individuals who were killed or
    physically injured as a result of the terrorist incidents of September
    11, 2001.
        The Division litigates cases in the following areas:
        --Commercial litigation, litigation associated with the Government's
    diverse financial involvements including all monetary suits involving
    contracts, express or implied; actions to foreclose on Government
    mortgages and liens; bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings; suits

    The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the principal investigative
    arm of the United States Department of Justice. It is primarily charged
    with gathering and reporting facts, locating witnesses, and compiling
    evidence in cases involving Federal jurisdiction. It also provides law
    enforcement leadership and assistance to State and international law
    enforcement agencies.
        The Federal Bureau of Investigation was established in 1908 by the
    Attorney General, who directed that Department of Justice investigations
    be handled by its own staff. The Bureau is charged with investigating
    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 national
    security, criminal, and civil fields. Priority has been assigned to the
    such areas as counterterrorism, counterintelligence, cybercrimes,
    international and national organized crime/drug matters, and financial
    crimes.

    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 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.

        The Commission also has authority to receive, determine the validity
    and amount, and provide for the payment of claims by members of the U.S.
    armed services and civilians held as prisoners of war or interned by a
    hostile force in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam conflict, or by the
    survivors of such service members and civilians.
        The Commission is also responsible for maintaining records and
    responding to inquiries related to the various claims programs it has
