This Annual Report is the fifth that I have filed as Attorney General of the Commonwealth. It covers the period from July 1, 1978 to June 30, 1979 and therefore includes not only the last six months of the term for which I was elected in November of 1974, but also the beginning of my second term. In the inaugural address which marked the commencement of my second term, I attempted to link the accomplishments of the previous four years with the goals of the years ahead. In that address, I reiterated the one cam- paign promise I made to the people of Massachusetts throughout the 1978 election period. I vowed to recommit myself and the resources of this office to the pursuit of legal excellence in an attempt to serve the general public in- terest. While the phrase public interest has become somewhat hackneyed, serving the public interest is the essence of all the legal work performed by this Department. I have attempted to serve that interest during both of my terms by bringing cases which have the greatest possible effect on the way the people of Massachusetts live. I believe the activities of this Department chronicled in the ensuing pages graphically illustrate the success of these efforts during the past fiscal year. Whether one speaks of the traditional defense work performed by the Civil Bureau, or the white collar prosecutorial work of the Criminal Bureau, we have remained faithful to our underlying obligation to handle each and every case in conformity with the public interest. It is perhaps easiest to identify this aspect of our cases in the work of the Public Protection Bureau. That Bureau is composed of seven divisions, each of which seeks to vindicate rights inhering in the general public rather than the state as a sovereign entity. Last year the lawyers assigned to the bureau emphatically demonstrated that such a unit, which is the first of its kind in any state Attorney General's office, can effectively bring major public interest litigation. In an effort to protect the Massachusetts fishing and tourist industries and to preserve one of the world's primary sources of fish protein, we sought to enjoin the federal government from leasing certain tracts of sea bed in and around Georges Bank for oil and gas exploration and develop- ment. The purpose of this lawsuit was not to permanently prevent the national quest to locate and tap precious fossil fuels, but to postpone the lease sale until adequate regulations are in place to safeguard our environ- ment and the livelihood of thousands of Massachusetts citizens. Lawyers assigned to the Environmental Protection Division obtained an injunction halting the proposed lease sale and have since been working with state and federal officials to promulgate the regulations necessary to balance our ecological and energy concerns. The other divisions of the Bureau were equally successful in their pursuit of the public interest. The Consumer Protection Division, for instance, negotiated a million dollar settlement with General Motors to resolve a national dispute over the placement of Chevrolet engines in higher priced automobiles. Attorneys from that division also drafted amendments to the federal bankruptcy acts which were signed into law by the President during P.D.12 13 the reporting period and which provide much greater protection to con- sumers. On a more local level, we amicably resolved a dispute with the Boston Red Sox baseball team over the advertising of ticket prices. Under the terms of the settlement some 10,000 free tickets were provided to underprivileged children. Many of the other highlights of the Public Protection Bureau's year have a decidedly financial flavor.
