This report covers the administration and enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act for the 6 months ending June 30, 2003. The text of this report lists, according to geographical area or nationality field, all agents who were registered at any time during the first 6 months of 2003, or who reported for the first time in that period activities, receipts or disbursements for the previous period. It includes the identities of the agents and their foreign principal(s), a description of the agent’s activities, a total figure for monies received, a description of any informational materials disseminated, and a listing of all individual agents. I - 1 Improvements continue to be made to the Foreign Agents Registration Act computerized records system and Internet website, http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fara/. This report will be made available through the website. Registration statements are also available on the website. The principal purpose of Congress in enacting the Foreign Agents Registration Act was to ensure that the Government and the people of the United States would be informed of the identity of persons engaging in political activities for or on behalf of foreign governments, foreign political parties and other foreign principals, so that their statements and activities could be appraised in the light of their associations. Registration under the Act does not imply recognition by the United States Government of the legitimacy of any particular foreign government, or foreign political party. Furthermore, registration does not indicate approval by the United States Government of the activities of any registered agent or the content of any informational materials they disseminate. I - 2 Statistical Saumaary During the 6-month period ending June 30, 2003, the Department received 31 new registration statements and terminated 16 registrations, leaving a total of 455 active registrations, representing 562 foreign principals on file as of June 30, 2003. Individuals acting as officials or employees or rendering assistance to a registrant for or in the interests of the latter’s foreign principal filed 303 new short-form registration statements under the Act, bringing the total of active short-form registrations to 1,736 as of June 30, 2003. There were 85 new agreements with foreign principals reported by agents under the Act during this period. Pursuant to P.L. 102-395 enacted on October 6, 1992, which authorized the Attorney General to establish fees to recover the cost of administering the Foreign Agents Registration Act, $204,782.00 in filing fees was received during the 6-month period ending June 30, 2003. A total of $5,288,054.80 has been collected since the program was initiated through June 30, 2003.

  • Netiquette: Miss Manners for the Web
    4 Netiquette: Miss Manners for the Web Welcome to the world of the new influencers. The reason the social web is sometimes called the “wild west” is that we’re still working out the kinks of how best to communicate with one another online. The rules of conduct may not be set in stone, but the social web isn’t a total free-for-all either. You should be aware of some key, often mystifying, communi- cations protocols before striking up conversations with the locals. This chapter provides some lessons Friends with Benefits (C) 2009 by Darren Barefoot and Julie Szabo on how to communicate with new influencers—bloggers, YouTube stars, Facebook friend magnets, and Digg superstars. Think of this chapter as finishing school for Internet communication. If you understand the social innuendo, you’ve got a much better chance of breaking into the inner circle and getting mentioned or reviewed by powerful online influencers who can send thousands of visitors—and potential buyers—your way. We will run through a variety of communications techniques here, but if you take one lesson from this chapter, take this: Listen first. Thankfully, nearly all new influencer communications occur in the Internet’s public forum, so you can adopt an anthropological approach. By emulating the influencers’ behavior and learning their dialect, you can be confident when you approach them. As Jane Goodall discovered, the best way to learn about a species is to live among them. So you’re going to start being active online right now. Have your computer in front of you while you read this chapter, because we’re going to put you to work.

  • Compared to Any Other Dossier, Lobbying Against the European Data
    Image By: Kenna Bonner http://www.lifethroughpictures.com/ Creative Comons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 ompared to any other dossier, lobbying against the European data protection reform has taken unprecedented Cproportions. Shortly after the publication of the Commission proposal, Vice-President Reding told the UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph that the proposed privacy rules were subject to the most aggressive lobbying she has ever witnessed. Since the beginning of the legislative process in the EU Parliament in early 2013, lobbying efforts have only intensified. Pressure by the US government In December 2011, only days before the publication by of the proposal by the EU Commission, the United States Department of Commerce (DoC) launched a significant lobbying campaign. The campaign included high-level phone calls from senior figures in the US DoC to top level staff in the European Commission covering topics such as US business, multilateral and bilateral treaty organizations, traveller information, national security, law enforcement, trade and innovation. Partly as a result, this campaign lead to a watering down of the first draft by Commissioner Reding's staff. Between then and now, months of aggressive lobbying - especially by the US Chamber of Commerce - ensued, have recently culminated with threats of the Regulation (in its current form) sparking a "trade war". In January 2013, the US produced yet another lobbying paper to influence the European Union's decision making on European citizens' fundamental right to privacy and data protection. Data Protection \ Lobbying Industry lobbying & astroturfing resistance against the reform Many of the largest companies are undertaking a lot of lobbying in their own name and via trade associations, which is what one would expect.
