This report covers the administration and enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act for the 6 months ending June 30, 2002. The text of this report lists, according to geographical area or nationality field, all agents ~ho were registered at any time during the first 6 months of 2002, 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-i This report includes a number of improvements made possible by the ongoing conversion of the Foreign Agents Registration Act records system from a paper based filing system to a computerized filing system. This report will also be made available through the Department of Justice website on the Internet at http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fara/. 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 they might appraise their statements and activities 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 Summary During the 6-month period ending June 30, 2002, the Department received 39 new registration statements and terminated 20 registrations, leaving a total of 468 active registrations, representing 589 foreign principals on file as of June 30, 2002. Individuals acting as officials or employees or rendering assistance to a registrant for or in the interests of the latter’s foreign principal filed 265 new short-form registration statements under the Act, bringing the total of active short-form registrations to 1956 as of June 30, 2002.
