Mr. Chairman and IMembers of the Committee:

     We are pleased to be here today to discuss with you the

registration of foreign agents. Just last week we issued a

report making specific recommendations to the Attorney General

and the Secretary of State which we believe are necessary for

improving the~administration of this function. With your per-

mission, Mr. Chairman, we would like to submit a copy of our

report for the record.

     We had previously reported on this subject in 1974, and,

although improvements have been made since thenj More atten-

tion needs to be directed toward registration and reporting

requirements) Otherwise, we believe the public will not be

provided with sufficient information on agent activities, as

intended by the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, as

amended.                                              4   6 6e) 37
