ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) was statutorily
established in the Department of Justice on April 14, 1989.
The OIG investigates alleged violations of criminal and civil
laws, regulations, and ethical standards arising from the conduct of the Department’s employees. The OIG provides leadership and assists management in promoting integrity, economy, efficiency, and effectiveness within the Department and
in its financial, contractual, and grant relationships with others. Also by statute, the OIG reports to the Attorney General,
Congress, and the public on a semiannual basis regarding
its significant activities.
The Audit function is responsible for independent audits
and reviews of Department organizations, programs, functions, computer security and information technology systems,
and financial statement audits. The audit function also conducts or reviews external audits of expenditures made under
Department contracts, grants, and other agreements.
The Investigations function investigates allegations of civil
rights violations, bribery, fraud, abuse and violations of other
laws, rules and procedures that govern Department employees, contractors, and grantees. This function also develops
these cases for criminal prosecution, civil action, or administrative action. In some instances the OIG refers allegations
to components within the Department and requests notification of their findings and of any disciplinary action taken.
The Inspections function conducts analyses and makes recommendations to decision makers for improvements in Department programs, policies, and procedures. In addition, this
function also conducts shorter and more time-sensitive reviews and evaluations to provide managers with early
warnings about possible program deficiencies.
The Special Investigations function investigates allegations
of significant interest to the American public and Congress
and of vital importance to the Department.
The Executive Direction and Control function provides program direction for the OIG. Responsibilities include policy
development, legal counsel, Congressional affairs, planning,
budget, finance, personnel, procurement, automated data
processing, and general support services.

The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission adjudicates the
claims of American nationals (individuals and corporations)
arising out of the nationalization, expropriation or other taking of their property by foreign governments, pursuant to
the International Claims Settlement Act of 1949 and other
statutes. In 1998, as requested by the U.S. District Courts,
the Commission will act as ‘‘Special Master’’ to determine
the ownership and value of claims for property in Cuba that
are the basis of suits filed against foreign investors in Cuban
property under Title III of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic
Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1996. In addition, the Commission will provide technical assistance to the Departments of
State and Treasury and to the public in connection with the
44 international and war claims programs previously completed, including, in particular, the Holocaust Survivors
Claims Program and the Cuban Claims Program. It also will
provide policy recommendations, evaluation of pending claims
legislation and liaison with Congressional Committees considering such legislation.

The Federal Government is represented in each of the 94
judicial districts by a U.S. Marshal. The primary mission
of the U.S. Marshals Service is responsibility for the protection of the Federal judiciary, protection of witnesses, execution of warrants and court orders, management of seized assets, and custody and transportation of unsentenced prisoners. It is the principal support force in the Federal judicial
system and an integral part of the Federal law enforcement
community.
Reimbursable program.—Federal funds in 1998 are derived
primarily from the Immigration and Naturalization Service
and the Bureau of Prisons for the transportation of alien
and sentenced prisoners, the U.S. Air Force for the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Program for transportation security
services provided by the U.S. Marshals Service, the Department of State for security details at the United Nations, the
Organized Crime Drug Enforcement appropriation for drug
law enforcement and the Office of National Drug Control Policy for security services. Non-Federal funds are derived from
State and local governments for witness protection and for

The Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 established
the Assets Forfeiture Fund, into which forfeited cash and
the proceeds of sales of forfeited property are deposited. Authorities of the fund have been amended by various public
laws enacted since 1984. Under current law, authority to
use the fund for certain investigative expenses shall be specified in annual appropriation acts. Expenses necessary to seize,
detain, inventory, safeguard, maintain, advertise or sell property under seizure are funded through a permanent, indefinite
appropriation. In addition, beginning in 1993, other general
expenses of managing and operating the asset forfeiture program are paid from the permanent, indefinite portion of the
fund. Once all expenses are covered, and statutorily mandated
transfers are accomplished, the balance is maintained to meet
ongoing expenses of the program. Excess unobligated balances
may also be allocated by the Attorney General in accordance
with 28 U.S.C. 524(c)(8)(E).

priation. Participating agencies in the Departments of Transportation and the Treasury will receive resources from other
appropriation accounts. Memoranda of understanding between
agencies will be used to maintain cooperative efforts. The
task forces perform the following activities:
1. Law Enforcement.—This activity includes the resources
for direct investigative and support activities of the task
forces, focusing on the disruption of drug trafficking controlled
by various organized crime enterprises. Organizations participating under the law enforcement function are the Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation,
U.S. Customs Service, Internal Revenue Service, Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marshals Service, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
2. Drug Intelligence.—This activity includes the resources
to maintain Regional Drug Intelligence Squads (RDIS) in selected regions. The squads gather and disseminate raw data
for strategic, operational and tactical intelligence purposes
and provide regional intelligence linkage to the National Drug
Intelligence Center (NDIC) and member agencies’ headquarters.
3. Prosecution.—This activity includes the resources for the
prosecution of cases generated through the investigative efforts of task force agents. Litigation efforts are targeted selectively on the criminal leadership involved in drug trafficking
and are intended to dissolve organized illicit enterprises. This
includes activities designed to secure the seizure and forfeiture of the assets of these enterprises. Participating agencies
are the U.S. Attorneys, Criminal Division and Tax Division.
4. Administrative Support.—This activity includes the resources for a Washington-based administrative staff in the
Criminal Division which provides policy guidance, central coordination, and administrative support to the headquarters
of the 11 member Federal agencies and the 9 regional task
forces. The administrative staff is also responsible for financial management, records management, and maintenance of
a case tracking system.
The planned distribution of obligations for 1997 and 1998
among the participating Federal agencies, as well as the actual distribution for 1996, is as follows:

The overall objectives of the FBI are to uphold the law—
to investigate violations of Federal criminal law, to protect
the United States from foreign hostile intelligence efforts,
to provide leadership and assistance to other Federal, State,
local, and international law enforcement agencies, and to perform these responsibilities in a manner that is faithful to
the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
These objectives result in the FBI being actively involved
in a wide range of investigations, including traditional law
enforcement investigations (bank robbery, kidnaping, fugitive,
bank embezzlement, etc.), investigations involving more modern phenomena (organized crime, white-collar crime, drug investigations, gang violence, health care fraud, environmental
crimes, civil rights violations, antitrust violations, etc.), and
investigations of foreign intelligence activities within the
United States. The FBI has concurrent jurisdiction with DEA
over Federal drug violations.

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION—Continued
Federal Funds—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

The direct programs of the FBI are divided into the following general categories:
Criminal, security, and other investigations.—This activity
includes all field investigations of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. These investigations are conducted by FBI Special
Agents in 56 field offices and approximately 400 resident
offices located throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
National priority investigations include white-collar crime,
drugs, organized crime, counterterrorism and foreign counterintelligence, and investigations relating to violent crimes and
major offenders. Other investigative areas are civil rights and
security programs.
This activity also includes resources devoted to national
program supervision, coordination, and management of FBI
investigations and liaison with foreign police and security
services through Legal Attaches.
Funding initiatives proposed for 1998 include: (1) $14.3 million to continue implementation of the FBI’s Legal Attache
Expansion Plan; (2) $2.5 million to assign additional agents
overseas to combat drug trafficking; (3) $5.9 million to investigate computer crimes; (4) $5.0 million to combat organized
crime; and (5) $16.7 million to continue investigative efforts
against drug trafficking and public corruption along the
Southwest Border.

In 1998, resources are proposed for several on-going and
new construction initiatives. On-going initiatives include the
construction of a new FBI Laboratory facility at the FBI Academy complex located at Quantico, Virginia. Additionally, the
relocation of the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services
Division to Clarksburg, West Virginia, and the FBI Laboratory necessitate the renovation and reprogramming of space
being vacated in the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington,
D.C. Funding of $10.5 million is being requested for this
renovation project. In addition, funding of $4.7 million is proposed to expand, renovate and realign the FBI field office
in Los Angeles, California.

The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act
(CALEA) of 1994 authorizes the Attorney General to pay telecommunications carriers for costs directly associated with
modifying equipment to allow law enforcement to perform
court-authorized wiretaps. Activities eligible for reimbursement include modifications performed by carriers in connection with equipment, facilities, and services installed or deployed to comply with the Act. In particular, telecommunications carriers are required to expeditiously isolate and enable intercept of all wire and electronic communications, provide access to call-identifying information that is reasonably
available to the carrier, deliver the intercepts and call-identifying information to the government, and provide these services unobtrusively so as to minimize interference to subscriber
services.
The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997 (P.L.
104–208) established the Telecommunications Carrier Compliance Fund for making payments to telecommunications carriers, equipment manufacturers, and providers of telecommunications support services. In addition to direct appropriations to the Fund, Congress authorized Federal agencies
with law enforcement and intelligence responsibilities to
transfer to the Fund unobligated balances that are available
until expended, upon compliance with Congressional notification requirements.
Funding in 1998, including an increase of $40 million in
direct appropriations to the Fund, will be used to continue
systems engineering and engineering development activities
for priority telephone switching platforms and associated intelligent network peripherals.

ENFORCEMENT

Domestic enforcement.—This activity encompasses DEA’s
general efforts to eliminate or immobilize major drug trafficking organizations and thereby reduce the domestic supply
of illicit drugs.
Domestic Enforcement includes the majority of the activities
encompassed within DEA’s 21 domestic field divisions. These
activities include efforts to reduce the availability of illicit
drugs by immobilizing targeted organizations that are substantially responsible for importation and distribution of
drugs and by focusing enforcement operations on specific drug
trafficking problems.
State and local task forces.—This activity encompasses efforts to reduce drug availability and immobilize major drug
trafficking organizations through intergovernmental cooperation with State and local law enforcement agencies. There
are currently 98 program-funded and 41 provisional State
and Local Task Forces participating in the program. This
program is funded in DEA’s Violent Crime Reduction Programs appropriation in 1997.
The measures below reflect the level of activity performed
by this program.

Foreign cooperative investigations.—This activity encompasses efforts to (1) disrupt, as close to the source as possible,
production of opium, heroin, cocaine, marijuana, and illicitly
produced and diverted legitimate dangerous drugs destined
for the United States, and (2) collect and disseminate intelligence regarding narcotics production and trafficking. The
measure below reflects the level of activity performed by this
program. This program is funded in DEA’s Violent Crime
Reduction Program (VCRP) appropriation in 1998.

The mission of the DEA is to control abuse of narcotics
and dangerous drugs by restricting the aggregate supply of
those drugs. At the Federal level, DEA is the lead drug law
enforcement agency. DEA accomplishes its objectives through
coordination with State, local, and other Federal officials in
drug enforcement activities, development and maintenance of
drug intelligence systems, regulation of legitimate controlled
substances activities, and enforcement coordination and intelligence-gathering activities with foreign government agencies.
Cooperation among Federal law enforcement agencies is extensive, especially within the nine Interagency Crime and
Drug Enforcement (ICDE) task forces. DEA’s involvement is
integral to this nationwide coordinated enforcement strategy.
With the ICDE program and the expansion of other agency
cooperative efforts, overall drug enforcement capabilities have
been significantly strengthened in recent years.
The activities of the DEA are divided into the following
general categories:

The Immigration and Naturalization Service is responsible
for administering laws relating to the admission, exclusion,
deportation, and naturalization of aliens. Specifically, the
Service inspects aliens to determine their admissibility into
the United States; adjudicates requests of aliens for benefits
under the law; prevents illegal entry into the United States;
investigates, apprehends, and removes aliens in this country
in violation of the law; and examines alien applicants wishing
to become citizens.
Immigration Initiative.—This budget builds upon the efforts
of the last four years to strengthen the Immigration and
Naturalization Service and implement a strategic immigration
initiative that secures the Nation’s borders as it reduces the
effect of illegal immigration. This strategic immigration initiative will focus on border facilitation and control, repair and
restoration of infrastructure, removal of criminal and deportable aliens, and reducing incentives for unauthorized employment and benefits. This budget will provide resources to improve both traffic facilitation and law enforcement along the
border and at ports of entry. Over 500 new immigration
agents, officers, and support staff will perform a strategic
mix of activities to best achieve the ‘‘prevention through deterrence’’ goal of the Border Control Strategy. New border
staffing will be deployed along the border and in domestic
and overseas anti-smuggling investigative units. This initiative also includes resources for: automated enforcement system technology; a comprehensive plan for detention and removal of deportable aliens; expansion of the employer sanctions program; and the employment verification information
system.
Enforcement.—This activity contains resources for preventing illegal entry into the United States and facilitating the
entry of qualified persons. This includes inspection of applicants for admission, patrol of the border, and the location
of illegal aliens who are in the United States following illegal
entry or violation of status after legal entry. Apprehensions
are made through the inspection of places of employment,
by the investigation of information about the location of undocumented aliens, and through investigative case work. Also
included are the resources for the Service’s nationwide antismuggling program.
Detention.—This budget includes additional resources to detain those here illegally and to begin implementing the Illegal
Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act provisions requiring mandatory incarceration of criminal aliens.
Resources are provided for investigatory, detention and deportation staff and to fund Federal use of State and local jail
bedspace to house illegal aliens pending deportation.
Most reimbursements received by the Service are from the
inspections, legalization, examination, and land border fee
programs. Also included are reimbursements for retrofitting
conveyances for drug law enforcement purposes and for managing and operating the vehicle seizure program. These resources are from the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture
Fund. Resources are also received for participation in the
Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Program.

The Immigration Emergency Fund, established by the Immigration Reform and Control Act and funded by Public Law
101–162, provides funds for possible increases in border patrol
and other enforcement activities, and for reimbursement to
States and localities for assistance in meeting an immigration
emergency. The Immigration Act of 1990, however, amended
these provisions and allows for reimbursement to States and
localities at the discretion of the Attorney General, in the
event that asylum applications in a district exceed a certain
amount during a given quarter, or if lives, property, safety
or welfare of the residents of a State or locality are endangered, or in other circumstances as determined by the Attorney General.

Resources from the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund
will be used to augment immigration law enforcement activities. Border control will be improved through the addition
of enforcement and support personnel and the increased use
of identification technology strategically deployed along the
border. Resources will be used to expand and modernize training programs and to improve technology support for Service
personnel. Interagency initiatives between the U.S. Customs
Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service will
be enhanced. The employer sanctions and employment verification information programs will be enhanced. A criminal
alien tracking center will operate providing immigration law

Federal Prison Industries, Inc., was created by Congress
in 1934 and is a wholly-owned Government corporation. Its
mission is to employ and train Federal inmates through a
diversified program providing products and services to other
Federal agencies. These operations are conducted in such a
manner as to offer a minimum of competition to private industry and labor. Employment provides inmates with work,
occupational knowledge and skills, plus money for personal
expenses and family assistance.
The Corporation has been expanding its operations to provide additional industrial employment opportunities at existing and planned institutions.
Budget program.—Federal Prison Industries, Inc., operations are entirely self-sustaining. No appropriations are required. The amounts used by the Corporation for administrative expenses are subject to a congressional limitation. Information regarding this limitation is provided separately following this account.
Financing program.—Revenues are derived entirely from
the sale of products and services to other Federal agencies.
Operating expenses are applied against these revenues, resulting in operating income or loss. Earnings surplus to the
needs of the manufacturing operations, capital improvements
and cash reserves are used to pay accident compensation.
Operating results.—To date, Federal Prison Industries, Inc.,
has returned to the Treasury a total of $82 million of retained
income excess to the Corporation’s needs. No contributions
from budget authority have been made to offset deficits for
non-revenue producing outlays since the inception of the fund.

ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE—Continued

Correctional facilities grants.—Funds provide assistance to
States to provide adequate space to incarcerate violent offenders and to implement truth-in-sentencing by ensuring that
convicted violent offenders serve a specific percentage of their
sentences behind bars.
State prison drug treatment.—Funds provide assistance to
States to establish residential substance abuse treatment programs in State prisons and local correctional and detention

the myriad problems associated with the lifestyle of drug
use and addiction.

to develop programs to fight drugs, violence, and gangs in
a coordinated manner throughout a State.
Drug courts.—Funds provide assistance to States and local
units of government to develop and implement programs for

programs use the power of the courts and continuing supervision to coerce abstinence through graduated sanctions and
the integrated administration of other services such as drug
testing and drug treatment.
Violence against women.—Funds provide assistance to
States, local units of government and to other public or private entities to develop and strengthen effective law enforcement and prosecution strategies to combat violence against
women, to implement proarrest programs, to establish and
expand cooperative efforts to address domestic violence and
child abuse in rural areas, and to provide victim services.
Among new programs requested in 1998 are the Assistance
for Delinquent and At-Risk Youth program, and the Violent
Youth Court program, which provides assistance to courts,
prosecutors, public defenders, probation and parole agencies
and others to expedite the handling of matters involving violent youth.

øSEC. 121. This section may be cited as the ‘‘Child Pornography
Prevention Act of 1996’’.
SUBSECTION 1. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that—
(1) the use of children in the production of sexually explicit
material, including photographs, films, videos, computer images,
and other visual depictions, is a form of sexual abuse which
can result in physical or psychological harm, or both, to the
children involved;
(2) where children are used in its production, child pornography
permanently records the victim’s abuse, and its continued existence causes the child victims of sexual abuse continuing harm
by haunting those children in future years;
(3) child pornography is often used as part of a method of
seducing other children into sexual activity; a child who is reluctant to engage in sexual activity with an adult, or to pose for
sexually explicit photographs, can sometimes be convinced by
viewing depictions of other children ‘‘having fun’’ participating
in such activity;
(4) child pornography is often used by pedophiles and child
sexual abusers to stimulate and whet their own sexual appetites,
and as a model for sexual acting out with children; such use
of child pornography can desensitize the viewer to the pathology
of sexual abuse or exploitation of children, so that it can become
acceptable to and even preferred by the viewer;
(5) new photographic and computer imagining technologies
make it possible to produce by electronic, mechanical, or other

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
means, visual depictions of what appear to be children engaging
in sexually explicit conduct that are virtually indistinguishable
to the unsuspecting viewer from unretouched photographic images of actual children engaging in sexually explicit conduct;
(6) computers and computer imaging technology can be used
to—
(A) alter sexually explicit photographs, films, and videos in
such a way as to make it virtually impossible for unsuspecting
viewers to identify individuals, or to determine if the offending
material was produced using children;
(B) produce visual depictions of child sexual activity designed
to satisfy the preferences of individual child molesters,
pedophiles, and pornography collectors; and
(C) alter innocent pictures of children to create visual depictions of those children engaging in sexual conduct;
(7) the creation or distribution of child pornography which includes an image of a recognizable minor invades the child’s privacy and reputational interests, since images that are created
showing a child’s face or other identifiable feature on a body
engaging in sexually explicit conduct can haunt the minor for
years to come;
(8) the effect of visual depictions of child sexual activity on
a child molester or pedophile using that material to stimulate
or whet his own sexual appetites, or on a child where the material is being used as a means of seducing or breaking down
the child’s inhibitions to sexual abuse or exploitation, is the same
whether the child pornography consists of photographic depictions of actual children or visual depictions produced wholly or
in part by electronic, mechanical, or other means, including by
computer, which are virtually indistinguishable to the
unsuspecting viewer from photographic images of actual children;
(9) the danger to children who are seduced and molested with
the aid of child sex pictures is just as great when the child
pornographer or child molester uses visual depictions of child
sexual activity produced wholly or in part by electronic, mechanical, or other means, including by computer, as when the material
consists of unretouched photographic images of actual children
engaging in sexually explicit conduct;
(10)(A) the existence of and traffic in child pornographic images
creates the potential for many types of harm in the community
and presents a clear and present danger to all children; and
(B) it inflames the desires of child molesters, pedophiles, and
child pornographers who prey on children, thereby increasing
the creation and distribution of child pornography and the sexual
abuse and exploitation of actual children who are victimized as
a result of the existence and use of these materials;
(11)(A) the sexualization and eroticization of minors through
any form of child pornographic images has a deleterious effect
on all children by encouraging a societal perception of children
as sexual objects and leading to further sexual abuse and exploitation of them; and
(B) this sexualization of minors creates an unwholesome environment which affects the psychological, mental and emotional
development of children and undermines the efforts of parents
and families to encourage the sound mental, moral and emotional
development of children;
(12) prohibiting the possession and viewing of child pornography will encourage the possessors of such material to rid themselves of or destroy the material, thereby helping to protect the
victims of child pornography and to eliminate the market for
the sexual exploitative use of children; and
(13) the elimination of child pornography and the protection
