Attorney General's Guidelines on General Crimes, Racketeering Enterprise and Terrorism Enterprise Investigations
"These Guidelines provide guidance for general crimes and criminal intelligence investigations by the FBI. The standards and requirements set forth herein govern the circumstances under which such investigations may be begun, and the permissible scope, duration, subject matters, and objectives of these investigations. They do not limit activities carried out under other Attorney General guidelines addressing such matters as investigations and information collection relating to international terrorism, foreign counterintelligence, or foreign intelligence."

Attorney General's Guidelines on Federal Bureau of Investigation Undercover Operations
"The following Guidelines on the use of undercover activities and operations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are issued under the authority of the Attorney General as provided in sections 509, 510, and 533 of title 28, United States Code. They apply to investigations conducted by the FBI pursuant to the Attorney General's Guidelines on General Crimes, Racketeering Enterprise and Terrorism Enterprise Investigations. The use of undercover techniques, including proprietary business entities, is essential to the detection, prevention, and prosecution of white collar crimes, public corruption, terrorism, organized crime, offenses involving controlled substances, and other priority areas of investigation. However, these techniques inherently involve an element of deception and may require cooperation with persons whose motivation and conduct are open to question, and so should be carefully considered and monitored."

Procedures for Lawful, Warrantless Monitoring of Verbal Communications
"By Memorandum dated October 16, 1972, the Attorney General directed all federal departments and agencies to obtain Department of Justice authorization before intercepting verbal communications without the consent of all parties to the communication. It was then superseded, with new authorization procedures and relevant rules and guidelines, including limitations on the types of investigations requiring prior written approval by the Department of Justice, in the Attorney General's Memorandum of November 7, 1983. The Attorney General's Memorandum of January 20, 1998, superseded the aforementioned directives. It continued most of the authorization procedures established in the November 7, 1983, Memorandum, but reduced the sensitive circumstances under which prior written approval of senior officials of the Department of Justice's Criminal Division is required. At the same time, it continued to require oral authorization from Department of Justice attorneys, ordinarily local Assistant United States Attorneys, before the initiation of the use of consensual monitoring in all investigations not requiring prior written approval. In addition, that Memorandum reduced and eventually eliminated the reporting requirement imposed on departments and agencies. These changes reflected the results of the exercise of the Department's review function over many years, which showed that the departments and agencies had uniformly been applying the required procedures with great care, consistency, and good judgment, and that the number of requests for consensual monitoring that were not approved had been negligible. This Memorandum updates and in some limited respects modifies the Memorandum of January 20, 1998."

AIDS in Africa [Updated May 30, 2002]
"Sub-Saharan Africa has been far more severely affected by AIDS than any other part of the world. The United Nations reports that 28.1 million adults and children are infected with the HIV virus in the region, which has about 10% of the world's population but more than 70% of the worldwide total of infected people. The overall rate of infection among adults in sub-Saharan Africa is about 8.4%; it is 1.2% worldwide. Sixteen countries, mostly in east and southern Africa, have HIV infection rates of more than 10%, and the rate has reached 35.8% in Botswana. An estimated 19.3 million Africans have died of AIDS, including 2.3 million who died in 2001. AIDS has surpassed malaria as the leading cause of death in Africa, and it kills many times more Africans than war. In Africa, HIV is spread primarily by heterosexual contact, and sub- Saharan Africa is the only region where women are infected at a higher rate than men."

Joint Economic Committee Report on New Security Challenges and Strategies
Over the years, the Joint Economic Committee has investigated a wide range of threats to the United States and its economy. The committee has consistently identified emerging issues including radio frequency weapons, bioterrorism,
information warfare, espionage, technology transfers, transnational crime, and
weapons proliferation. We continued that course in June 2001 with a hearing entitled, "Wired World: Cyber Security and the U.S. Economy." Following this hearing, it became clear that we needed to better understand an increasingly
complicated set of diffuse security threats. Senator Bennett volunteered to identify
individuals whose perspectives about critical infrastructure protection would be of
value to the Congress and compile a study.
Computer networks connect and control everything from pipelines to stock exchanges. At a speech given on March 23, 2001, to the Partnership for Critical Infrastructure of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Condoleeza Rice, United States
National Security Advisor said, "Today, the cyber economy is the economy. . . . Corrupt those networks and you disrupt this nation."
The September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon make it clear that we must be better aware of our vulnerabilities and develop viable strategies to detect, deter, and counter both physical and cyber-based threats to our people and our infrastructures.
This compendium represents a range of perspectives on infrastructure protection,
from definitions and strategies to business challenges and policy actions. I thank
Senator Bennett for his efforts and the authors for sharing their expertise.

'Whither Deterrence?' A Brief Synopsis
"To most audiences, deterrence has been interconnected with nuclear weapons whose purpose had been to deter a Soviet attack. But, the Soviet Union has been gone for almost a decade. President George W. Bush has stated that Russia is not an enemy of the US and the numbers of nuclear weapons can be dramatically reduced. It is important to note that deterrence has always transcended nuclear weapons. The US' first line of deterrence has been its formidable conventional warfare capability, designed to prevent conflict and win wars if necessary. The role of nuclear weapons has been to deter the,use of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction against U.S. interests during the conduct of conventional warfare and to ensure our ability to inflict massive destruction on any who would use nuclear weapons, or other weapons of mass destruction, against us. With regard to the Soviet Union, the threat of the use of nuclear weapons was a critical component of our deterrent to prevent massive Soviet conventional attack against our allies in Europe. However, the events of September 11, 2001 make clear that we have not convinced all who seek to harm us that we will be able to respond in a manner to make them wish they had not even tried. The September 11 attacks, as well as other past conflicts, do not mean that deterrence has failed-it remains effective against the threats for which it was designed."

China's Economic Conditions [Updated May 29, 2002]
"Since the initiation of economic reforms in 1979, China has become one of the world's fastest growing economies. From 1979-2001, China's real GDP [Gross Domestic Product] rose at an average annual rate of 9.4%; real GDP was projected to have risen by 7.3 in 2001. Many economists speculate that China could become the world's largest economy at some point in the near future, provided that the government is able to continue and deepen economic reforms, particularly in regards to its efficient state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and state banking system. Progress in reforming these sectors in recent years has been somewhat mixed. […] Currently, China's short-term economic outlook is unclear. Economic slowdowns in Asia and the United States since the beginning of 2001 have hurt China's export industries, and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States will likely further dampen foreign demand for Chinese products and could reduce the level of planned foreign investment in China. The Chinese government has used public spending in recent years to boost the economy, and it is likely that it will continue to maintain such policies until the global economy begins to recover."

Review of Studies of the Economic Impact of the September 11, 2001, Terrorist Attacks on the World Trade Center
"The terrorist attacks caused enormous destruction in New York City. The losses included the direct costs of the destruction to lives and property, as well as cleanup, and the indirect costs of lost income brought about by business closings and related spending reductions. It is expected that some of the losses will be covered by payments from private insurance, emergency federal relief funds, and charitable contributions. Other losses, however, may never be recovered because some individuals and businesses may not have been insured or may not qualify for federal relief or charity."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 2037: Science and Technology Emergency Mobilization Act
"S. 2037 would authorize the President to establish a national emergency technology guard and a national clearinghouse for emergency prevention and response technology. In addition, the bill would authorize the implementation of a pilot program in seven states to make the communications systems used by fire, law enforcement, and emergency preparedness and response agencies compatible. Assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $70 million over the 2003-2007 period. S. 2037 would not affect direct spending or receipts; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures would not apply. S. 2037 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would provide $35 million in grants to states in fiscal year 2003 for pilot programs designed to plan and implement interoperable communications systems."

China-U.S. Trade Issues [Updated May 29, 2002]
"U.S.-China economic ties have expanded substantially over the past several years; total U.S.-China trade rose from $5 billion in 1980 to $122 billion in 2001; China is now the fourth-largest U.S. trading partner. Yet, U.S.- China commercial relations have been strained by a number of issues, including a surging U.S. trade deficit with China (which totaled $83 billion in 2001), China's restrictive trade and investment practices, and its failure to provide adequate protection for U.S. intellectual property rights (IPR). […] The 107th Congress will likely press the Bush Administration to closely monitor China's compliance with its WTO [World Trade Organization] commitments. A number of issues regarding China's compliance have already arisen. The required annual report by the USTR [U.S. Trade Representative] on China's WTO implementation will likely become the focal point of potential congressional concerns over China's compliance."

US-Japan Economic Ties: Status and Outlook [Updated May 29, 2002]
From the Summary: "In the few years, U.S.-Japan bilateral economic ties had become less tense, although issues over imports of steel from Japan, high Japanese tariffs on rice, and market access in Japan for insurance, glass, and photo film, have caused friction to increase recently. Moreover, differences have arisen over how Japan should deal with its current economic problems that have led to anemic or even negative economic growth since 1991. The United States and Japan work together in multilateral fora, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, a fledgling regional organization. There is a long history of congressional interest in Japan because of Japan's role as a world economic power and an important U.S. ally. Members are concerned about how trade and investment with Japan affects the United States as a whole and their constituencies in particular. These U.S.-Japan ties are frequently the subject of congressional committee oversight hearings."

COPS: Innovations in Policing in American Heartlands
"This report describes changes in community-oriented policing in eight law enforcement agencies that participated in a locally-initiated research project sponsored by the National Institute of Justice in the late 1990s. The agencies included four police departments serving small- to medium-size cities (Eureka and Redding, California; Pocatello, Idaho; and Rapid City, South Dakota) and the four Sheriffs Offices responsible for policing surrounding counties (respectively Humboldt, Shasta, Bannock, and Pennington counties). The departments worked closely with the LlNC researchers and exchanged promising practices among themselves."

Serial No. 107-95: Ensuring Content Protection in the Digital Age: Hearing before the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, One Hundred Seventh Congress, Second Session, April 25, 2002
On April 25, 2002, the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet of the Committee on Energy and Commerce convenes to discuss and hear testimony on Ensuring Content Protection in the Digital Age. Testifying are Lawrence Blanford of Philips Consumer Electronics, Peter Chernin of News Corporation, Larry Jacobson of RealNetworks, Joe Kraus of DigitalConsumer.org, Paul Liao of Panasonic/Matsushita Electric Corporation of America, Assaf Litai of Vidius, and Richard Parsons of AOL Time Warner Inc. Chairman Upton explains that "Today's hearing is on ensuring content protection in the digital age" and will tackle "the obstacles which stand in the way of a successful and timely transition to digital television". Regarding the transition to digital television, Congressman Markey laments that "It is readily apparent to even the casual observer that the DTV transition remains largely stalled, and even where progress is being made, it represents marginal progress at best. We are already a number of years into the transition with, frankly, little to show for it." Peter Chernin testifies to the extend and spread of digital technology, his own firm's involvement and capabilities, and his recommendations for the future. Dick Parsons speaks to the "illicit use of digital technology" and complains that "the legal remedies we have pursued to stop digital piracy are not sufficient by themselves."

Serial No. 107-94: The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act: Hearing before the Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, One Hundred Seventh Congress, Second Session on H.R. 2037, April 18, 2002
On April 18, 2002, the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection of the Committee on Energy and Commerce convenes to discuss and hear testimony on the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. Testifying are David Pasternak on behalf of the American Bar Association, Michael Barnes of the Brady Center, Elisa Barnes, Sterling Burnett of the National Center for Policy Analysis, Lawrence Keane of National Shooting Sports Foundation, Kristin Rand of the Violence Policy Center, and Jeff Reh of the Beretta USA Corporation. Chairman Stearns explains that "the bill addresses the growing problem of nuisance lawsuits filed with the intention of driving the firearms industry out of business by attempting to hold manufacturers and dealers liable for the criminal acts of third-parties who are totally beyond their control." He contends that "what these suits represent are blatant attempts to regulate an industry". Congressman Towns, however, disagrees and argues that gun dealers should share liability in gun-related incidents. David Pasternak testifies that "the American Bar Association opposes federal, state or territorial legislation to create special legal immunity for the firearms industry from civil tort liability." Michael Barnes agrees, stating that "this bill is a misguided, unjust attempt to provide special legal protection for the gun industry at the expense of innocent Americans who have been harmed by the dangerous and irresponsible actions of firearm manufacturers and sellers." Industry representative hold differing views, arguing that "If the tactic of these lawsuits is allowed to succeed, recourse to the courts can make the legislature superfluous."

Trade and the Americas [Updated May 24, 2002]
"The Summit of the Americas, held in December 1994, led to ongoing congressional interest in three inter-related trade policy issues. The first involves an invitation extended to Chile to join NAFTA [North American Free Trade Agreement]. The second focuses on preferential tariff treatment for Caribbean and Central American countries. The third concerns movement towards a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), the concept of making the entire hemisphere a free-trade zone. Two other issues that subsequently have emerged involve a request by the Andean countries to extend and expand the Andean Trade Preferences Act (ATPA), and consideration of a free trade agreement with five Central American countries. Following the Miami Summit, the U.S., Canada, and Mexico invited Chile to enter into negotiations to accede to NAFTA. Envisioned as a first step towards creation of an FTAA, preliminary negotiations started in July 1995. Chile, however, shortly thereafter suspended the negotiations pending renewal of U.S. 'fast-track' negotiating authority. In August 1999, Chile proposed to re-start discussions on a bilateral free trade agreement and negotiations eventually commenced December 6-7, 2000 in Washington. The Bush Administration has continued the negotiations with the hope of reaching an agreement sometime in 2002. A second issue concerns the treatment of the Caribbean and Central American countries that may have been hurt in trade and investment terms as a result of the implementation of NAFTA."

Saudi Arabia: Current Issues and U.S. Relations [Updated May 24, 2002]
"Saudi Arabia, a monarchy ruled by the Saudi dynasty, enjoys special importance in the international community because of its unique association with the Islamic religion and its oil wealth. Since the establishment of the modern Saudi kingdom in 1932, it has benefitted from a stable political system based on a smooth process of succession to the throne and an increasingly prosperous economy dominated by the oil sector. Decrees by King Fahd in March 1992 establishing an appointive consultative council and provincial councils and promulgating a basic law providing for certain citizens' rights could signal a gradual trend toward a more open political system. […] The United States and Saudi Arabia have long-standing economic and defense ties. Between World War II and 1975, the United States provided a total of $328.4 million in economic and military aid to Saudi Arabia, reducing and ultimately terminating these programs as Saudi oil derived income burgeoned in the 1960s and 1970s. A series of informal agreements, statements by successive U.S. administrations, and military deployments have demonstrated a strong U.S. security commitment to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia was a key member of the allied coalition that expelled Iraqi forces from Kuwait in 1991, and approximately 5,000 U.S. troops remain in the country. […] Principal issues of bilateral interest include the Saudi position on the Arab-Israeli conflict, security in the post-war Gulf region, arms transfers to Saudi Arabia, Saudi external aid programs, bilateral trade relationships, and Saudi policies involving human rights and democracy. In early 2002, Crown Prince Abdullah proposed a peace initiative based on Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories in return for normal relations between Arab states and Israel."

Issues in Implementing International Peacekeeping Operations
"Peacekeeping operations play an important role in advancing U.S. security interests. The operations attempt to maintain international security in locations such as the Congo, Sierra Leone, Kosovo, Bosnia, and most recently Afghanistan. Between fiscal years 1996 and 2001, we estimate that the United States provided $3.45 billion in direct contributions and $24.2 billion in voluntary or indirect contributions to 33 U.N. peacekeeping operations in these and other locations. In light of the substantial U.S. commitments to ongoing peace operations and the potentially high costs for new operations in Central Asia and elsewhere, in late January and early February 2002 we briefed staff from your committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on our observations of three aspects of multidimensional peace operations: (1) negotiating and enforcing peace agreements; (2) using military force to create a secure environment in which a peace agreement can be implemented; and (3) administering and rebuilding civic functions. This correspondence summarizes that briefing, which was drawn from our extensive past work examining peace operations. Enclosure I documents the information we provided to you in the briefing."
