The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)
was enacted in 1938. FARA is a disclosure statute that requires persons
acting as agents of foreign principals in a political or quasi-political
capacity to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with
the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements
in support of those activities. Disclosure of the required information
facilitates evaluation by the government and the American people of the
statements and activities of such persons in light of their function as
foreign agents. The FARA Registration Unit of the Counterespionage
Section (CES) in the National Security Division (NSD) is responsible for
the administration and enforcement of the Act.
