8443: FARA/HAITI (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: Max Blanchet <maxblanchet@worldnet.att.net>

I ran into an interesting website.

It is the website for FARA, or the 

Foreign Agent Registration Act.

Per US law, all folks or entities representing 

foreign governments in the US must register 

with the US Gov, specifically the Justice Dept. 

To access FARA go to Googgle/unclesam and search for FARA.

With a bit of research, one can then find the country listings and click 

on Haiti.

For 1999, on a semiannual basis, the site lists who lobbied for the GOH

and how much they got paid in the process.

I gather that one can visit FARA's office in Washington and have access to 

info going back a decade.
