      1995 - Subsec. (j). Pub. L. 104-65, Sec. 9(1)(A), struck out

    includes any oral, visual, graphic, written, pictorial, or other
    communication or expression by any person (1) which is reasonably
    adapted to, or which the person disseminating the same believes
    will, or which he intends to, prevail upon, indoctrinate, convert,

    the public within the United States with reference to the political
    or public interests, policies, or relations of a government of a

    involving the use of force or violence in any other American

    in the United States mails or by any means or instrumentality of
    interstate or foreign commerce or offering or causing to be offered
    in the United States mails;".

    activity that the person engaging in believes will, or that the
    person intends to, in any way influence" for "the dissemination of
    political propaganda and any other activity which the person
    engaging therein believes will, or which he intends to, prevail
    upon, indoctrinate, convert, induce, persuade, or in any other way
    influence".
      Subsec. (p). Pub. L. 104-65, Sec. 9(1)(C), substituted a period
    for semicolon at end.
      Subsec. (q). Pub. L. 104-65, Sec. 9(1)(D), struck out subsec. (q)
    which read as follows: "For the purpose of section 613(d) of this
    title, activities in furtherance of the bona fide commercial,
    industrial or financial interests of a domestic person engaged in
    substantial commercial, industrial or financial operations in the
    United States shall not be deemed to serve predominantly a foreign
    interest because such activities also benefit the interests of a
    foreign person engaged in bona fide trade or commerce which is
    owned or controlled by, or which owns or controls, such domestic
    person: Provided, That (i) such foreign person is not, and such
    activities are not directly or indirectly supervised, directed,
    controlled, financed or subsidized in whole or in substantial part
    by, a government of a foreign country or a foreign political party,
    (ii) the identity of such foreign person is disclosed to the agency
    or official of the United States with whom such activities are
    conducted, and (iii) whenever such foreign person owns or controls
    such domestic person, such activities are substantially in
    furtherance of the bona fide commercial, industrial or financial
    interests of such domestic person."
      1970 - Subsec. (d). Pub. L. 91-375 substituted "file with the
    United States Postal Service information in compliance with section
    3611 of title 39" for "file with the Postmaster General a sworn
    statement in compliance with section 2 of the Act of August 24,
    1912 (37 Stat. 553), as amended".
      1966 - Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 89-486, Sec. 1(1), redesignated
    former pars. (3) and (4) as (2) and (3), substituted in such par.
    (3) "combination of persons" for "combination of individuals" and
    struck out from definition of "foreign principal" former pars. (2),
    (5), and (6) which included "(2) an individual affiliated or
    associated with, or supervised, directed, controlled, financed, or
    subsidized, in whole or in part, by any foreign principal defined
    in clause (1) of this subsection"; "(5) a domestic partnership,
    association, corporation, organization, or other combination of
    individuals, subsidized directly or indirectly, in whole or in
    part, by any foreign principal defined in clause (1), (3), or (4)

    corporation, or other combination of individuals, supervised,
    directed, controlled, or financed, in whole or in substantial part,
    by any foreign government or foreign political party".
      Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 89-486, Sec. 1(2), amended provisions
    generally to redefine "agent of a foreign principal" by specifying
    four categories of activities creating the agency relationship
    where person acts as agent, employee, representative, or servant or
    at the order of, or under the control of, a foreign principal, by
    requiring a showing not only of foreign connections but also of
    certain activities performed by the agent for foreign interests, by
    making change as it relates to problem of indirect control exerted
    by foreign principals over their agents, by including political
    activities and actions as political consultant, by excluding
    attorneys from the relationship, by incorporating provisions of
    former par. (3) in par. (2) where a person assumes or purports to
    act as an agent of a foreign principal, and by eliminating the
    separate category for military or governmental officials contained
    in former par. (4).
      Subsec. (d). Pub. L. 89-486, Sec. 1(3), struck out "clause (1),
    (2), or (4) of" before "subsection (b)".
      Subsec. (g). Pub. L. 89-486, Sec. 1(4), inserted "public
    relations" before "matter pertaining to" and "of such principal"
    after "or relations".
      Subsecs. (o) to (q). Pub. L. 89-486, Sec. 1(5), added subsecs.
    (o) to (q).
      1961 - Subsec. (b)(6). Pub. L. 87-366 added par. (6).

      relating to his becoming an agent of such principal, and a
      detailed statement of any contributions of money or other things
      of value made by him during the preceding sixty days (other than
      contributions the making of which is prohibited under the terms
      of section 613 (!2) of title 18) in connection with an election
      to any political office or in connection with any primary
      election, convention, or caucus held to select candidates for any
      political office;

        (10) Such other statements, information, or documents pertinent
      to the purposes of this subchapter as the Attorney General,
      having due regard for the national security and the public
      interest, may from time to time require;
        (11) Such further statements and such further copies of
      documents as are necessary to make the statements made in the
      registration statement and supplements thereto, and the copies of
      documents furnished therewith, not misleading.
    (b) Supplements; filing period
      Every agent of a foreign principal who has filed a registration
    statement required by subsection (a) of this section shall, within
    thirty days after the expiration of each period of six months
    succeeding such filing, file with the Attorney General a supplement
    thereto under oath, on a form prescribed by the Attorney General,
    which shall set forth with respect to such preceding six months'
    period such facts as the Attorney General, having due regard for
    the national security and the public interest, may deem necessary
    to make the information required under this section accurate,
    complete, and current with respect to such period. In connection
    with the information furnished under clauses (3), (4), (6), and (9)
    of subsection (a) of this section, the registrant shall give notice
    to the Attorney General of any changes therein within ten days
    after such changes occur. If the Attorney General, having due
    regard for the national security and the public interest,
    determines that it is necessary to carry out the purposes of this
    subchapter, he may, in any particular case, require supplements to
    the registration statement to be filed at more frequent intervals
    in respect to all or particular items of information to be
    furnished.
    (c) Execution of statement under oath
      The registration statement and supplements thereto shall be

    by him; if the registrant is a partnership, by the majority of the
    members thereof; if the registrant is a person other than an
    individual or a partnership, by a majority of the officers thereof
    or persons performing the functions of officers or by a majority of
    the board of directors thereof or persons performing the functions
    of directors, if any.
    (d) Filing of statement not deemed full compliance nor as
      preclusion from prosecution
      The fact that a registration statement or supplement thereto has
    been filed shall not necessarily be deemed a full compliance with
    this subchapter and the regulations thereunder on the part of the
    registrant; nor shall it indicate that the Attorney General has in
    any way passed upon the merits of such registration statement or
    supplement thereto; nor shall it preclude prosecution, as provided
    for in this subchapter, for willful failure to file a registration
    statement or supplement thereto when due or for a willful false
    statement of a material fact therein or the willful omission of a
    material fact required to be stated therein or the willful omission
    of a material fact or copy of a material document necessary to make
    the statements made in a registration statement and supplements
    thereto, and the copies of documents furnished therewith, not
    misleading.
    (e) Incorporation of previous statement by reference
      If any agent of a foreign principal, required to register under
    the provisions of this subchapter, has previously thereto
    registered with the Attorney General under the provisions of
    section 2386 of title 18, the Attorney General, in order to
    eliminate inappropriate duplication, may permit the incorporation
    by reference in the registration statement or supplements thereto
    filed hereunder of any information or documents previously filed by
    such agent of a foreign principal under the provisions of said
    section.
    (f) Exemption by Attorney General
      The Attorney General may, by regulation, provide for the
    exemption - 
        (1) from registration, or from the requirement of furnishing
      any of the information required by this section, of any person
      who is listed as a partner, officer, director, or employee in the
      registration statement filed by an agent of a foreign principal
      under this subchapter, and
        (2) from the requirement of furnishing any of the information
      required by this section of any agent of a foreign principal.

    where by reason of the nature of the functions or activities of
    such person the Attorney General, having due regard for the
    national security and the public interest, determines that such
    registration, or the furnishing of such information, as the case
    may be, is not necessary to carry out the purposes of this
    subchapter.
