CHAPTER 31--THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Sec. 529. Annual report of Attorney General
(a) Beginning on June 1, 1979, and at the beginning of each regular
session of Congress thereafter, the Attorney General shall report to
Congress on the activities and operations of the Public Integrity
Section or any other unit of the Department of Justice designated to
supervise the investigation and prosecution of--
(1) any violation of Federal criminal law by any individual who
holds or who at the time of such violation held a position, whether
or not elective, as a Federal Government officer, employee, or
special employee, if such violation relates directly or indirectly
to such individual's Federal Government position, employment, or
compensation;
(2) any violation of any Federal criminal law relating to
lobbying, conflict of interest, campaigns, and election to public
office committed by any person, except insofar as such violation
relates to a matter involving discrimination or intimidation on
grounds of race, color, religion, or national origin;
(3) any violation of Federal criminal law by any individual who
holds or who at the time of such violation held a position, whether
or not elective, as a State or local government officer or employee,
if such violation relates directly or indirectly to such
individual's State or local government position, employment, or
compensation; and
(4) such other matters as the Attorney General may deem
appropriate.
Such report shall include the number, type, and disposition of all
investigations and prosecutions supervised by such Section or such unit,
except that such report shall not disclose information which would
interfere with any pending investigation or prosecution or which would
improperly infringe upon the privacy rights of any individuals.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of law limiting the amount of
management or administrative expenses, the Attorney General shall, not
later than May 2, 2003, and of every year thereafter, prepare and
provide to the Committees on the Judiciary and Appropriations of each
House of the Congress using funds available for the underlying
programs--
(1) a report identifying and describing every grant (other than
one made to a governmental entity, pursuant to a statutory formula),
cooperative agreement, or programmatic services contract that was
made, entered into, awarded, or, for which additional or
supplemental funds were provided in the immediately preceding fiscal
year, by or on behalf of the Office of Justice Programs (including
any component or unit thereof, and the Office of Community Oriented
Policing Services), and including, without limitation, for each such
grant, cooperative agreement, or contract: the term, the dollar
amount or value, a description of its specific purpose or purposes,
the names of all grantees or parties, the names of each unsuccessful
applicant or bidder, and a description of the specific purpose or
purposes proposed in each unsuccessful application or bid, and of
the reason or reasons for rejection or denial of the same; and
(2) a report identifying and reviewing every grant (other than
one made to a governmental entity, pursuant to a statutory formula),
cooperative agreement, or programmatic services contract made,
entered into, awarded, or for which additional or supplemental funds
were provided, after October 1, 2002, by or on behalf of the Office
of Justice Programs (including any component or unit thereof, and
the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services) that was
programmatically and financially closed out or that otherwise ended
in the immediately preceding fiscal year (or even if not yet closed
out, was terminated or otherwise ended in the fiscal year that ended
2 years before the end of such immediately preceding fiscal year),
and including, without limitation, for each such grant, cooperative
agreement, or contract: a description of how the appropriated funds
involved actually were spent, statistics relating to its
performance, its specific purpose or purposes, and its
effectiveness, and a written declaration by each non-Federal grantee
and each non-Federal party to such agreement or to such contract,
that--
(A) the appropriated funds were spent for such purpose or
purposes, and only such purpose or purposes;
(B) the terms of the grant, cooperative agreement, or
contract were complied with; and
(C) all documentation necessary for conducting a full and
proper audit under generally accepted accounting principles, and
any (additional) documentation that may have been required under
the grant, cooperative agreement, or contract, have been kept in
orderly fashion and will be preserved for not less than 3 years
from the date of such close out, termination, or end;
except that the requirement of this paragraph shall be deemed
satisfied with respect to any such description, statistics, or
declaration if such non-Federal grantee or such non-Federal party
shall have failed to provide the same to the Attorney General, and
the Attorney General notes the fact of such failure and the name of
such grantee or such party in the report.
