SUBCHAPTER VII--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Sec. 527. Cooperation with other agencies and departments
In order to avoid unnecessary expense and duplication of functions
among Government agencies, the Secretary may make such arrangements or
agreements for cooperation or mutual assistance in the performance of
his functions under this chapter and the functions of any such agency as
he may find to be practicable and consistent with law. The Secretary may
utilize the facilities or services of any department, agency, or
establishment of the United States or of any State or political
subdivision of a State, including the services of any of its employees,
with the lawful consent of such department, agency, or establishment;
and each department, agency, or establishment of the United States is
authorized and directed to cooperate with the Secretary and, to the
extent permitted by law, to provide such information and facilities as
he may request for his assistance in the performance of his functions
under this chapter. The Attorney General or his representative shall
receive from the Secretary for appropriate action such evidence
developed in the performance of his functions under this chapter as may
be found to warrant consideration for criminal prosecution under the
provisions of this chapter or other Federal law.
