S.Amdt. 3454

SA 3454, submitted by Mr. Grassley, aims to change the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938. It adds a specific definition for informational material and updates how such materials are filed and labeled.

• The amendment defines informational material as any material that a person believes or intends will influence the U.S. government or the public regarding U.S. domestic or foreign policies, or the interests and policies of a foreign government or political party.

• It changes the term political propaganda to informational materials in the section heading of Section 4.

• It requires labeling to state the name of the foreign country where the foreign principal is located.

• It makes it unlawful for a registered agent of a foreign principal to provide informational materials or request information from U.S. government agencies or officials (including members or committees of Congress) without a true and accurate statement that the person is registered as an agent under the Act.
