Most Americans appear to support a return to stricter enforcement of the 1938 Foreign Agents Registration Act. Foreign agents active on behalf of a foreign principal must comply with disclosure laws. This disclosure limits their ability to claim major public relations and lobbying campaign are—in fact—expressions of grassroots and popular will.
Since the 1970s, the Department of Justice has stopped trying to enforce the law after multiple attempts against AIPAC’s parent organization (the American Zionist Council), the Zionist Organization of America and other key organizations.
