Tracking the efforts of foreign countries and organizations to lobby the U.S. government became easier this week. The Justice Department launched a searchable online database of filings under the 1938 Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) — including reports filed during the current month.

“This has been underway for years,” said department spokesman Dean Boyd. “Part of the statute calls for this to be publicly available and we are just doing it in a way that is more user-friendly.”
