The Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) requires every agent representing a foreign principal to register with the U.S. Department of Justice and file disclosure forms outlining the purpose of representation, income and expenditures by the agent on behalf of the foreign principal. FARA requires only registration of foreign agents and disclosure of their activities. It does not attempt to restrict the behaviour or lobbying activities of foreign agents, but other statutes do.
