Reading Room Document
International Agreements by the Justice Department
This memo was written by Assistant Attorney General Antonin Scalia shortly after he testified before Congress on the subject of executive agreements. It asks the various sections of the Department of Justice to furnish him with information regarding the kinds of international arrangements the Department has made, as well as whether the Department of Justice has complied with the Case Act of 1972 by transmitting the text of any international agreement to Congress. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored. The original opinion is available at https://justice.gov/olc/page/file/936046/download.
