FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

FCSC-38
    Iraq, Registration of Potential Claims Against.
    Foreign Claims Settlement Commission, 600 E Street NW, Room 6002, 
Washington, DC 20579.
    Natural and juridical persons with potential claims against Iraq 
that are outside the jurisdiction of the United Nations Compensation 
Commission.
    Claim information, including name and address of claimant and 
representative, if any; date and place of birth or naturalization; 
nature and valuation of claim, including description of property or 
other asset or interest that is the subject of the claim; other 
evidence establishing entitlement to compensation for claim.
    Information in the system was collected under the Foreign Claims 
Settlement Commission's general authority to adjudicate claims 
conferred by 22 U.S.C. 1621 et seq.
    Records are used for the purpose of determining the validity and 
amount of potential claims, to facilitate planning for adjudication of 
such claims in the future. Names and other information furnished by 
registrants may be used for verifying citizenship status with the 
Immigration and Naturalization Service. Names and addresses of 
individual registrants will be subject to public disclosure. Other 
information provided by the individual registrants will be maintained 
as confidential information which will be exempt from disclosure to the 
public.
    Law Enforcement: In the event that a system of records maintained 
by the FCSC to carry out its functions indicates a violation or 
potential violation of law, whether civil or criminal or regulatory in 
nature and whether arising by general statute or particular program 
statute or order issued pursuant thereto, the relevant records in the 
system of records may be referred, as a routine use, to the appropriate 
agency, whether Federal, State, local or foreign, charged with 
enforcing or implementing the statute, rule, regulation or order issued 
pursuant thereto.
    A record, or any facts derived therefrom, may be disclosed in a 
proceeding before a court or adjudicative body before which the FCSC is 
authorized to appear or to the Department of Justice for use in such 
proceeding when:
    i. The FCSC, or any subdivision thereof, or
    ii. Any employee of the FCSC in his or her official capacity, or
    iii. Any employee of the FCSC in his or her official capacity where 
the Department of Justice has agreed to represent the employee, or
    iv. The United States, where the FCSC determines that the 
litigation is likely to affect it or any of its subdivisions, is a 
party to litigation or has an interest in litigation and such records 
are determined by the FCSC to be arguably relevant and necessary to the 
litigation and such disclosure is determined by the FCSC to be a use 
compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected.
