MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: Racial
Profiling
I hereby direct you to review the use by Federal law enforcement
authorities of race as a factor in conducting stops, searches, and
other investigative procedures. In particular, I ask that
you work with the Congress to develop methods or mechanisms to collect
any relevant data from Federal law enforcement agencies and work in
cooperation with State and local law enforcement in order to assess the
extent and nature of any such practices.
I further direct that you report back to me with your findings and
recommendations for the improvement of the just and equal
administration of our Nation's laws.
GEORGE
W. BUSH
