Book Description
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The Logan Act, codified at 18 U.S.C. ยง 953, was intended to prohibit United States citizens without authority from interfering in relations between the United States and foreign governments. There appear to have been no prosecutions under the Act in its more than 200 year history. However, there have been a number of judicial references to the Act, and it is not uncommon for it to be used as a point of challenge concerning dealings with foreign officials. Contents of this report: Introduction; History of the Logan Act; Judicial References to the Logan Act; Department of State References; Conclusion.
