JUSTICE DEPARTMENT RELEASES 1991 ANNUAL 'DIGEST OF BUSINESS REVIEWS'

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Department of Justice today released the 1991 annual supplement and revised indexes to the "Digest of Business Reviews."

The original Digest, published in 1983, contained summaries of letters issued by the Antitrust Division from 1968 to 1982 under the business review procedure. Supplements are issued each year.

Under the business review procedure, a firm may submit a proposed business activity to the Antitrust Division and receive a statement as to whether the Division would challenge the action as a violation of the federal antitrust laws.

The updated indexes permit research of all the letters according to topic, commodity, or service involved and name of the requesting party.

Copies of the Digest, supplements, revised indexes, and business review letters are available from the Legal Procedures Unit of the Antitrust Division, Room 3233, Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20530 (telephone: 202-514-2481).
