Sec. 13.4  Procedures: Responsibilities of the Attorney General.

    When a submission is made to the Department of Justice for a reward 
under the Atomic Weapons and Special Nuclear Materials Rewards Act, the 
Attorney General shall:
    (a) Refer such submission for review to an intra-departmental 
committee composed of the Assistant Attorneys General for the Land and 
Natural Resources Division, the Criminal Division, and the Office of 
Legal Counsel or their delegates;
    (b) Review the proposed finding of the review committee and 
determine whether a reward is justified and the amount of same;
    (c) Secure the approval of the President for any reward over 
$50,000;
    (d) Jointly determine (along with the Secretary of State and the 
Director of Central Intelligence), if the award is to go to an alien, 
whether the entry of such alien into the United States is in the public 
interest and whether that alien and members of his immediate family may 
receive immigrant visas and be admitted to the United States for 
permanent residence, notwithstanding the requirements of the Immigration 
and Nationality Act;
    (e) Notify any person claiming an award of the determination 
regarding the claim and the amount of the reward, if any. If no reward 
is determined to be justified, state the reasons, consistent with 
national security, for the denial;
    (f) Certify and transmit, along with the approval of the President 
if necessary, any award to be made to the Director of Central 
Intelligence for payment out of funds appropriated or available for the 
administration of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended, 50 
U.S.C. 401 et seq;
    (g) Not certify any amount over $500,000.
