Abstract:
A letter of April 16, 1987, from James Knapp, Deputy Associate Attorney General, to the British Embassy, clarifies the application of the Money Laundering Control Act (MCLA). From the nature of the response, it is clear that Mr. Harris' letter must have raised issues of extraterritoriality and have threatened withholding cooperation on certain mutual legal assistance matters unless the U.S. Government gave assurances that it would not violate the sovereignty of the U.K.
