United States of America In its reply, the Government of the United States of America stated that "a Commission on Civil Rights with a broad mandate to investigate and study discrimination, including that based on religion, was established in 1983 (42 U.S.C.A. SEC. 1975). The Commission on Civil Rights is composed of eight members. Four members are chosen by the President of the United States, two members are chosen by the President pro tempore of the United States Senate, and two members are chosen by the speaker of the United States House of Representatives. The Commission on Civil Rights investigates allegations that citizens are being denied the right to vote because of religious or other discrimination, studies and collects information concerning legal developments constituting religious or other discrimination, appraises the laws and policies of the federal government with respect to religious and other discrimination, and serves as a clearinghouse for information in respect of religious and other discrimination. This statute establishes no new category of crimes but concerns collectic of information about actions which are otherwise criminal and which are motivated by or manifest evidence of prejudice based, inter alia, on religion. The intent of the statute is to aid law enforcement officials in focusing their resources, to allow policymakers to gauge the extent of the problem, and to assist local community groups in directing their educational efforts."
