Findings

Congress finds the following: (1) It is the policy of the United States to promote the vigorous, effective, and efficient enforcement of the antitrust laws. (2) The overlapping antitrust enforcement jurisdiction of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission has wasted taxpayer resources, hampered enforcement efforts, and caused uncertainty for businesses and consumers in the United States. (3) It is preferable that primary Federal responsibility for enforcing the antitrust laws of the United States be given to a single entity, and the Department of Justice is best suited to do so.
