                                                                           GOVERNMENTAL SOURCES
The Department of State Bulletin (for official statements on U.S. policies). After Sept. 11, 2001, official U.S. government websites offer much less information than in the past. For background notes before the Bush administration, go to: www.state.gov/www/background_notes/  For newer material after Bush was inaugurated, go to: www.state.gov/ and click on "regions" and then on "western hemisphere." The section on "releases, remarks, and fact sheets" contain more detailed information.
The Treasury Department. This Department is important for economic policy and is especially important for examinations of U.S. Cuba policy. The Office of Foreign Assets Control administers the economic blockade of Cuba. Go to: www.treas.gov for the home site. www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/ takes you to the office just cited.
The Department of Homeland Security. This Department now handles immigration. Its home site is www.dhs.gov
Once there, you can click onto "immigration and borders" or you can go to http://uscis.gov for access to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service. At the USCIS site, you can click onto "hot topics" and then search for a specific country (e.g., Mexico or El Salvador) on immigration issues and you'll find detailed reports on U.S. policy.
The Department of Justice. This Department is important especially in the area of drug policy. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is a part of the Justice Department. You can do country searches and find extensive discussions of U.S. drug policies as they pertain to particular countries. Go to http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/
