uniform system of record keeping related to criminal litigation and 
prosecutions and ancillary civil matters arising from criminal cases 
handled by the United States Attorneys Offices. The Department now

the disposition of the case in which they were a victim or a 
complainant, and the status of the defendant if convicted.
    5 U.S.C. 552a(e) (4) and (11) provide that the public be given 
thirty days in which to comment on these proposed changes. Comments 
must be submitted in writing to Mary Cahill, Management Analyst,
