It discusses the rules for non-prosecution agreements (NPAs), specifically noting the requirement for high-level approval if a case is of 'major public interest.' It also details conflict of interest regulations for DOJ employees and introduces the 'Ashcroft Memo' of 2003 regarding charging policies.
