PART II--CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
CHAPTER 216--SPECIAL GRAND JURY
Sec. 3332. Powers and duties
(a) It shall be the duty of each such grand jury impaneled within
any judicial district to inquire into offenses against the criminal laws
of the United States alleged to have been committed within that
district. Such alleged offenses may be brought to the attention of the
grand jury by the court or by any attorney appearing on behalf of the
United States for the presentation of evidence. Any such attorney
receiving information concerning such an alleged offense from any other
person shall, if requested by such other person, inform the grand jury
of such alleged offense, the identity of such other person, and such
attorney's action or recommendation.
(b) Whenever the district court determines that the volume of
business of the special grand jury exceeds the capacity of the grand
jury to discharge its obligations, the district court may order an
additional special grand jury for that district to be impaneled.
