Justice Department Cites Young & Rubicam: The department has filed a civil complaint against the New York advertising agency for not reporting transactions involving the Jamaica Tourist Board. The complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said the agency violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act between 1981 and 1986 by not disclosing the disbursement of $894,000 to a local agent in Jamaica, Ad Ventures. The advertising agency, in a statement, said it had agreed with the Justice Department to amend its filings under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, adding that the “agreement specifically provides that Y&R; does not admit any past violation.”
