| Considerable attention was devoted to enforcement of the Act. |
| The 1956 Act Section 408 was a slender provision providing for |
| injunctions. Sections 603 and 604, in contrast, provide a broad |
| array of civil and administrative techniques including asset |
| freezes, rescission orders, and civil penalties. Under Section |
| 604 the administrator may issue a cease and desist order. Two |
| other enforcement provisions in the Act are (1) stop orders in |
| Sections 306(d) through (f), and (2) broker-dealer, agent, |
| investment adviser, and investment adviser representative |
| denials, revocations, suspensions, withdrawal, restrictions, |
| conditions, or limitations of registration in Section 412. Each |
| of the enforcement provisions in the Act includes both summary |
| process and due process requirements either through judicial |
| process or guarantees of appropriate notice, opportunity for |
| hearing, and findings of facts and conclusions of law in a |
| written record. |
